In JazzNotJazz, we create a unique mixtape from 100 years of Jazz recordings, combined with relevant, or sometimes not-so-relevant facts. The focus of this program is The Soul of Jazz, so we will most definitely deviate to associated genres. We also have some infrequently recurring segments such as “De Niet Platgespeelde Standard” (The Unplayed Standard), “Ellington Train Songs,” “Jazz Cameosl,” and “More is Better.”
During this episode we will listen to two of our favourite jazz standards with original instrumental basis. We will listen to a trio of songs we can label ‘jazz-rock’. We will also once again show Frank Zappa’s love-hate relationship with jazz. Then we will listen to a somewhat original jazz cameo. Finally, we will play a virtuoso yet moving performance of a Danish children’s song.
