Cool, Bebop, Straight Ahead or Fusion: The Jazz Thread

Ive really been digging the fusion between Jazz and House music lately, some artists I would recommend: Berlioz, Teuteu, dublon and Bolden.



 
RIP Sonny Rollins. Amazing, in the Miles Davis autobiography he talks of large amounts of drugs being used. And here Sonny Rollins lives till 95.

Looking for a specific video and then will update.

Yeah, it's shocking how much high quality jazz was produced in those days (yeah, I know, had pun). It's hard to find a bop or somewhat later jazz great who didn't use. 😍

James Victor Scott (July 17, 1925 – June 12, 2014) was an American jazz vocalist known for his high natural contralto voice and his sensitivity on ballads and love songs. His unusual singing voice was due to Kallmann syndrome, a rare genetic disorder that limited his height to 4 feet 11 inches until the age of 37, when he grew another 8 inches. The syndrome prevented him from reaching classic puberty and left him with a high voice and unusual timbre.​
