Gabriele Poso - You Don’t Love Me ft. Osunlade
This is an amazing latin jazz cover of the Dawn Penn classic.
My only gripe is that it’s too short! It really gets grooving and then it’s over -___-
*LE SIGH*
DJ Alvin Black III - Art of Ashby
“A mix featuring works by, songs sampling, and collaborations with harpist Dorothy Ashby. Get familiar!”
Decknologist - Madlib Mix
“Decknologist definitely draws more for the more jazzy, instrument orientated tracks that Madlib has produced, making for a casual, laidback selection up in this set. Its almost like listening to soul music from three decades back, such is the demonstration of how far Madlib goes back in resurrecting the heritage of raw soul anthems of back then. And a wealth of eclectic Beat Konducta joints in there too.
Mix can be streamed on the Mixcloud player posted at the top, and can be downloaded through this link.”

Robert Glasper Experiment ft. KING - Move Love (Bossa Soula Remix)
“With his update, Sirour takes the original version to Brazil and definitely has been my favorite thus far out of the ones that I have heard. It has a very unique and original vibe, and the way the production that Sirour lays out changes throughout the song make you want to dance with your love.
You can vote for the track here, and make sure to support Robert Glasper’s latest installment Black Radio next Tuesday– could possibly be one of the best albums of the year.”

[Yesterday’s New Quintet] - Sun Goddess
Madlib’s take on Ramsey Lewis’s Sun Goddess
(via starchildluke)

“Remember when jazz was a so-called “dance” music? When swing drove masses to ballrooms and inspired popular dances like the Lindy Hop, Charleston and Jitterbug?
Probably not; most of us will never know what the ’30s and ’40s were like, when jazz was more than a spectator sport. But in this age of electronic music, with sampling and loops, getting down to jazz sounds isn’t so uncommon — sampled saxophones and ride cymbals have re-emerged in dance halls in innovative forms of house music. Here are few successful fusions of jazz and electronica.”
