Jazz!
[389 byte] By [Roots] at [2007-11-9 14:29:59] 
Doesnt anyone listen to jazz music at all in here? I have noticed that mostly people are sticking to rock type bands, especially classic rock and kiddie punk type crap.. I listen to all kinds of music myself (jazz, electronic, rock, classical, metal), but of all these i enjoy jazz the most.. Anyone else listen to it (oh, and saying "I listen to miles every once in awhile" doesnt count).

I have 29 jazz cd's on my iPod- my entire collection. I'm beyond 'I listen to miles every once in awhile', but my no means an expert.I'm a big fan of Stan Getz' samba/bossa nova music. And I haven't heard any Charles Mingus I haven't liked.
The Jaco Pastorius anthology Punk Jazz is really growing on me too.

Its nice to know there are a few other jazzers in the forums! I have much of the same stuff you have salsa, although I dont like stan kenton (but only after i listened to thier records for quite awhile).. You ever heard of Charler Hunter? If not, I suggest you check him out, Ive been listening to his albums a ton lately..Roots at 2007-11-15 17:36:22 >

I've yet to burn ALL my jazz (and I'm looking for more CDs to buy & burn) but here's what I've got so far:The Bad Plus - These Are The Vistas
Dave Brubeck Quartet - Time Out
Dizzy Gillespie All Star Orchestra - Things To Come
Eddie Daniels - Benny Rides Again
John Coltrane - Blue Train
Miles Davis - Kind of Blue
Stan Getz & Joao Gilberto - Getz/Gilberto
Thelonious Monk - Monk's Dream
don't know if you include blues in here or not, but a couple of Stevie Ray Vaughn, too.

I'm not a Jazz expert by any means, but I have listened to both Stanley Turrentine and Doug Robinson and I like what I hear.dcmacnut at 2007-11-15 17:38:26 >

The Big Bad Jazz Thread (http://www.xsorbit1.com/users/dennx/index.cgi?board=musicexplore&action=display&num=1050542576) exposed the jazz lovers on the old forum and if you read it, I did follow up on the recommendations of Chris(dmt1) and John (eustacescrubb) as posted in this thread (http://ipodlounge.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=3739).Bob at 2007-11-15 17:39:25 >

I'm totally that "I listen to Miles every once in awhile" guy. I really like Miles Davis but haven't invested time and energy into a diverse Jazz collection. I have around 2500+ Cds but only 15-20 of those are Jazz.I would like to get more into real old-skool instrumental Jazz though. I hate that Jazz-Lite garbage!

My husband is not only a Jazz lover but a Jazz Musician. He can tell after listening to a few bars who plays sax on any song... And he recommends anything by George Adams/Don Pullen, Jimmy Carter, David Murray, Lester Bowie or John Scofield...
He has got me to appreciate these folks even tho' I'm a rock chick at heart
:cool:

Check out anything on the ECM record label. This tends to be very contemporary. Some of my favourites include:Officium - Jan Garbarek/The Hilliard Ensemble
Madar - Jan Garbarek/Anouar Brahem/Shaukat Hussain
Making Music - Zakir Hussain
Vision - Shankar
The K?ln Concert - Keith Jarrett
Road To Saint Ives - John Surman
Astrakan Caf? - Anour Brahem Trio
Thimar - Anouar Brahem/John Surman/Dave Holland
Barzakh - Anouar Brahem
A Wider Embrace - Trevor Watts Moir? Music Drum Orchestra
A lot of the music is heavily influenced by World/roots traditions.
Enjoy!
