Picture Michael Brecker: Sven Petersen
In JazzNotJazz, we create a unique mixtape from 100 years of Jazz recordings, combined with relevant, or sometimes not-so-relevant facts. The focus of this program is The Soul of Jazz, so we will most definitely deviate to associated genres. We also have some infrequently recurring segments such as “De Niet Platgespeelde Standard” (The Unplayed Standard), “Ellington Train Songs,” “Jazz Cameos,” and “More is Better.”
This episode is a mini-special inspired by the soundtrack Trouble Man, composed by Marvin Gaye. We’ll hear three tracks bridging the gap between jazz, soul, and funk (or vice versa). We’ll also feature a lyrical piece by Michael Brecker. Lastly, stay tuned for the segments More Is Better and Ellington Train Songs!
