Jazz

[no yu begin wher i end]

Anyone else here play/enjoy some jazz every now and then? I recently started jamming with friends after school, and I'm begining to really get into guys like Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, Clifford Brown, Dizzy Gillespie and John Coltrane. Nothing on MG, but these guys have to be some of the most talented musicians on the face of the planet. Anyone agree, disagree? I just thought that most of the talk here was confined to modern rock. Anyhoo....... B)

I like jazz ;) used to go to Chapters and listen to musicians play when they still did that... but then cutbacks and Starbucks getting mad got rid of it :angry:

I had a burned CD of live stuff with Miles Davis and Thelonious Monk that I've been totally in love with for years. The problem with jazz for me is I never know where to start. can you recommend any albums?

I don't play jazz, but I do enjoy listening to it. Always a great pick-me-up style of music.

Miles Davis.... *drools* sweet sweet Kind of Blue. one of the greatest albums of all time. i wish i could play jazz, im learning music theory here and there, and modal when i can.. it's difficult stuff tho!

At school, it's a really great brek from the rest of the day.
