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 8 in the series and I'm very pleased to have one of the funkiest djs on Mixcloud https://www.mixcloud.com/ZeligZelig/ stepping up for this one. If you haven't heard of Zelig, jump on it people, he's 'JazzFunk' and 'Is It Friday' series of mixes are some of the best you'll hear. He has deep crates, a funky sensibility and a serious groove and this is all on show in this wonderful mix.
Zelig lays down the first 43 minutes and I follow with a serve of Nu Jazz treats inspired by Zelig's selected treat.
Another fine session that gives us yet another taste of the jazz spectrum.
