listen seriously - it's not pop. try to get beyond flash and glamor
later, listen to Charles Parker, Dizzy gillespie, etc.
There are some Great big bands to listen to.
You like drums. Buddy Rich & Mel Lewis are two of the best.
Two great big bands not well enough known are the Gerald Wilson Big Band
recordings from 1959-1965 or so; Terry Gibbs Big Band about the same years.
Both have M. Lewis on drums. Buddy's band 1966-1968 was a very good one.
best I can do for now.
