I'm part of a number of online listening groups and one which i thought I might share is the Jazz Listening Group
I'm relatively new to jazz so wanted to expand my knowledge hearing from others who love their jazz
I thought that it might be interesting to share what we are listening to and getting your thoughts
Each person puts forward a track and we listen to it and discuss. Not always time to hear everyone's pick but we try to get through as many as possible and the one's not heard go to the top of the list for the next month
Y'know, that was recorded at the 1971 Montreux Jazz Festival just a few months before the casino burned down, which is what inspired "Smoke on the Water" from Deep Purple's Machine Head album, as they'd planned to record in the casino (and had to move to the Grand Hotel there instead).
As for the track itself, it's okay, but I'm not really much of a jazz guy. 🤐

My wife is from a village about an hours train ride from montreux so we’ve been to the town a lot. Right on lac luman. Gorgeous place to visit and if you’re a fan of Queen, there’s a little museum in the casino dedicated to Freddie. Loads of musical heritage in the local area
