Jazz and funk blogs
I’ve updated (and re-dated) this post and because the list is really now quite long. It’s for your own good really - there’s just so much great stuff available. So much to listen to, so little time…. (15/12/2009)
Long time, no post… After a bit of a break (no excuse other than enjoying the summer) thought it was time to get on the wagon again - hope you are all doing fine!
OK, so it’s not a transcription, but I wanted to share with you three of my favourite music blogs that offer a treasure trove of rare and top quality jazz and jazz-funk grooves for your listening pleasure.
