MiltyG565 Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 I really am not sure what's going on, but I'm scared. I've started listening to Jazz recently, and I have been enjoying it. I blame my boss. He's a jazz musician. I know what's going on! The Jazz agenda is being promoted from those within the circle to incite new recruits! On a serious note - how far into the vast genre of Jazz does Air lie? Probably pretty tame, right? Well, I've been listening to Air a lot recently. They have some seriously good songs, and are clearly very talented musicians - an aspect of Jazz which nobody could deny. Are they a "gateway" [s]drug[/s] band?

gjones Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 (edited) Georgie Fame is the thin end of the wedge as far as Jazz is concerned. This is from his album 'The Blues and Me'. There's some great musicians on this album (I believe they were the band from The Letterman Show). I love the album but this is one of my favorites. You can listen to the other tracks from the album here on youtube too. Bassist is Will Lee and he plays some very classy bass this album.

[/quote] About as far as Darts is 'into the vast genre of' Sport... Don't get me wrong, 'Moon Safari' is a great album but it's hardly Bird. If you like things spacious and textural, I'd try 'Kind of Blue' from the main Miles canon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xgsjx Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 It's my favourite genre. Jazz covers a huge range of genres like Miles Davis, Charlie Parker, Kurt Elling & EST, but can then go to drum n' bass & the more experimental electronica sounding stuff like 4Hero, Skalpel & one of my faves, Nerve. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oc4tk_7td7M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
