Forget da funk! This Byrd flight heads straight for the heart, as the famed trumpeter soars above the sounds of an old-fashioned jazz standard.

Lost for decades, this live-from-NYC track gives a rare glimpse of Duke and his orchestra when lots of folks weren’t listening -- but you should!

Ella’s pretty stellah on this ‘30s pop jam from the vaults. Still just a kid, her pipes were nearly ripe, and she shows she knows how to swing!

Good Enough To Keep |
MP3 |
|
Jazz |
This live gem showcases Ella Fitzgerald scatting the crap outta this bouncy little number. Weaving lines from popular songs of her day into her intricate scat phrasings (and at one point proving she just might have invented Tuvan Throat singing), we wonder if this one is good enough to keep. You.. make.. the calllll!

Ranglin’s latest riddim goes light on the reggae and heavy on the funk! The Jamaican guitar legend serves up a dead ringer for classic, Verve-style acid jazz!

Crisp and directed jazz instrumental from all-star combo is unpretentious and inviting. Sophisticated enough for the purists; accessible enough for the uninitiated.

The Boss, the brass, and Ol’ Blue Eyes kicks ass! When Sinatra swings, there’s a “Night and Day” difference between him and the competition!

Harder + faster = better on this pumping bop workout from ’81. If you remember Hub as just a mellow fusioneer, hear how wrong you were.
