Musing about musical genres, the thought occurs that while evolution in the last few decades has produced folk rock, country rock, jazz rock, jazz funk etc, there hasn’t been jazz folk.
At first sight, not a very promising concept, some would say. At first listen they would probably say much the same thing. Or worse.
But it’s got novelty. And it fills a gap. If you were a hammer dulcimer player with a penchant for extended improvisation, what outlet would exist for you at present?
Other sub-genres would be likely to evolve. Folk-funk, for instance. Imagine a grooving 45-minute interpretation of The Barnyards of Delgaty.
An enticing prospect.
