What I'm Listening To - Adventures in Jack's Record Collection (Hubert Laws, Ronnie Laws, and the Brecker Brothers)

Hey Readers,

This week I went through my record collection and pulled out some gems.  I'm a sucker for jazz and funk music, so when I found these artists, I was overjoyed.  I found two sets of brothers.  The Brecker Brothers are an incredible duo of jazz musicians I just can't put down.  I also found an album by Hubert Laws and one by Ronnie Laws.  I thought they might be brothers, but just looked into it, and they are.  Born and raised in Houston, Texas, older brother Hubert and younger brother Ronnie have made huge ground in the genre of jazz.  Here are some samples of their music for your listening pleasure:

Well thank you for listening!  I really love to share what I'm listening to and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!  Thanks for reading The Jack Barton Blog and have a nice day!
