smell the witch
Jun 10, 2011
I grew up listening to Swing Jazz 'cause my dad was a huge fan. I ended up developing a taste for free jazz which I would always bug him with 'cause he'd show put on such mock disdain for the cacophony:)

One great, and recent, (semi)Jazz album that doesn't seem to get the credit it deserves is Charles Spearin's The Happiness Project. Spearin recorded conversations with people in his apartment block - asking them each to define happiness - and made music around the melodies found in the speech. Very beautiful album, even though it's definitely not pure jazz as it's got some ambient and indie.
