Freedom!

Well, school's out for the summer. Now that I'm no longer constrained by schoolwork, I will be posting much more frequently than I have been lately. With that said, here's my first post of the summer. With the last four posts being about international rock and metal acts, it's high time for a change. I want this blog to have something for EVERYONE, not just rockers and headbangers. With that in mind, here's some jazz.

Unlike everything else I've posted so far, this is actually a compilation album and not the work of one specific artist. I like that with jazz. Compilations keep things fresh. This album is a collection of ten songs from artists signed to Blue Canoe Records, an indie jazz label outside of Atlanta, Georgia. It's a nice mix of youthful and seasoned jazz, with no weird crap thrown in to dilute it. As you may have noticed, I listen to some strange stuff from time to time (Diablo Swing Orchestra, for example). Thankfully, there are no surprises of that sort to be found here. It's just straightforward jazz, free of charge thanks to Blue Canoe Records. It's worth noting however that this is not the entire album. Two of the twelve original tracks have been omitted in the free download I've linked here, but it's still worth downloading the remaining ten. Even if you don't call yourself a fan of jazz, you should give this a shot anyways. The main reason I run this blog, after all, is to help people expand their horizons. If I didn't stretch your musical comfort-zone, I wouldn't be doing my self-appointed job, now would I?
