On the assumption that most of you don't know Van Morrison's range, I'm posting a song off "Veldon Fleece," an album most of you have never heard of. For those who will indulge me, please listen to the band's setup. It's basically a jazz band. And Van Morrison's voice is another jazz instrument. He does things with his voice that are far beyond what I've ever heard with a rock singer. Maybe a jazz singer?
Let's talk music, no genre boundaries
This is an offshoot of the jazz thread. I and others found that we could not talk about jazz without discussing other musical genres, as well as the philosophy of music. So, this is a thread in which people can suggest good music of all genres, and spout off your feelings about music itself.

You don’t like genre classifications. That’s your prerogative. I don’t mean to come across as hostile but when you continue to make assertions like: "it’s basically a Jazz band", (speaking of Van Morrison), you sound like you’re intentionally trying to jerk peoples’ chains. The fact is, many of us still find genre classifications, in spite of their admitted limitations, useful. Let’s not argue about something not worth arguing about. On another topic, here’s a great example of R. Thompson. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4exilEoExXk And another, with Linda; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HqViJyweNV0

@stuartk I liked both tracks. He’s a great guitarist and she has a beautiful voice. Can you suggest an album for me to stream? |
