Music Friday: "Headin' Home"

As I related in my previous Music Friday post, my daughter is taking up the saxophone, so I've integrated some jazz CDs into my rotation for the car. 

When I dropped her off at school today, this song was playing from Joshua Redman's MoodSwing. 

I'm not usually a fan of jazz that uses an electric bass. I like the traditional stand-up bass, which some jazz musicians call a "dog house." 

But I dig this tune. 

Music Friday: "In the Crease" & "Doctone"

In honor of my daughter wanting to be in band and also choosing the saxophone, I offer one of my favorite jazz musicians who is a sax player. 

He's one the artists that really got me into jazz. He's my gateway jazz artist along with his brother Wynton. The second video also features Joshua Redman.
