The “story of a magpie who wonders (or wanders) the world”. I hope this is on-topic as it's like a jazz chamber rock prog folk fusion explosion :yeah:

This has to be the only Miles song, at least that I've heard, that's so bad it's good



I didn't realize Bob Dorough, who sang this song, is the guy who wrote most of School House Rock and performed many of the songs.

Andy Partridge of XTC's favorite album, apparently.

Ahmad Jamal's Alhambra

This is why I effing love jazz.

If I heard this lady practising across the street I definitely wouldn't be able to connect with her melody or downbeat or tempo or key. It would just be random sounds. Similarly, if I only heard the band playing without her I'd probably just think it's a pleasant background groove.

However hearing both together somehow give off a friggin' awesome sound, and it all clicks into place in some weird stellar combustion. It's like you can't have one without the other.

I wonder if it's their own composition or a cover of a jazz standard? (This short snippet was all she posted on her insta yesterday). Does anyone recognize it...?

Hello folks, i need a few be bop / instrumental jazz or instrumental swing jazz songs for me to work on. On guitar that is. There is a cool version of donna lee played on guitar on youtube, with tabs and such. Any advice please ?
