Jazz Amnesty Sound System #14

Music has evolved in leaps and bounds over the past hundred years and the harbinger of many of these changes is technology. The invention of the microphone changed music, the ability to amplify sound changed music, the ability to record sound changed music, radio changed music, records changed music, synthesizers changed music, computers changed music, the internet changed music; and all of these things would not have existed without the supreme technological advancement of our age, ELECTRICITY.

This mix is a focus on artists from the 60’s and 70’s that were utilizing electronic instruments and electronic sounds as a major part of their composition and performance. Don’t be fooled, just because machines were incorporated into the music doesn’t mean these tracks aren’t top drawer jazz; only talented musicians taking it to the next level… and it doesn’t hurt that it’s a little funky either.
