Jazz is my being. I teach, perform, write and listen to it as much as I possibly can.
I'm into just about every kind of Jazz music with the acception of the terribly obscure or smoother Jazz. I love old vocalists, not the newesr stuff as much. Example, Sinatra with Bassie's band would be what I'd like, not so much as Krall's music (although it's pretty good in it's own right)
I started off, like a lot with Miles, Trane, Parker. Now I still dig those cats but I listen to everyone.
Right now I am into Scofields new Trio album, going back to some Wayne Shorter records (speak no evil, ju-ju) and this morning listened to Kind of Blue (trying to teach one of the Solo's to a student so I needed it fresh in my ears). I'm working on my own album right now (at least the writing stages) and am preparing to go back to school and get my Masters in Jazz performance.
Jazz is life! lol
