Well, according to a couple of posts that came through, I seem to have
missed the show, darn it!
Well, then I want to learn much more! The idioms listed were as follows:
From previous post:
"It was. Acid Jazz is dead. But its spirit lives on in several genres:
neo-soul,
broken-beat,
deep house,
drum n bass,
dancehall,
downtempo,
2-step garage,
"jam band" music,
underground hip-hop,
etc."
If someone on this list would be kind enough to point me towards sources of
recorings, mp3's. etc. where I can study and learn about these styles, I'd
be most grateful. I must admit to being rather perplexed about all of these
genres! Where did they come from? What traditions are they based on? Or, are
they completely new inventions? You get my drift.
Man, in music school and in working as a free-lance pro in the Chicago area,
I've studied, trad jazz, dixieland, cool jazz, be-bop, post bop, fusion,
neo-classical be-bop, etc (along with various pop/rock horn styles for my
jobbing work). However it seems I've blinked in a big way and missed the
development of a rather complex set of new jazz spin-off genres. I would
really appreciate your advice here.
Thanks in advance.
