DJ Rahdu - FlyJazzSounds
from BamaLoveSoul Radio Hosted by DJ Rahdu
I was livestreaming a DJ mix and played 3 John Coltrane flips back to back and began to ponder doing a mix featuring Jazz/Hip Hop hybrids. I decided to challenge myself and only include tracks I've received in 2020. The result is FlyJazzSounds, the 30 minute mix you hear once you press play. Although, inspired by Jazz, the mix is primarily Hip Hop, unlike my Some Jazz series. Sadly, while completing the mix, Jazz critic Stanley Crouch passed away. I admired Crouch for his beautiful writing and intelligence, but largely disagreed with his thoughts on Jazz and especially Hip Hop. He had a really interesting idea that Davey Crockett was the first embodiment of Hip Hop. I'll share the link if I can find it again. RIP Bro Crouch. I'm still livestreaming, and can be found at www.twitch.tv/djrahdu. Please sign up so you can enjoy the mixes every Sunday at 1 30 PM CST. Illustration by #RahduDidIt
