Is it freedom, is it tradition, is it alive, does it continue to evolve and thrive or is it an art form stuck in time. I cannot answer any of these questions or even really tell you what Jazz is. I can tell you how it makes me feel, where it takes me and what it means to me, but best I leave that to the music which does it much more eloquently.
This is Volume 10 in the series and I'm super happy to present https://www.mixcloud.com/Gelale/ as my guest. I have followed him a long time now and while he is known for his 'Funky Explorations' series and left field journeys into hip hop, rock, pop and general eclecticism, he is one hell of a jazz digger as well.
He surprised me with all 47 minutes of his mix, but he always does. This is a journey into deep and Spiritual Jazz, one of my deep loves. I hope I have supported his mix with my selections.
Please get over to Gelale's page right now and show him some love, it will be returned by his great mixes.
