Go out and buy "Buddy Rich-No Funny Hats". Best Jazz album I've ever listened to.

lol. I said that I would and I now have. Wonderful music and I really do mean that. Awesome playing. One day I will get around to my jazz studying. I have had that as a goal for years, but I am stuck in a trap of just working on technique. Sucks. Did you study somewhere or are you self-taught?

i'm at university for a dual emphasis music degree in jazz studies and music technology. So i played, recorded, mixed and mastered that session haha. my younger brother filmed and edited the video.
i play with the guys in the video very often. we've started to play out once or twice a month. we're hoping that these videos make enough noise for us to get out there even more. Thanks for watching!

Hell yes I am. Wish I knew more about it and listened to it more, but I played drums in a jazz ensemble for a few years, and I love the genre.

1930's reeferjazz is some of the best things ever, i think it's important to know the roots of much of the music we enjoy today, like hip hop. Jazz hip hop is fucking chill, and something i listens to a lot.
Also Blues is the shit!

Spotify links, assuming most of you guys/gals use that rather than youtube.

Jazz hip hop:

Blues:


And of course:
