MOODY JAZZ TO THINK BY...

VA - Contemplation, Moody Jazz Masterpieces (A Butterboy Compilation) CD1+CD2+CD3        

REPOST

Whilst in the life of the intellect 'contemplation' refers to thinking profoundly about something, in the religious life contemplation is a kind of inner vision or seeing, transcendent of the intellect, facilitated by means of practices such as prayer or meditation. In music, it's about that quality that makes you listen with intent and evokes a kind of thoughtfulness around its musical phrasings. Jazz music is very good at making you think about what might be next.

Presented here are 60 tracks that reflects jazz music that is typically slow, moody, brooding and thoughtful. I find this type of jazz, meditative, contemplative and thought provoking. The music itself has a storytelling component that is made illustrative through the masterful use of sounds that draws you to think about the music being weaved into your mind. Many of these tune's transport one to some gloomy, desolate, and dimly lit lounge, well after midnight. We contemplate what is being said by the language and phrasing that these improvisational, free-form jazz master's use. Then you get it! It is hard to describe, but you will know it when you hear it... And you will think of the future.

Listen thoughtfully, think deeply about what you will hear. Let the nature of this music open your mind and heart.
