Yahooee! FINALLY! SO glad you mentioned it.
Big jazz fan. Not sure where I got it from. Maybe jsut got tired fo teh run of the mill pop junk that never seemd to have enough feel to it. The biggies include, yeah, Miles (of course). But the rest? OK, thanks for asking:
Jaco (good call h2ogo69) and Weather Report
Pat Metheny
Keith Jarrett
Squirrel Nut Zippers (good ol swing)
Billie Holiday
Paul Desmond
Art Pepper (Meets the Rhythm Section...nice!)
and more......
Too hard to remember more here at work.
If you are just getting in to jazz, but dont know what to listen to or what to buy, start with some traditional stuff like Kind of Blue by Miles Davis, or Blue Train by John Coltrane to get started. Feel free to send me a message if you want to try some other things. There are so many other styles, there's got to be one you'll like.
