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 11 in the series and I'm super happy to present https://www.mixcloud.com/greenstreet/ as my guest. While he is known for his releases on the Cold Busted Record Label, he is also a presenter of the https://www.mixcloud.com/coldbusted/ podcasts, which feature high profile guests and are super funky.
You can find their original music here: https://www.beatport.com/artist/green-street/108910
Green Street lays down the first 47 minutes of this mix with some of his funkiest jazz vinyl treats. I then add to the funky journey with some modern and classic selections.
