? What Jazz Music Selection are you Listening to in the Now? | Analog, Digital ??????

I must have close to 1/2 doz jazz takes on the Aranjuez, never mind straight orchestral versions. Never get tired of it. I'm a big
Villa-Lobos fan anyways. Listen to the Choros and Brasilieras often.

Not jazz, but harp & orchestra makes for a great version of Concerto de Aranjuez...you may already have these two?

It's a Chick Corea staple. He has two versions on the Rendez Vouz in NYC SACD. Love the duet with Rubalcaba.
 
Harp adds a nice variation to this:


Totally agree! I discovered this a number of years ago, and really like it a lot.

jazz (j?z)

a. A style of music, native to America, characterized by a strong but flexible rhythmic understructure with solo and ensemble improvisations on basic tunes and chord patterns and, more recently, a highly sophisticated harmonic idiom.

Brazil is America, the southern one.

I suppose the word Jazz is misused, just as Classical has come to mean most anything performed by an orchestra.
