We’ve been adding your favorite hits from the past…some with twists, and the hottest jazzy hits from the present. For instance:

 

Mark Murphy – Stolen Moments (Phil H Edit) - He has been one of jazz’s hidden treasures for too long. Great chops see him live; this is one of his signature songs.

Groove Armada – Little by Little /w Ritchie Havens - I had a bad copy of this song for a long time and finally located a Remastered copy of this, Ritchie Havens voice just does so much for the song, with the right amount of beats and acoustic guitar just sets it off.

 

Aaron Jerome – Angel Lady, Time To Rearrange - Two nice songs from a new to me artist. Great diverse jazz chops and grounded in soul and groove.

 

Malia – I Love You Porgy - This song for me is such so ingrained with my love of Nina Simone’s version, I had to really use an open mind to listen, and Malia does a decent interpretation of this classic.

 

Brothers And Systems – 1/2 4 Me, 1/2 4 You – This may qualify as a dusty disc from 1992 produced in Vancouver, B.C., Canada. Combining elements of jazz, funk, hip hop, soul and more, with house and downtempo styled beats. Combined with fine melodies and smooth, crisp, intelligent lyrics & vocals, created a pop sensible hybrid sound that was well ahead of its time.

 

Gregory Porter – Real Good Hands - What an outstanding new to me artist with his own style unlike anyone I can easily compare with, except now that I think of it Mark Murphy. Not afraid to try different original material and the emphasis is his voice and the message a rare mixture in today’s music. Check out 1960 What also. He’s touring now see him!
