these threads are for gospel, rhythm & blues, funk, modern funk, deep funk, Norther funk, soul, Northern soul, neo-soul, blue-eyed soul, PBR&B, disco, post-disco/NYC garage music, nu disco, black or white, old or new, just anything groovy not already covered on the board!
Tonight, I'd like to personally on the inception and progression of the 'rhythm and blues' sound, from big band jazz, electric blues, doo wop through to rockabilly, to funk and soul and the Philly sound and proto-disco.
Feel free to post whatever catches your fancy though.
I think I've recently began getting into Bebop Jazz.
I've always had an appreciation for Jazz, I just for some reason never thought of actually getting into it.
I think I have a nice understanding of Where Jazz was, but my feelings from listening to Jazz is that it's kind of an ever evolving genre. Each decade introduced more variety, interesting soloists with new ideas, it's a genre that seems to have changed and evolved rapidly in different directions.
I'd say it's one you look back on to appreciate its history as you keep up with what's new in the world of Jazz, but I don't know current Jazz musicians or where Jazz is today (Ironic.)
