Yes. Very yes. |
Infamous Scribbler  Posts: 617 Joined: 1 Apr 2009     | Count Basie is a good 'un. Miles Davis, Duke Ellington, generally latin jazz and benny goodman are all favorites of mine. |

Advice for anyone thinking "I want to get into jazz" 1. Sun Ra - google it - he's the man |
Pulitzer Laureate  Posts: 952 Joined: 9 Aug 2009    | I get into Koop, it's jazz made from sampling instruments etc. Sounds good though. Also Quantic/Quantic Soul Orchestra. |
Pulitzer Laureate  Posts: 906 Joined: 4 Jun 2009    | Wes Montgomery, great jazz guitarist. Get "The Incredible Jazz Guitar of Wes Montgomery", it's my very favorite jazz album. |

I meant to listen to, not as a career choice, I have no musical talent whatsoever. :P
Looked them up, not really my thing, I suppose that's not my type of jazz.
Eh...again not my thing really, I like energetic jazz with a lot of fiddle, god I love a good fiddle player.
Something about their songs is so relaxing, I like them. :) |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1841 Joined: 22 Apr 2008  | Big Bad VooDoo Daddy isn't bad. Count Basie is another good one. |
Anonymous Source Posts: 3 Joined: 12 Jul 2008 | If you're into Django. Try "Hot Club of Cowtown" or "Bela Fleck and and Flecktones" I'm really into some of the more modern synth stuff too like "Yellowjackets" (yeah 80's not really modern) and "Turning Point". |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 2426 Joined: 22 Jun 2009   | Listen to some jazzcore. Yes, it actually exists, and yes, it is awesome. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 2021 Joined: 13 Jan 2009    | Here ya go. It's in 5/4 time signature. |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 2750 Joined: 14 Nov 2007 |
That's a relief. It means that you're safe from ruining your life. Anyway if you're already listening to Django then it's all pretty downhill from there I'm afraid. Jazz got worse and worse, crawling further up its own ass as it went along. Although there is a new retro jazz movement happening right now that is all about jazz back before it started sucking. Hot Club Of Cowtown is one of the best of these new groups. |
Muckraker  Posts: 242 Joined: 15 Dec 2008   | I've been slowly getting into some jazz fusion if that counts Edit: didn't notice the second part |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 3346 Joined: 24 Aug 2009 |
I'm familiar with that song and it shall be promptly added to my playlist, I thank you. NO idea what a time signature is. :P
I was totally ready to be blown away when the "Core" part of the song came in halfway and fucked up the song with a general noisy clusterfuck.
Very interesting, I may grow to like him. Strange music video. |

Yeah. Fun fact: Derek Trucks toured with the Allman Brothers for over a decade, and is now an official member of the band. |
Infamous Scribbler  Posts: 674 Joined: 5 Mar 2008    | Do a Wikipedia search for all the classics. If they're classic, they're good (you may not like them, but they're still good). Now, there are a few people/groups/genres that I would like to bring to your attention. 2. Acid Jazz. Groove Collective. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dY3lQ3TtZoI I realized upon hearing "Sigh" that I love the things that go beyond standard jazz. |

I like "Candela" the rest just seems like generic hispanic folk music. :/
Reminds me a lot of techno, again not really my cup o' tea, seems I'm impossible to please. Not too bad though. |

Fiddle? You sure you're not after bluegrass? |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 3346 Joined: 24 Aug 2009 |
Well the fiddle player in Django's band is terrific (He makes the band I think) and he isn't considered bluegrass is he? He is also a great guitar player and the trumpet player isn't half bad, so it's not just the fiddle player. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 3539 Joined: 24 Jul 2009   | Keiko Matsui. Smooth jazz. Some of the most beautiful music I've ever heard. |
Pulitzer Laureate  Posts: 962 Joined: 11 Aug 2008   |
I play that in my Jazz band, although its slightly different Trombone for the win |
Beat Writer  Posts: 218 Joined: 16 Mar 2009   | One of my favorites is Cab Calloway especially "Minne the Moocher" and "Refer Man". Also Coltrane, it seems everyone loves him |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 1234 Joined: 29 Jan 2009 |
Yeah, I'm a bit of a purist, but it looks like there's a lot of good artists/groups being thrown around on this thread. Hope you find some more to listen to. |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 3346 Joined: 24 Aug 2009 |
"Minne" is good, but it gets on my nerves sometimes. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I should also mention that I like "Midnight the stars and you" by Ray Noble and "Sitting on top of the World" by Al Jolson but I've yet to find any other good songs by them. EDIT: And I also like "Anything Goes" by Cole Porter. |

He's hackin' and wackin' and smackin' |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 3346 Joined: 24 Aug 2009 |
That song was so weird! I love the Ink Spots too, thanks to Fallout 3, and I sort of like Bing Crosby as well. |
Muckraker Posts: 275 Joined: 19 Nov 2007 | Yeah turns out pete was a murderer and after the 500th or so time hearing that song I started to see how he could do it. lol. |
Paperboy  Posts: 42 Joined: 3 Dec 2008   | Depends on what kinda era you're really into. Charlie Parker (Alto Sax) I'm sure people have already mentioned these but hey. Some newer guys: Uri Caine (Piano) Arrghh there's so much, I would end up going forever if I kept putting the ones that came into my head. Pretty much everyone I've put is, or has played, pretty straight-ahead bop jazz I realise, and there's lots more players out there of various styles but that would take far too much effort. Hope it helped. |

I downloaded a file that has 80 jazz/swing songs on it (including all the songs from Fallout3). Glen Miller's Over the Rainbow is much better than the Wizard of Oz version. |

I really want to get into jazz music, I already love Django Reinhardt and Louis Armstrong and I want to broaden my horizons. Give me some examples of your favorite artists Escapees!
Also, for discussion:
Why do you like that particular artist? How did you learn about them?
