Afrobeat-Jazz

Jazz and Afrobeat occupy a generous volume of shared space and time in my imagined 4-D Venn diagram of music.  

This playlist originally focused on Afrobeat songs with the "jazziest" of jazz riffs, but rapidly expanded to include any Afrobeat music that struck me as unique, brilliant, suprising, experimental, exciting, etc..  It turns out that's a lot... often entire albums.

I'm still working on the ideal order, here, but I've tried to lead with one song from each artist falling into the above categories.

Fela Kuti is in there, but he's a big fish, and deserves his own playlist!

Apple is my native environment; this playlist is the largest and most reflective of my prevailing advised order for new listeners.

Spotify is a close second for ideal new-listener order

Amazon has the second-largest playlist and is great listening in any order.

I recruited a member to my cult. This is my friend's playlist on Amazon Music.
