She doesn’t need any sheet music to play it. She has it recorded by heart in her heart. Stunning. One of her best songs ever!

[@lisac5193]

why don't we have music like this any more? so sad...

[@jeffisso]

Because the music industry isn't interested in Music or art. They are more interested in sales and the bottom line.

[@lisac5193]

So true. Money speaks louder than true art(ist) we loved and grew up with. I can't remember when I last listened to anything other than the classics.

[@franklinboersma3276]

she gave me a hug when i told her jazzman was my favorite song on an early morning in ketchum,id in 1978. she's one of the many reasons i write and sing on you tube❤

[@michaelanderson5975]

Words cannot express what this song means to be as a young kid growing up in a jazz family my dad played saxophone and Alto this was truly the first song that I really felt music internally I was probably 8 or 9 years old but it hit me and it has never left since this is my first time seeing this video and it's very emotional the whole coming together of her voice and of course the alto solo my God and Carole King thank you for this kind of music it never gets old it's a great representation of a real band enjoying what they're doing you can see the expressions and the looks she gives the alto player as they go through the song this is it 🙏👍💪🌹🎼🇺🇲

I merely was saying I’ve read and listened to all his interviews he never brings this up. He was always thought of in the highest regard by everyone in the music business. It’s interesting that on any or all posts about goffin people don’t chime in with ( oh what about king) it’s true dear friend through out the music industry the one who performs is usually the one with more attention ,,,,however in this case king always shunned the spot light and rarely granted an interview.

It's music like this that makes it so hard to listen to the radio today - listening to the mindless earworms that Taylor Swift pukes out proves that true talent like Carole's is above most people. Those of us who appreciate talent like this should be proud.

[@stephenbarry1539]

42 years ago... "Jazzman" is an August 1974 song performed by Carole King, from her album Wrap Around Joy. King provided the sheet music for the song, while David Palmer (formerly of Steely Dan) wrote the lyrics. The song is best known for its lengthy saxophone solos, performed by Tom Scott, while King sings an ode to "the Jazzman" and the effect he has on her. Curtis Amy, saxophonist, composer, and former musical director for the Ray Charles band, was the "jazz man" of the song.[citation needed]

[@philtangerine]

Thanks for your comment. I had no idea of all the ingredients that went into this wonderful track. David Palmer huh...never knew....now that I do know, it sounds like a track right off of Can't Buy A Thrill...Never Going Back To My Old School has a similar vibe...thanks again!
