The Real Enjoyment of Jazz: Recent Episodes

Mike Winn

http://therealenjoymentofjazz.com

As we all know jazz is a very very broad category but The Real Enjoyment Of Jazz focuses on what I'd describe as 'mainstream jazz'......having just said that 'mainstream' sounds quite dull and boring doesn't it?.....and The Real Enjoyment Of Jazz is anything but that.

Maybe the easiest way of describing the show's content (apart from listening and enjoying the show first hand which is by FAR the best way!!) is to tell what its NOT ....... I exclude early boogie woogie.....in fact I exclude the 20's and 30's (almost) completely and there's precious little from the 40's...........I exclude atonal avant garde jazz......I exclude 'elevator' music/muzak...............so what does that leave? .....simply the very best melodic jazz by the greatest artists who've ever graced a recording studio or stage.
