  1. This is why I love jazz. This Majesty of the Blues sounds almost like a gospel influenced version and J-Master is so fun to listen to; you never know how he’s going to impress you, but he does it everytime. When I mentioned the “infectious groove” in the take 1 clip, it’s even more evident in take 2. The rhythm section seems as if they just don’t want to let that groove go; it could go on forever.
