Daily Jam - Red Eye Special

I like jazz, but have to admit that i am very much a novice when it comes to the appreciation there of.  I'll see people divide it up into a thousand different subgenres (kinda like metal), and i don't understand any of that.  But i still like it.  So here's a piece from pianist Hal Galper in whatever subgenre of the art it might be.  Listen to "Red Eye Special" below, our Daily Jam.

Found Vinyl: Hal Galper - Now Hear This

I wish i knew more about jazz.  It just fascinates me.  Every aspect of it.  Every genre and sub-genre therein.  The history, the spontaneity, just the overall essence of the music.  It's transcendent.  It's remarkable.  And i'd be a liar if i said i understood the first thing about it.  So, i will not critique.  I know nothing.  I will just sit back, listen to, and enjoy Hal Galper's 1977 album "Now Hear This."  We'll start with "First Song in the Day."



And here's the title track.



And finally, we'll finish with "Red Eye Special."



Go and listen to some jazz music right now.  I swear it makes you smarter...or at least it will make you think you're smarter.
