Jazz Apreciation

Recommended Posts

Jazz is one of those genres which I would love to listen to and know about but I just find it really hard to get into because it's so overwhelming.

 

 

 

I can definitely appreciate jazz music though, but personally I prefer the blues.

Wow, thats awesome because people these days only listen to rap and pop which rives me crazy.

 

Both modern and old musicians are good, even if theyre dead.(even if they died from drug abuse :shock: ) I like JJ johnson because i play Trombone myself.

 

 

 

Its a shame most jazz musicians cant get a real job even though they have more musical talent than most (i mean all) rap.pop artists.

Starting to get into it more now. And it's really good. Need to take some time to get into it though, because there's so much. So I'm just randomly buying stuff here and there to figure it out a bit.

Even though he was a blues artist, I was listening to some Stevie Ray Vaughn the other night on the radio. My god could that bloke play the guitar. He's does a mean version of voodo chile by Hendrix too. Man, that's what I call music.

I don't follow the genre but certainly appreciate it, even studied how to record and master it :)

 

One of my friends was watching glastonbury on bbci at the weekend and said "yeah, past midnight it was just all this boring jazz [cabbage]." We got into one hell of an arguement...hahah

I love jazz and i am going to major in jazz piano and guitar in college. How cool is that. I like playing it better than listening. And already being a professional musician at age 15 (weddings) can realy bring in some money.

98% Of teenagers surround their minds with rap music, if you're part of the 2% that stayed with rock, put this in your signature, ROCK IS BETTER!

Oh god yeah, he's bloody awesome with a guitar, such flair and talent it's staggering. A great, great blues musician as well.

 

 

 

Anyway, back on to jazz, as someone who likes Miles Davis, where would I go from there?

I listen to their online radio a lot when doing homework (or use it as background music during 'private' moments), and their listening loft is a great source for new music. The only jazz album I own physically is Koop Island Blues by Koop, although that's more of a jazz fusion album.

CHarles Mingus, John Coltrane, Wayne Shorter. :) And it hasn't got much to do musically with Miles Davis but you should check out Weather Report as well. Some of the members have played together with Miles on various albums, so there is a link. And check out Jaco Pastorius' solo work, he's exceptionally skilled. And I can't state this enough. Get Steely Dan - Aja. And Donald [bleep]en - The Nightfly, if you haven't already.

 

 

 

And it's good to see some Steve Gadd appreciation on here. :)

Recently Wynton Marselous (dont know how to spell it :cry: ) was in my town and i could of seen it half off but i was too busy.

 

I still like JJ and i like the John Coltrane album Blue Train. Its even fun to play Blue Train and solo on it.

Thanks for the recommendations :) I was looking at John Coltrane already, he'd been recommended to me before, and i'll definitely check out those two albums you've suggested.

The greatest sax player of all time was obviously Charlie Parker....

 

 

 

He is considered the 2nd greatest improvisor of all time, next to art tatum
