June 23, 200719 yr I like some Miles Davis, Art Blakey, Herbie Hancock... A good jazz drummer's Max Roach. It really has
June 23, 200719 yr I definately appreciate the genre. Craps all over 99% of the [cabbage] you hear on the radio. I feel a similar way about blues. Great stuff. Reccomend any Jazz artists be they modern or old?
June 23, 200719 yr 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. "Da mihi castitatem et continentam, sed noli modo"
June 23, 200719 yr Author 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.
June 23, 200719 yr 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. Signature by Maurice SendakWhen the stars make you drool just like a pasta fazool, that's amore!
June 26, 200719 yr Author I find it easier to listen than other stuff. You can actually hear the structure of it and the significance. Overwhelming would be like Maynard Ferguson or crappy metal bands yelling random stuff and playing really loud.
June 28, 200719 yr My fav type of genre :) I hate new jazz, my favorite jazz classics come from 1920's to the 1950's.. from swing, dixieland, and bebop Amazing musicians to check out.. Charlie Parker - Sax Dizzie Gilepsie Art Tatum - The most amazing musican to walk this planet Oscar Peterson - Amazing pianist Buddy Rich - Drums Max Roach Bill Taylor Fats Waller :) - Only character in Runescape History maxed out in RSC and RS2
June 28, 200719 yr 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.
June 28, 200719 yr 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
June 28, 200719 yr There was a Jazz feast down here in Wilmington, DE. It went on for 5-6 days, and they were AMAZING! I love playin jazz (I play the set) cause it's so free and open to whatever you feel like playin.
July 1, 200719 yr 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!
July 1, 200719 yr 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. 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? "Da mihi castitatem et continentam, sed noli modo"
July 1, 200719 yr http://smoothjazz.com/ 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.

July 2, 200719 yr If I do say so myself, I play a wicked sax, And one of my favorite songs is called Blues its a contimplation by Illinois Jacquet, J.J. Johnson, JATP, Les Paul, and Nat King Cole.
July 2, 200719 yr I don't really think I have good taste it Jazz, but I really like Kind of Blue and [bleep]es Brew. I also really like Chick Corea. Steve Gadd is one of the best jazz fusion drummers alive. Back to P2p soon!
July 3, 200719 yr Anyway, back on to jazz, as someone who likes Miles Davis, where would I go from there? 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. :) Signature by Maurice SendakWhen the stars make you drool just like a pasta fazool, that's amore!
July 7, 200719 yr Author 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.
