  3. 50 jazz tracks for your streaming shuffle, no.47

    Eddie Harris. A Little Wes

    Eddie Harris has a distinctive tone & on this mid-tempo groove, he uses it to great effect. A sort of modal, latin rhythm backs Harris' lead sax, as well as great relaxed guitar & piano solos, while the track loops along offering a hypnotic groove. The swirling groove is atmospheric & reminds me of a late night bar... which is when I often play it in DJ sets.

  4. 50 jazz tracks for your streaming shuffle, no.41

    Willis Jackson. Soul Train

    Willis 'Gator' Jackson has a great saxophone tone & here its deployed on top of a driving modal R&B rhythm to great effect. A mash up of jazz & late 60s soul sensibility this is a great bit of early jazz fusion that always fills the dance floor.Hope you enjoy its uncomplicated charms.... back to back with yesterday's track you've got a great ten minutes for dancing!

  5. 50 jazz tracks for your streaming shuffle, no.26

    Yusef Lateef. Nubian Lady

    This down-tempo funky flute led groove is a wonderfully soulful bit of jazz funk. The great jazz playing & a funky rhythm sensibility makes this a Prof DJ jazz night staple - I've lost count of how many people ask me what this is when its on the decks. A relaxed track that gives Lateef's brilliant flute playing the showcase it deserves. Enjoy

  6. 50 jazz tracks for your streaming shuffle, no.17

    Gary McFarland Sextet. Pecos Pete

    This is a lovely little bit of groovy jazz; a pulsing rhythm track, some great relaxed solos with Garry McFarland's vibraphone anchoring the entire track. Its effortless cool & demonstrates when McFarland could be an excellent arranger. Its over 60 years old this still sounds fresh & modern right now.

  7. Today a new series of recommendations for your streaming shuffle starts.

    After the vote of Easter weekend, I will be sharing 50 tracks to help you explore jazz music if you're not familiar with it & want to see what the genre entails.

    the posts will appear under #JazzIntro. which you can follow for a daily recommendation

    There may be some (slight) crossover with #KillerCuts but I'm aiming for a shuffle that will be a good introduction to what jazz encompasses - enjoy.

  8. ProfDJ's killer cuts for your streaming shuffle, bonus track (no. 101)

    Junior Parker. Taxman

    Tomorrow #JazzIntro gets under way, but while you're waiting how about grooving to a funky Beatles cover. Not sure this is how George Harrison imagined this would sound, but it a masterclass in taking a song & injecting bluesy funkiness into it to give it a different feel altogether - enjoy your bonus track!
