You must be a jazz fan greg if you know about those people.
So if you are, you have a soul and I hereby exempt you from my latest thought bubble "Why are the left such joyless people"

I'm am a Jazz person.

To be fair, though: those names I mentioned are pretty much the Beatles, Stones, and Led Zep of jazz.

Time Out and Kind of Blue are essential albums, even if you're not really a jazz fan.

Being a Zappa fan I've come to love other jazz guitarists like Pat Metheny, John Scofield (probably my favourite), John McLaughlin, Larry Carlton, Mike Stern, etc.

As far as jazz saxophone goes, John Coltrane's A Love Surpreme is a must have album too.

How can anyone not like this? ...

Reply #122 - Nov 8^th, 2016 at 10:47am If you want to hear a different Brubeck find Jazz at Oberlin. Jazz Red Hot & Cool was my introduction to Brubeck and I think it remains one of their best. Paul Desmond (oh sorry marla, he's white) remains one of my favourite all time horn players for his sheer lyrical beauty.

Good stuff, but I wouldn't call it jazz. It's big band/swing. Still good, though. I can remember hearing records of the Miller band roaring like Count Basie. All those guys had jazz backgrounds.
