Jazz, Blues & Funk, Vol. 1 Album

Ten tracks and nine different idioms — this is the widest album in the series, and it is meant to be used as a toolkit rather than played end to end. Two acid jazz cuts, a blues rock shuffle led by electric guitar, a chill sunset groove, a cool jazz piece carried almost without drums, two jazz beds with no pulse at all, a brass funk workout with a full horn section, and a matched pair of corporate stings at thirty-five and thirty-eight seconds. Nothing here is a variation on anything else. The numbers set out the range: eighty-three beats per minute at the slow end and a hundred and sixty-two at the fast, a spread of seventy-nine, which is the widest on any album released under this name. A hundred and twelve is the only tempo that repeats, and it does so three times. Two tracks have no measurable tempo whatsoever and both sit in C major, so they run back to back without a seam. D minor covers four of the ten. The two stings are the only sub-minute tracks in the set and are deliberately pitched to each other, so one campaign can use both.

All 320 kbps, no vocals, released under CC BY 4.0. Use them for bar and club promos, roadhouse and Americana footage, sunset and travel reels, restaurant service and hotel lounges, corporate video and hold music, parade and sports intros, pre-roll ads and logo stings.
