Another lousy day of service at this restaurant…oh, wait, I’m home. I woke up, rolled over, went back to sleep, and the next thing I knew it was 11:30. Yes, it is nice. So let’s get to it with another...

Acid Jazz Junkie #1 - Doo-Bop

Scott Ganschow @teamfreak16 (43595) • Denver, Colorado 5 Feb 20

One of my endeavors is rebuilding my acid jazz collection. Perhaps I'm not looking in the right places, but the acid jazz that I'm finding on vinyl is really, really expensive. So I'm going to collect my acid jazz on CD, just as...

Bringing my pretend son to a drunken jam?

The Horse @TheHorse (238306) • Walnut Creek, California 20 Oct 19

My buddies Michael and Rod and I are going to do a "drunken jam" this afternoon. I play guitar and bass with these guys, but my secret weapon is piano. I can fake jazz piano pretty well, and jazz piano trio is what we'll be doing...

Wish I'd Seen 'Em #1 - Miles Davis

Scott Ganschow @teamfreak16 (43595) • Denver, Colorado 8 Nov 18

Wish I'd Seen 'Em. It's a musical series about musicians that I wish I'd seen in concert, because they are now deceased and I totally missed out. We are at #1: the legendary Miles Davis (1926-1991.) Jazz trumpeter Miles Davis,...

Play it Again, Sam #12b - "Time After Time"

Scott Ganschow @teamfreak16 (43595) • Denver, Colorado 23 Jun 18

We're keeping it mellow, really mellow, on today's Play it Again, Sam. We are at #12b, the "cover" portion: Miles Davis' cover of Cyndi Lauper's "Time After Time." I would say that by the 1980's, jazz legend Miles Davis could do...

Favorite "Real People" Songs #8 - "Billy Preston"

Scott Ganschow @teamfreak16 (43595) • Denver, Colorado 4 Dec 17

Favorite "Silent" Songs #10 - "In a Silent Way"

Scott Ganschow @teamfreak16 (43595) • Denver, Colorado 25 Aug 17

Shhhh. After just focusing on Gary Moore for my last music countdown, I have a theme this time around: my Favorite "Silent" Songs, songs with "silent," or "silence" in the title. The #10 spot belongs to the legendary Miles Davis...

Favorite 80's Jazz Songs #3 - "Human Nature"

Scott Ganschow @teamfreak16 (43595) • Denver, Colorado 14 Oct 16

In the 1980's, smooth jazz was becoming quite popular ( I blame Kenny G.) Even the legendary Miles Davis was making songs that fit smooth jazz formats. In fact, Miles is #3 in my Favorite 80's Jazz Songs series, with his cover of...

Into the Groovy #45 - "The Doo Bop Song"

Scott Ganschow @teamfreak16 (43595) • Denver, Colorado 1 May 16

Miles Davis is a jazz legend, always thinking forward, pushing boundaries, and is credited with inventing new styles. Or as Quincy Jones put it, Miles "re-invented jazz five times." According to the liner notes, Davis spent a...

From the iPod #3 - "So What"

Scott Ganschow @teamfreak16 (43595) • Denver, Colorado 22 Feb 16

When Miles Davis was recording his Kind of Blue, he might not have considered that it would become possibly the greatest jazz album ever made. Especially interesting is that, according to Ashley Kahn's book Kind of Blue, is that...

Who likes jazz?

isavedlatintwice @isavedlatintwice (72) • United States 13 Jan 07

John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Charles Mingus, Thelonious Monk, Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald...I feel like I'm the only person who listens to any of these guys anymore. I feel old (though I'm not even 20 yet).
