Hi guys!
I know that morphine is not really a jazz band but I think that for their particular smokey,nocturnal and sensual astmosphere,would be a shame not to include them ... for me "low rock" is certainly jazz-related...what do you think?

Repetitive constructions - sounds as soft Nirvana version with baritone sax Smile

. Not very related with jazz (IMHO no relation at all) Confused

Probably not very close relatives of jazz Smile

but try to listen to all their records...you might also like perhaps more than you think!
"The night" and "Yes" contain really beautiful songs.
(Those live videos don't represent well their music)

I always listen to more than the posted videos when doing an evaluation so I will check out more of their music. I know some people who are into the jam band scene like these guys, so I will check them out in detail.
