from low light mixes · host Low Light Mixes
No pretense of ambience in this mix, just straight forward jazz. I came across an interesting list here... Quintessential Jazz Songs. The Jazz 100 is a list compiled by listeners of jazz24.org & NPR Music. It's kinda fun to read some of the comments because the listeners get very passionate about the list. Much of the list is very recognizable & some of the tracks I'd never heard before, so it was great to dig in & discover music I probably should have known about for a long time. So this mix is just a quick compilation of just a few tracks from the list, with the exception of the Paul Desmond tune(it just worked perfectly following Take 5 with Take Ten). Even though this deviates from from the usual ambient I hope you enjoy it nonetheless. T R A C K L I S T : 00:00 Miles Davis - So What 09:20 Ahmad Jamal - Poinciana(the song of the tree) 13:33 Duke Ellington & John Coltrane - In a Sentmental Mood 17:40 Lee Morgan - The Sidewinder 27:44 Dave Brubeck - Take 5 32:57 Paul Desmond - Take Ten 36:00 Stan Getz & Joao Gilberto - The Girl from Ipanema 41:05 Oliver Nelson - Stolen Moments 49:32 Wayne Shorter - Footprints 54:57 Bill Evans - Waltz for Debbie 01:53 end
