Bumping this as I'm on a bit of an Oscar Peterson kick at the moment.   I've been out of MOTS for a while, so I'm expecting this thread to be shat on. The place has changed.

Me too. I still have my mom's original copy of TakeFive.

Charles Mingus' The Black Saint & The Sinner Lady.   STALL. THE. BALL.   Some of the craziest shit I've ever heard. Amazing.

Kenny G is great jazz I think. He plays a wicked saxophone.

Kenny G isn't jazz. Not even close. He's a pop saxophonist. Some people call that music "lite jazz," but it isn't real jazz. He has good skills but he's a soulless player.

Kenny G is the Kip Winger of jazz.

Dave Brubeck, Gerry Mulligan, Chet Baker, Coltrane, and other 50s/60s jazz is my main thing, but a lot of it is good. I also really like the Marsalis family, and a good 350 other groups smile.gif Experiment, and branch out. Jazz is wonderful.

Winton Marsalis is amazing!

I hear ya, Cochise. I love "Take Five."

 

That is what jazz should sound like, IMO. I can just imagine a cocktail party in a smoky room, a drink in my hand, and Paul Desmond's sax coming from the speakers.

P.S. Great reviews! trink39.gif

Ha Treeduck!

You stole my answer! I was going to say, get every Pat Metheny you can get your hands on. Still Life Talking & Imaginary Day are my personal favorites. I have seen him a few times. Friggin unbelievable! Antonio Sanchez on drums- simply Amazing! Between Pat, Lyle & Antonio, you just can't get better talent on a stage. Period!

Jaco rules, from the "false harmonics" that open "Birdland," through his beautifully lyrical fretless line on "A Remark You Made," to his bass chops-buster "Teen Town," to his great bass solo on "Havona" (one of the two tracks he wrote for the album).

 

Jaco rules.
