Blues/Jazz Must Haves

[lifele55]

I need some new songs or band recommendations far from what I'm listening day in, day out. Having the "I'm-bored-and-sick-of-playing-guitar-syndrome" and need to listen/play to other genres to 'calm down'.

Any recommends guys? A few must haves in your playlist perhaps? Tracks with killer licks or stuff like that.

Local blues is very good!

I've got two tracks which feature singaporean blues guitar god, John Chee. His playing, together with Jeanne French's vocals, is way awesome.

For blues, u gotta listen to the 3 Kings - BB King, Freddie King and Albert King.
Superb vocals and guitar playing. Any of their live albums would be pretty killer stuff.

Buy a Bossa Nova compilation, listen to the smooth sound of the guitars that are just as raw as rock.
