Well, considering I played drums in a blues band for about 3 years and grew up listening to jazz (my uncle's a professional jazz musician) I like both forms. The only jazz I hate is jazz with vocals. For some reason it always sounds like a live-at-Ceaser's-Palace sort of thing. It usually sounds kind of cheesy. Blues I'm all about, though. Just about all kinds.

wow! that's a lot of names, pedro! ;D i'm more musician/band centred than genre-centred, which is why i can love a jazz band but not into jazz as a whole. weird?  while i am ok with jazz with vocals, i prefer the one without. it's more ....... errr..... ambiguous as i can associate the music with any situation or thought or emotion (as opposed to the ones with vocals which means there are lyrics to the song). blackcat, what kind of jazz do u play? since u're a player, can u tell us a little about your jazz history & how u get bitten by the bug? how's the jazz scene in your area? i read somewhere that Hurricane Katrina has somehow changed the jazz world as New Orleans is a very important place for jazz music & history. edit: can u recommend me jazz musician or band that has impressive percussion? for me percussion in jazz is one of the most impressive as it has its roots in tribal music. |

Janggy the vocals/voice in the jazz universe can be very diverse, no need to have "words/lyrics" presented on it's formal/gramatical form...some of the best "vocal jazz" moments doesn't present any kind of "lyric", instead they are an emotional vocalisation of the singer...and therefore letting each listener to build up/see/fell it's own personal history/Story! it ain't weird (not me) that some one prefers a more classic/Structured jazz formation (band) rather than another kind of line up. jazz is as diverse as any other music/art form,a nd therefore you're able to find stuff you love and others you don't. i love jazz, but there are some artists/albums (sometimes considered classics/must haves) that don't touch me deeply. it really depends of each ones heart in the end  regards |

will do, pedro! thanks!  i'm thinking of checking out guitarist Pat Metheny since he's someone my fav composer, Yoko Kanno, dreams to work with. i've listened to Martin Taylor's latest album, The Valley, which is mostly acoustic guitar (i guess u can put this under Smooth Jazz) & very easy to listen. as how my cousin puts it - the kind of music u should listen to wind down after a hard day at work. i think u can check out samples in bbc.co.uk under radio section. & no need for apologies. we all have real lives to attend to. |
