I haven't seen a lot of mixes of straight-ahead jazz on here. What's up with that?I'm about to throw one together of some of my favs; you should do the same and post it up.No funky, free, fusion, Bossa, smooth, soul, or spiritual. Vocal is cool, though.GO

    What do you mean by straight-ahead jazz? Bebop?

    Bebop and Hard bop. 50s and 60s--Mingus, Monk, Dexter Gordon, Hank Mobley, etc.

    fatback posted a couple of solid jazz mixes that I love a couple of years back. One of them was a Prestige Mono OG mix. Good shit.

    GO

    i will be needing this when its done, the closest i have would be either a 4 hour recording of jazz a night we did a few years ago, or a mix i did early last year that is maybe a little on the funky side, definately keen for the prestige mono tape that you speak of too

    I recently did a jazz mix for thisistomorrow.blogspot.com, which is mostly 'straight-ahead' jazz. A little bit funky some times, but not really jazz funk.

    I have a vast archive of recordings from the jazz happy hour that I used to do with Birdman. He is still doing it BTW.

    They were ripped directly on my iRiver and some turned out really great.

    Nice to see this! I'm working on a jazz mix with a friend of mine. Mostly rare scandinavian stuff from the sixties!

    I'll let you know when it's done!

    Not strictly 50s & 60s stuff, but a window on to the jazz music of Argentina from mid 60s through to early 80s.
