oh yes, can I jump on the jazz-band-wagon too...?

Love some recommendations - particularly the late night, intimate, improvised sounding style.


great idea for a thread Bethaneeny

I'm not really a fan of Jazz, just one or two tracks here and there.

Moondog - Bird's Lament

Thanks Yeah, its the late night jazz club stuff im looking for. Im in a jazz group at school and am doing an inprovised section on my sax - wouldn't mind some inspiration, and a little bit of jazz never hurt

my absolute favourite jazz vocalist is a woman called rachelle ferrell, search for her on youtube, best performances include autumn leaves, i know you love me and bye bye blackbird. her album first instruments is amazing, although it does get very shouty and squealy, maybe a bit much for a newbie to jazz. but i love it!

Take a look at this Yahoo thread about listening to jazz. When I started listening to it I pretty much followed Teaim's advice on that thread (second answer down) -

Miles Davis - Kind of Blue
Thelonious Monk - Monk's Dream
Roland Kirk - Inflated Tear
Grant Green - Matador
Wayne Shorter - Speak No Evil
Herbie Hancock - Maiden Voyage
Horace Silver - Song for My Father

I found all those really good, easy to get into even though I hadn't listened to much jazz before. Really, it depends what you've listened to already and whether you're looking for older/modern jazz music. I found those albums to be really good starting points.

John Coltrane - A Love Supreme
Miles Davis - Kind Of Blue
Duke Elllington - Ellington Live at Newport
Herbie Hancock - Headhunters
Wayne Shorter - Speak No Evil
Wynton Marsalis - Standard Time
Weather Report - Black Market

I'm more of a classic rock, pre 80s RnB and soul listener but I have to say that Wayne Shorter and Wynton Marsalis were the best live shows I've been to in my life. Very moving, it was awsome
