William's Song a Day Blog - est. September 2007

From: Jazz in 3/4 Time ; Year: 1957; Genre: Hard Bop Jazz/Blues I wanted to listen to some jazz from my favourite era: which is around the mid 50s or so. Max Roach has always been a jazz composer and player that I like to listen to a lot. It's really fun to hear some jazzed-up blues in a waltz time. Hear Blues Waltz on YouTube. My song pick 1 year ago today: David Bowie - After All My song pick 2 years ago today: Asia - Never in a Million Years My song pick 3 years ago today: Duran Duran - My Own Way My song pick 4 years ago today: The Doors - Break on Through (To the Other Side) My song pick 5 years ago today: Megadeth - Seven My song pick 6 years ago today: Stratovarius - Under Flaming Skies My song pick 7 years ago today: Genesis - A Winter's Tale My song pick 8 years ago today: Chet Atkins - Drive In My song pick 9 years ago today: Letzte Instanz - Für Immer Und Ewig My song pick 10 years ago today: Ian Anderson - A Raft of Penguins My son

From: Journey ; Year: 1975; Genre: Progressive Rock This is an awesome instrumental from Journey, (which I believe is named after the comet that passed by Earth a couple years prior), but it's really not the Journey you'd think of normally. In these, the early years, they were far more jazz/progressive rock in sound. I, personally really like this era of the band, it's so different and so much more virtuosity and technicality put into the music. Hear Kohoutek on YouTube.

From: Club Ninja ; Year: 1985; Genre: Rock I absolutely love the music to this one, but the lyrics in my opinion have just a modicum of something to be desired. The lyrics aren't bad or anything like that, it just can to me feel like it could be used as a commercial for bottled water, but other than that I like this track. Hear Perfect Water on YouTube.
