Dub Modal

Is the OP's question specifically for soul music of decades past? If so, why is that?

The episode of Ted Lasso from a couple of weeks ago did a brief tribute to Chet Baker and incorporated it into the episode's story nicely. Unexpected but well done.

Let this man scratch that Blues Funk itch you have

Never heard anything that left an impression or that made me want to search for more. Better stuff elsewhere...

If I have the time, I dig those crates.

No specific LPs but Johnny Guitar Watson & Albert Collins are guys I always recommend outside of the well known players. Great albums and styles.

Indeed. Wes paid dues on top of dues.

Listening to Grover's Winelight while working. Don't judge me... Earlier, 'twas: via the Mosaic Select.

Discogs lists an LP copy at $0.42! Shipping = $6 lol.

I dig the tune and glad I ordered this set. Looking forward to giving a full listen. 👍

George Duke and those late 70s Crusaders albums.

This thread is nearly 19 years old and the early pages are pretty funny/interesting. People can get bitchy as hell talking about music and musicians. Makes for an entertaining read at least. Hate that I'm only coming around to enjoy is music at this stage with the man turning 78 later this year. Makes me think JSngry's on point with the documentation of his output as I wouldn't doubt he's thinking about legacy and keeping the Tri-Centric Foundation going into the future. Long game indeed. For Johnny-come-lately's like myself, that's a great thing. Regarding the Braxton Bootleg material, is all of that available via bandcamp? I've seen a few but nothing like what's there on that discogs page.

On a Braxton kick. May take a while. Is there a book that compiles all or a lot of his compositional artwork? Fascinating stuff...

Conforth & Wardlow's book is excellent. I recommend it to anyone.

Never heard of this album or artist. Bookmarked.

Just want to say to any shoppers here that you can buy with confidence. My CDs were delivered fast and as described.

Boom. Excellent list. Disco 3000 is the top one for me as well 👍 Not a bad album mentioned so far either

I'm listening to Braxton's 12 Comp (Zim) 2017 and absolutely loving it.

Jazz related threads there can be pure comedy. Hot takes and asinine commentary galore

Welcome to the party pal! 😎

The Pressure Sounds comp I was referring to: I also didn't realize that the Island label had a separate sublabel for Jamaican Jazz: https://www.discogs.com/label/60795-Island-Jamaica-Jazz Plenty of Skatalites, Monty Alexander, and Ernest Ranglin there. Here's another interesting Jazz Jamaica album: They cover Silver's Bernie's Tune. Some of the best musicians from Jamaica represented here too. In addition to Ranglin, there's Tommy McCook, Don Drummond & Roland Alphonso.

Well, there's a Bob Marley interview on CD called So Much Things To Say and he makes some interesting comments about the musical limitations of musicians in JA, which would contribute to a limited jazz scene there. The sound system culture and other musical tastes leaned away from "jazz" specifically as well. Probably hindered sales and gigs that would induce anyone from playing the music explicitly.

The Decca/Commodore Mosaic isn't mentioned in this thread yet (unless I missed it, only see the All Stars CBS so far) but Big Beat Steve mentions the jam sessions LP which was on that Decca/Commodore. That box also has some Bud Freeman trio songs that are outstanding. I'd check the discography there if possible for other LP leads.

Dub Store in Japan has reissued a few Ranglin titles. There was also a comp put out by Pressure Sounds called Jazz Jamaica or something like that. Has tracks from Tommy McCook et al. which I think were all recorded in JA. That record is a mixed bag however.

NP Alfa Mist's Spotify playlist called Alfa Mist Digs Jazz. It's a pretty diverse tracklist. First song is Julian Lage's Tributary from the View With a Room album. Definitely chilled out.
