In another thread I was musing that I like Jazz music, but not most Jazz singers, (whom I find are just crooning boring stuff)
Though I like Mark Murphy.
Then I thought what if Jazz worked with some rapper to create a new sort of sound. Especially if the rapper was doing it extemporaneously
If the rapper could 'catch' the Jazz spirit...
I think it could be really exciting
So, does anyone know of such a (successful) blend?
