Smooth Federation: A Star Trek Jazz Album

Post by Dalton »

This may tickle your earholes:

Kickstarter page

I have heard this music on some of the podcasts I listen to, and if you're at all piqued by the idea of jazz rearrangements of classic Star Trek music, you've got to check it out.

Sounds pretty good. Here's the highlight reel they recently put up.
I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season."

Love the jazz rendition of the DS9 theme. The VOY rendition is pretty good, too.

I thought the same thing, those two really stood out to me as good jazz songs.

The TNG-theme, by contrast, sounded terrible -- but it could just be that excerpt.

Just backed it - so far they are about 1500$ short of their goal.

I hope they'll make it.
