otter Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 (edited) Jazz, the sweet music of the ages. It rocks your soul, leaving you with a warm fuzzy feeling inside every time you listen. They've got Soul, and Funk, there's Fusion, Bebop, and many others...all leading back to straight up Jazz.Which is what you're about to hear about today.Is this topic about Jazz? It sure is. Why? Well, I play Jazz and I like listening to it...and I want to hear who else does either of those, or both.If you like listening to Jazz, please mention what sub-genres you like to listen to. And if you play it, please list the sub-genre you play most, and what instrument(s) you play.I, myself, play Upright Bass and Bass guitar when playing Jazz. And I love playing and listening to every sub-genre there is...I can't get enough.

Legolover-361 Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 My dad has a ton of jazzy albums. I've listened to Disciple of the Blues by Sonny Rhodes, a very bluesy album; Iceman by Albert Collins, which is blues-inspired but also jazzier; and Tribes, Vibes, and Scribes by Incognito. 'Tis good stuff. Quote (( BZPRPG profiles: Kynaera, Nova )) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenebrae Invictus Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 I listen to jazz fusion. That's pretty much it. Mahavishu Orchestra, Brand X, and Miles Davis (late 60s, early 70s albums). Jazz fusion isn't really my thing, but the former two have some great songs. I've been thinking about trying to listen to Weather Report as well.

CHTrilogy Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 I'm partial to a bit of jazz. I think I'd have to choose "The Fragrance of Dark Coffee" as my favourite track. Quote ~ CHTrilogy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen of Liars Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 With jazz, I mostly like vocal jazz, like Frank Sinatra and Peggy Lee. There's also this unsigned singer that I like, Hania Lee. She does quite a lot of really good vocal jazz songs.Other than that, I like some Ornette Coleman and a jazz/black metal fusion band called Shining.

otter Posted March 23, 2012 Author Share Posted March 23, 2012 Vocal Jazz is nice. One of my favorite things to listen to is Jazz Fusion, going back to T.I.I listen to jazz fusion. That's pretty much it. Mahavishu Orchestra, Brand X, and Miles Davis (late 60s, early 70s albums). Jazz fusion isn't really my thing, but the former two have some great songs. I've been thinking about trying to listen to Weather Report as well.Yes, listen to Weather Report. You can not live without hearing the amazing bass skills of Jaco Pastorius. Look up Third Stone from the Sun, the way Jaco plays it. Not Jimi Hendrix. And never forget Birdland, oh no.You also wouldn't go wrong listening to the Rippingtons, they wrote a song called Morocco that my High School's jazz band played near the beginning of the year. It's a nice song too. Quote profiles i guess i'm a south american giant otter now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC, that's the first one with Jaco Pastorius. Quote Up, down, turn around, please don't let me hit the ground Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
