Celestial Blues

I don't listen to enough Jazz type stuff. I'd love to but time spent on other genres restricts me being able to, and its a shame because I bet there is absolutely loads of it I would absolutely love.

I remember being put onto this by a friend of mine last year, and since then I think I have made sure to set aside 8 minutes and listen to it at least once a week, probably more. Its the definition of music sounding GLORIOUS.

Theres a comment on the video of this track on Youtube by a user called tizzy8031 which sums up my feelings on the track perfectly;
''This is one the funkiest, sweet sounding, moving tracks I've ever heard. The message is so positive and uplifting it just has to be heard. Also, the fact that the Sax is so in unison with the lyrics and also gives a message itself, its as though, within the call and response, the Sax is agreeing with and is enhancing the lyrical content to the point where it is saying a lot more than the voice. Total and utter pure ingenious music.''

Listen, and you will hear that its very hard to argue with tizzy's point.
