Jazz


Miss Murder

I especially love bossa novas or however they called, I like certain types of jazz. The problem is, I don't know any artists or songs in particular. Care to help?

Ha- At least someone here has an interest in jazz. <_<

Well, I'd be glad to help but I've just started listening to jazz this year- I started off with some of the early jazz musicians and then to the modern kinds.

I started off with some Louis Armstrong- one of the more well-known jazz musicans. And then it sort of evolved.

Get started with these musicians, my favorites :

Miles Davis, John Coltrane and Ella Fitzgerald.

Ah- But I see you're into the Bossa Nova? Are you talking about the Brazilian style of music that evolved from American Jazz- kind of like the Samba?

I've listened to that kind- and I love it- have you heard of Sergio Mendes?

If you like Bossa Nova and Samba you should listen to Joao Gilberto.

I remember I used to listen to jazz on the way back from college and certain aquaintances would make fun of me because I'd alter the tempo I was walking and shake my head in peculiar ways without realising.

Davis, Coltrane, Mingus, Parker, the usual suspects. Ya know.

Mahavishnu Orchestra kicks ass.

Al Di Meola's pretty cool too in that Fusion genre. Tony Williams' stuff with Allan Holdsworth is great too.

Inner Mounting Flame is just amazing.

Tony Williams is my favorite drummer, ever. I haven't heard his work with Holdsworth however.

Check out Williams' The Lifetime Collection if you get the chance. It's magic.

I've been wanting to get into early Lifetime for years.

Charlie Parker baby...he's the man.

(check out the movie Bird if you haven't seen it)

also...Charlie Watts has a lifelong love of jazz...if the Charlie Watts Quintet ever plays nearby,do yourself a favour and go see them!
