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 9 in the series and I'm very happy to have one of the most soulful and funky selectors on Mixcloud https://www.mixcloud.com/NikeSparx/ along for this jazzy ride. Nike opens with the first 43 minutes and as I thought it's soulful, sunny and engaging. I follow with 47 minutes inspired by Nike's selections and it gets real funky.
Please get over to his page quick smart and show him some love, it will be returned by his great mixes.
