If It's Jazz - Post It !

yeah it is amazing to know how many truly talented people are out there.
i don't need video clips though. they distract me.
but jazz i guess is not really an emotional thing. it is more a mental thing.
but her song does have emotional content i am sure (even though i am blind to it i do see the notes and think "I could never come up with that")
but i don't want to listen to music in a competitive way. i like to allow it to absorb me, but invariably i start thinking of what i would play to it.
bad me. robot me.
i like gospel stuff because i just do. here is another tune i made up. the drums are programmed by me, and i reserve one track always for playing bass.

so, someone who i discovered who is not famous.
bernie worrell.

i will post 3 clips.
the first clip is to show he is not a natural vocal communicator.

there is a guy called bootsy collins who looks quite sinister with his gold tooth ans everything, but he asked bernie to play a bit of stuff in one of his songs in a concert.

well bernie worrel just dominated the show.
everyone on stage had to just cringe at their inability to match his genius.
anyway....

Thread has fallen too far.

well i do not think this is able to be categorized, but it obeys the rules of jazz, and i had no thought to the genre when i composed and played it.
