Front page videos & new artist additions

Usually when we add a new artist, we'll put up a video or two to go with that artist and those videos will show on the front page for a while until new ones push them off.

Yochanan was a bizarre outsider blues artist in Chicago who was backed and recorded by Sun Ra and his band back when Ra worked as an all-around music hustler/producer. His rendition of "Hot Skillet Mama" is hilarious.

In his early days Sun Ra was a professional arranger, producer, leader of backing bands etc, his approach to backing guys like Watson and other blues/RnB performers was more or less straight ahead with some quirkiness around the edges, but given Watson's own tendency towards oddball humor, I would imagine those two working together was anything but business as usual.

Thats a real good recording too, I'm trying to search for the videos that have the best sound quality.

I put a cut from "Strange" up there, you expressed intreest in the review.

^ Julien is a member of this site, he sent me that CD.

Fans of early 70s psychedelic jazz will want to check out Albert Dailey's "Free Me", it sounds like no one else.

Our site added a musician in a section of some pop jazz recently. I do not know whether they are called as smooth jazz. However, I like such a music. Probably it is elevator music. Or a nu adult contemporary may be often recognized as a genre. I felt that the name to be called smooth jazz should not be proposed widely. In any case I really check even such a music.

Yes. I notice that recent pop jazz is refined including arrangement of the rhythm very much. It may be boring for a pure jazz listener. However, I thought that music of high quality appeared necessarily when a musician was able.

Fans of Pat Methaney and John Abercrombie may want to check out Mick Goodrick.
