Yup...
I've always liked jazz and am sort of a hack jazz bass player. Been studying double bass with a guy whose turned me onto a lot of neat jazz tunes. He currently has me working on some Lester Young stuff. |

One of my favorite genres along with classical. I used to go to jazz clubs up in Harlem when I was a kid in the days when it was a gauntlet. That being said I also like me some death metal and Hank, senior and junior along with Johnny.

I can listen to jazz for about one 3-minute tune. Historically, I can appreciate the role that jazz played in swing and all later forms of popular music.

Yes, but then again my musical taste is eclectic. I like most jazz esp. smooth, 40's big band swing, older country, 50's Doo-wop, 60's bubble gum, late 60's-70's acid and heavy metal.... I don't really like much rap or opera but can appreciate some scores of the latter.

I enjoy it. I'll recommend "Beyond the Missouri Sky" by Charlie Haden and Pat Metheny. It's by far my favorite jazz album. Just straight ahead stand up bass and acoustic guitar. I got to see Metheny live as a four piece a few years back and it was incredible. I also like Wes Montgomery and some Miles Davis.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Jazz by blacks = music Jazz by ennybuddy else = discordant noise. Sometimes you need to look as Jazz as a sort of octopus. I has a central theme, the head, but also extensions, the arms. The arms give an opportunity for instruments and/or individual artists to break away from the rest as an expression as long as they/he/she stays within the groundwork. |

I has a central theme, the head, but also extensions, the arms. The arms give an opportunity for instruments and/or individual artists to break away from the rest as an expression as long as they/he/she stays within the groundwork. To quote my oldest son (Jazz Pianist): "Jazz piano legend Bill Evans said jazz is not a “what,” but rather a “how.” Unlike other forms of music, jazz is not created over the course of a few months. Jazz is created in the moment, on a stage in front of an audience. Although improvisation may appear chaotic, disorganized, or even lacking in serious skill, this misconception could not be further from the truth. In order to improvise, a musician must have a deep understanding of the natural order of music as a whole, not just the song they’re playing. They have to understand rhythms, chord progressions, melodic patterns, how one note can resolve to another, and be able to pull from this expansive body of knowledge on the fly. While a classical composer can spend months crafting a moment of music, a jazz musician creates their moment in a moment, while on stage with other musicians, in front of an audience. This improvisation illustrates what makes mankind so special: it demonstrates our ability to use rational free will..." |

One of my favorite genres to listen to. I prefer the cool jazz and bebop/hard bop territories: Art Pepper, Dexter Gordon, earlier Miles Davis, Coltrane, and the Jazz Messengers like Art Blakey, Lee Morgan, Keith Jarrett, Wynton Marsalis.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Jazz by blacks = music Jazz by ennybuddy else = discordant noise. So toss out the entirety of the bossa genre?  Besides every white guy already listed, you want to toss out Tal Farlow basically creating chord melody structure and then, IMO, the most versatile jazz guitarist to have lived, Joe Pass? Sounds like you need to get out more. |

But I absolutely hate jazz. I love music - and with good jazz, I guess I "get it" - but still just can't get into it. |

Bill Evans wrote the Liner Notes for Miles Davis' Kind of Blue (greatest Jazz album, ever):
Improvisation in Jazz by Bill Evans There is a Japanese visual art in which the artist is forced to be spontaneous. He must paint on a thin stretched parchment with a special brush and black water paint in such a way that an unnatural or interrupted stroke will destroy the line or break through the parchment. Erasures or changes are impossible. These artists must practice a particular discipline, that of allowing the idea to express itself in communication with their hands in such a direct way that deliberation cannot interfere. The resulting pictures lack the complex composition and textures of ordinary painting, but it is said that those who see well find something captured that escapes explanation. This conviction that direct deed is the most meaningful reflections, I believe, has prompted the evolution of the extremely severe and unique disciplines of the jazz or improvising musician. Group improvisation is a further challenge. Aside from the weighty technical problem of collective coherent thinking, there is the very human, even social need for sympathy from all members to bend for the common result. This most difficult problem, I think, is beautifully met and solved on this recording. As the painter needs his framework of parchment, the improvising musical group needs its framework in time. Miles Davis presents here frameworks which are exquisite in their simplicity and yet contain all that is necessary to stimulate performance with sure reference to the primary conception. Miles conceived these settings only hours before the recording dates and arrived with sketches which indicated to the group what was to be played. Therefore, you will hear something close to pure spontaneity in these performances. The group had never played these pieces prior to the recordings and I think without exception the first complete performance of each was a "take." Although it is not uncommon for a jazz musician to be expected to improvise on new material at a recording session, the character of these pieces represents a particular challenge. Briefly, the formal character of the five settings are: "So What" is a simple figure based on 16 measures of one scale, 8 of another and 8 more of the first, following a piano and bass introduction in free rhythmic style. "Freddie Freeloader" is a 12-measure blues form given new personality by effective melodic and rhythmic simplicity. "Blue in Green" is a 10-measure circular form following a 4-measure introduction, and played by soloists in various augmentation and diminution of time values. "All Blues" is a 6/8 12-measure blues form that produces its mood through only a few modal changes and Miles Davis' free melodic conception. "Flamenco Sketches" is a series of five scales, each to be played as long as the soloist wishes until he has completed the series. |
