Lovely and smooth. really well put together and performed so beautifully

This is a playlist of true Jazz.  Jazz has various characteristics and qualities, and these songs conform to them.  This list is not for songs of other genres posing as Jazz.  No Jazz poser songs.  Only original music is here.  As is proper for this genre, this playlist is curated to a significantly high minimum quality level.

Our entry in this list is slightly Fusionish, but the predominant parts and influence is old Jazz.  This shares characteristics of Jazz "standards" of years past, notably the presence of a "head" and a subsequent instrumental solo that significantly reflects the head, yet is true improvisation.  The majority of songs on this list are Modern Jazz.  In the photograph is one of history's very greatest Jazz musicians regardless of instrument:  John Coltrane.

"Ladies & Gentlemen, Welcome to the Annual General Meeting of the Dark Ocean Society" by Darkk Messiahs is a brooding journey into the depths of dark jazz and beats. Anchored by Sticks Thompson’s commanding drums and Wilt Flowers’ pulsating bass, the track is a rhythm-driven exploration, with Sonny Rhodes’ piano lines weaving elegant motifs through the sonic tapestry. Guy Stansfield’s clarinet and Blue Six’s trumpet add haunting melodies that rise and fall like waves, evoking a mysterious, oceanic atmosphere. This piece blurs the lines between groove and noir, delivering a cinematic experience drenched in shadow.

«'Inner Mountains' is somewhat the imp of a journey towards a higher and innermost place.
These mountains are the urge for exploration... where music can be a dimension of reunion, 
a state of togetherness, and where its own boundaries can always be rewritten.
'Inner Mountains' is an album that explores the idea of digging inward. 
to reach an upwards state through a constant, and not always in agree, dialogue 
of instruments.  It gives us this distinct sense of a mountain not to be risen but to be dug...»

THE URGE IN MOTION

YUKON

There's more in life that we do not experience than that we do. 
But hey, you can't have it all.
Sometimes that's for the better.

[Rough English translation]
YOU CAN'T HAVE IT ALL
In the past i didn’t want to miss anything
Was eager to join in all things fun
If I had to choose, I could not decide
I’d rather divided myself in two 

For football, parties, music and friends
a week was really too short
when she fell in love with another
it only really dawned on me

You can’t have it all

Now so many years have passed
I see many people with a cross to bear
Who are suffering or have severly suffered
people without a future, without a home

because of illness, distress, violence and loss
they’re broken, tired out 
for us, my love, I praise the day
for us, my love, I speak of happiness

You can’t have it all

Still, i want my life to be in the fast lane 
Sure, that’s how i’m gonna do it
but without risking life and limb
and with guaranteed pension

You can’t have it all
