RIBS JSOB: Sammy, Bobby and Aretha…

After all of the uptempo, funky stuff of the last couple of weeks, I was in the mood for a little change of pace. This week the mix is one of my “JSOB” mixes, in case you’ve forgotten that’s “Jazz with a Side Order of Blues”. I had started doing these a few months ago and releasing them on Tuesdays but haven’t done one in quite a while. Well, I’m bringing it back but on Thursdays this time to keep everything “under the same roof” so to speak.

So, today let’s munch on some Jazz with healthy helping on Blues on the side courtesy of…

  1. Sammy Davis, Jr
  2. Bobby “Blue” Bland
  3. Aretha Franklin

RIBS JSOB: Stanley, Koko and ZZ…

Mix number four in our “Jazz with a Side Order of Blues” (JSOB) series is now ready to satiate your Jazz/Blues hunger pains. Remember, JSOB comes your way every two weeks on Tuesdays.

I have to admit, I’m really enjoying this series and creating these mixes. It really allows (i.e. forces) me to delve much more deeply into a genre of music (Blues) that I have always enjoyed but, unlike Funk or Soul/RnB, was not as familiar with as I would have liked to (or should have) been.

Today we feature one of the masters of my favorite Jazz instrument: the saxophone, along with the woman who is billed as the “Queen of the Blues”, and a man who was an instrumental part of the “back to the Blues” movement in the early 80’s (especially with the work he did for Malaco Records). This week we present to you the JSOB mix number four with:

  1. Stanley Turrentine
  2. Koko Taylor
  3. ZZ Hill

RIBS JSOB: Miles, Wes and B.B.

February 5, 2008 by tgrundy · 7 Comments
Filed under: JSOB, RIBS, blues, jazz, music, podcasts/mixes 

Welcome to the debut mix of the latest feature here at Rhythms In Black Satin. We’re calling this one RIBS JSOBJazz with a Side Order of Blues. Every other week on Tuesdays RIBS JSOB will explore a combination of some of our favorite Jazz and Blues artists.

The format will be similar to our regular, weekly Triple Play Thurs-Day mix (which of course we will continue to bring you each and every Thursday) as we select three artists from the world of Jazz and Blues and cook up a smooth mix of sound for your listening pleasure. Sometimes we’ll do 2 Jazz and 1 Blues artist, at other times we may change it around and do 1 Jazz and 2 Blues artists. Who knows as things develop the format may change into something completely different. But you can bet it will always be enjoyable in a “grown & sexy” kind of way! {smile}

So… as we set up our first Jazz w/Side Order of Blues buffet table we break out three giants of any of music (regardless of genre), the master of the Jazz trumpet, the master of the Jazz guitar and his royal majesty, the king of the Blues. This week we present to you the initial JSOB mix with:

  1. Miles Davis
  2. Wes Montgomery
  3. B.B. King
