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.
For Volume 13 in the series I'm really happy to present mixcloud.com/generalprevolutionsound/ as my guest. General'P is one of the best producers of downtempo hip hop, soul, jazz and reggae mixes on Mixcloud. His selection and mixing skills are superb and his musical knowledge and collection inspiring. In fact he really surprised me with this mix, I was expecting something in his usual style and for this he has gone way back and delivered a beautiful 44 minute mix.
I follow him with my own selections all taken from the Blue Note catalog. I hope you enjoy it and if you do please feel free to repost and share.
