Two Jazz Songs You Need to Add to your iPod Right Now!

The modern world is rather amazing. You can carry an entire music store in your pocket these days. You can switch from rock to blues to jazz to country and then over the rap as fast as it takes you to thumb through your lists and songs on your iPod. Considering that, we here at b5media and those of us who write for the Music Channel wanted to provide you with a list of songs that we think you need to add to your iPod playlist and that we think you should add TODAY.

As far as I am concerned, and as far as jazz goes, there are two songs that leap to mind. The first is from the notorious Concert of 1964 and is a classic live version from his album “Kind of Blue.” The tune is called “So What” and the way it is played live here will blow you away (and if the player won’t play, you can visit this link).

As for the second song you MUST have, well, there just isn’t any jazz collection that can be complete without Dave Brubeck’s “Take Five.” This comes from one of the greatest jazz albums of all-time “Time Out.” It was the tune that Dave and the rest of the band wasn’t even sure they wanted to put on the album, and then decided to do so at the last minute so their drummer would have a piece that featured him. So, of course, it became the biggest hit.

As for the others in the world of b5media, you should check out their suggestions for tunes you need to add. I am putting their links below:
