Looking for an unknown Jazz artist - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Last year I heard this amazing jazz/rap/R'n'B kind of song as I was driving in my car, but when I got home I had forgotten the name of the artist/band. I've been searching for them ever since: I've tried contacting the radio station (no luck there) and I've been using google to track them down because I remember a piece of the lyric which goes like this:

"If you'll be my croutching tiger, I'll be your hidden dragon"

I think the guy on the radio said that they were German (But I'm NOT sure!) and that he thought it should be nominated as the best jazz album of that year (2002-2003) because it was that good in his opinion. Oh and by the way: the lead singer is female if that helps anyone?!

So can you guys help me please?!

What kind of radio station was playing the song? Also, you spelled "crouching" wrong. I tried too google it but I didn't come up with anything either, sorry.

Ouchy.

Not familiar with that one. DJ said it was jazz, huh? Interesting. And I know it doesn't help help when bands from foreign countries sing in English. Sheesh!

Okay, here are some ways to try to locate it:

1) Do you live near a major metropolitan area? If so, head down to Tower Records or Virgin Records and start asking questions of the people in the jazz section about it. If that doesn't work, try your local CD place. If something is rated that good by a DJ, chances are somebody else has heard it and thinks the same. People at music stores are highlly underrated. I've been able to locate things I would have never thought possible just because of some sharp soul behind the counter.

2) Next, hit the Internet. I'll bet you have, but use more than one Search engine. I love Google, but I've found that search engines are tuned for different things. I find that the engine at Excite is a little better at finding music and audio gear than most. Also, try something like Dogpile.com for another engine.

3) When you search, include something like "song lyrics jazz be my crouching tiger" or something similar. Tune it and maybe you'll find it. Heck, I've even run into lyrics for Japanese pop music online, so somebody might have it.

Sure wish I had your answer. If you do find it, please let us all know!

nash: the radio station was "DR Jazz" - I live in Denmark so I don't think that'll give you the possibility to help me further, hehe

But maybe i should try and contact the radio station once more, maybe they keep a record on their playlist from every show they've done? And I think I'll try and google it once more...

Thank you for your efforts guys!

I've posted the same topic on TWO Jazz forums for fanatic jazz fans ONLY. You'd think that they'd know this song, right? But no luck so far... Sheesh!

so the good jazz fanatics really came through after all in the Vancouverjazz.com forum site:

the song is called Keep Falling by Jazzanova feat. Ursula Rucker (taken from the album "inbetween") If you like R'n'B Jazz then you should check out the song or the entire album
