Over the last two weeks, the students in the Jazz Band have each brought in a track to share with the class. We heard an incredible variety of music from classic hard bop, modal, and bossa nova to modern electronica and South Asian hybrids. Here's a list of what we've been listening to:
“MacArthur Park,” M.F. Horn, Vols. 4-5: Live at Jimmy's – Maynard Ferguson
“Girl from Ipanema,” Getz/Gilberto – Stan Getz and Joao Gilberto
“Portrait of Tracy,” Jaco Pastorius – Jaco Pastorius
“Pursuance,” A Love Supreme – John Coltrane
“Looking Out, Looking In,” Apti – Rudresh Mahanthappa
“Memai” – S&PS
“Squib Cakes,” Back to Oakland – Tower of Power
“Global Citizen,” Not for Nothin’ – Dave Holland
“Claire de Lune,” Beyond Standard – Hiromi
“My Favorite Things,” My Favorite Things – John Coltrane
“El Cojo,” Secret Dream – Chévere
“The Suspension Bridge at Iguazu Falls,” TNT – Tortoise
“Seven Steps to Heaven,” Seven Steps to Heaven – Miles Davis
