In JazzNotJazz, we’ve compiled a unique mix tape from a hundred years of jazz recordings, adding some meaningful and sometimes frivolous facts. As it’s also about The Soul of Jazz, there will definitely be some detours into affiliated styles. We have (irregularly) recurring elements like “Ellington Train Songs”, “Jazz Cameo’s”, “Keith Plays Miles”, “Jazz B4 ‘44” and “More is Better”.
This episode, we serve you a four-course gourmet meal of More is Better! A few extra tracks from one of our favourite compilations. A short explanation and example of the perfect record side phenomenon. Three tracks linked by Herbie Hancock. A Jazz Cameo! And of course, the perfect dessert.
