A while back, I made a mashup of many different versions of “Nature Boy”, one of the loveliest and weirdest jazz standards. Every so often I go back and add new versions to it. Here’s the latest update.
I added Jon Hassell’s recording of the tune over the beat from “B Boys Will B Boys” by Mos Def and Talib Kweli, and did some other general tightening up. Enjoy!
Thank you so much for this! It led me to read about the Nat King Cole recording and then eden ahbez. Then I read your original post about the song and ahbez. Fascinating! Thank you for this scholarship and creativity; it helps me understand the music better.~ Desi
A long-form listen, but I enjoyed that mashup.
Hi Ethan–Hope you’re well. A question: Overall, how would you evaluate the musical quality of Taylor Swift’s songs? Thx. David
