There is quite literally an infinite supply of unheard musical treasures of the past to dig for, discover, love and to share. Here’s fourteen highly spirited grooves from the wide world of Jazz, 1967-1984. It’s been quite some time since last I shared one of these, and the gems have been piling up. Although the bulk of my selection originates from the West, many of the tunes are inspired by various folk traditions of the East. As often before, I might add. I’ve always had a soft spot for musical fusions of this sort. It never fails to lift my spirits -Moahaha

-also while collecting all these links, I noticed I had used Harold Mabern - Alex the Great for both Sunspots & Ten Portals...! Which is why I'm offering Paz - The Buddha as its replacement for the latter mix. Just click on the image underneath and download the song. You'll find the edited cover art attached to the mp3-file (download button on the left).
