True. Most of the "acid jazz" that I listen to sounds more like house than jazz.

Where did you club when you were in the area?

Fantasy/Paradox was the place for house music on Saturday nights.

Odell's was it on Friday nights.

and I think anything else you had to travel north to NYC

One thing I loved about both was that you didnt have to go thru the pretense of 'dressing up' in slacks, dress shoes, shirt and tie just to meet some women...you could just go comfortably because guaranteed you was coming out at 4,5 or 6 am drenched.

You know, now that i think about it...my best friend met his wife there....HAHAHAH!

.......and our other friend met ONE of his babymommas there too...heh!
My bad, I'm just now seeing this.

I never went out to any house clubs while in MD/DC or Chicago.

I did, however, find one of my old URB magazines with a history of Chicago House. Many of the artists in the issue are artists that you and AKA_Monet mentioned, so I'll def be making an effort to check them out now.

Anyone else hear of/listen to the Verve Remixed Series? It takes older jazz/blues singers (Ella Fitzgerald, Nina Simone, etc) and remixes the songs with house and downtempo beats.

^^^ I tried trance a while ago, but could never get into it. I only remember liking one song, but this was back when mp3.com sent out free CDs. I haven't heard anything enjoyable since then.

Yes I agree. However, I meant that from more of an approach to the music, rather the end result. Turbalists comparing themeselves to improv musicians of the 50's and 60's, both groups envisisioning themselves on their respective instruments/equipment untill oldage and finally death prevent them.


plus, both house and jazz seem to be music for musicians. I don't know If i'd appreciate either one of them as much as I do if I didn't also play music.

I like some of the Britney Spears trance music. There are a ton of trance mixed music CDs for sale.

*bump*

I've had Lisa Shaw's new joint for a minute, but have never listened to it. I just popped it in today, and she reminded me why I love her music
