i started listening to jazz when my mom introduced me to manhattan transfer, birdland ang una ko narining na kanta sa kanila. My mom was so engrossed with the soul groups back then, Stylistics , the supremes, and the like, on my 8th birthday she gave me a George Benson LP for my initial jazz immersions. nag widen ang scope ko with Jazz when i met psychic sushi, Boss Jim, Deacon_blues and jazhombie. Although im still immersed into the rnb theme, the jazz genre is my way of escaping from the real world.
As of the moment im listening to Tal farlow, Jody Mitchell, frank gambale, Wayne Krantz, Greg Howe band, Chick Corea Electric band, Earl klugh and Fourplay. The melodicism of jazz has grown quite infectiously if I may say so. i'm now immersing myself to the music of John McLaughlin and paco de lucia.
I have to admit mas malaki ang impact ng Cassiopeia sa listening aspect. The Live version of galactic Funk gives me the chills, lalo na nung nakita ko na ung gitarista ang gumagawa ng synth lines....dats y Im still drooling to get my own synth for the guitar, which hopefully i'll get by the end of 2007. Hoping to learn more form you guys. Im expecting new material from kawayan strat on the next Hazy nights.
Jason musta na pre?
