If this stuff is called Jazz it's ok with me and I'll call it jazz in my database. But in my mind it's rock. I just listened to James Blood Ulmer's Odyssey. That's really a great record - I'm going to have to spend more time on spotify with more of his records.
Thanks for the suggestions.

Genre designations just suck.
One of the most... outre...jazz... respected cornet players, Olu Dara has played
on MANY, MANY dates for decades and his two "solo" titles (under his own name)
owe little to jazz as we know it but LOTS to great American music. Not only that
but his son, Nas, is a well respected and talented rapper.
There's SO MUCH great music that falls between the genre cracks...

I've been checking him out on Spotify. There are 2 James Blood Ulmer disks on the way from eBay - and 3 more of his in my want list que with 5 Miles Davis 70s era disks. Found a nice copy of Seize the Rainbow and it arrived from Germany today - can't wait to give it a listen when the boss goes out tomorrow am.
You link didn't work but I spend some time checking out your recommended artist on youtube. Tasty!

Labels all get fuzzy at the fringes, but to me jazz is a process not a thing, and to me Blood fits under that rubric. "Odyssey" is one of my favorite records, and I got to hear Blood with his Odyssey Trio this past summer at the Vision Festival in NYC.
I once had a girlfriend who would take all her clothes off and dance to "Jazz Is The Teacher (Funk Is The Preacher)".....
I came to think highly of that track.....
