Jazz Music
 

I need some recomedations... what say you???

I want to put a nice play list on the new I-Pod. I like more of a heavier sound, not really the smooth stuff... if that makes sense

Re: Jazz Music
 

I always go for Miles Davis, John Coltrane, and then some of the old big band Ellington.


Miles Davis - check out both A Kind of Blue album and B!tches Brew album

Re: Jazz Music
 

Herb Alpert, Buddy Rich, Louis Armstrong:tu

Re: Jazz Music
 

If by heavier you mean brass sound, then this list is the way to go:tu

Re: Jazz Music
 

Thelonious Monk, Bud Powell, Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Charles Mingus, Lee Konitz... There are simply too many greats to name.

You may be too far away from Newark to pick up WBGO, the public radio jazz station @ 88.3 FM, but they have a website, wbgo.org, that can give you alla info you will ever need about jazz. Plus, you can listen online and listen to see what you like.

FYI, I just checked them out, and they are presently live at the Newport Jazz Festival. Guess I'll leave it on for a while. :D

I been streaming for about 45 min. and I must say... :tu

I'm really enjoying the tracks with the bongo/conga type drum beats. I believe they refer to it as Afro-Cuban... Good stuff!!!

Re: Jazz Music
 

WBGO is one of the best jazz stations you will find - save when they are doing their NPR-type beg-a-thons. Glad you are enjoying it. ;)

Re: Jazz Music
 

Also, if you have Comcast digital service, you have several jazz stations in the music area. Also, check out in the digital section the BET Soul programming, some good jazz pops up there once in a while.:tu

If you want to stream any kind of music, try sky.fm :tu

Personally, I like instrumental jazz. A few of my favorites are the Rippingtons, Sypro Gyra, and Lee Ritenour. Some would call this "smooth jazz", but I find the styles that the Rippingtons play change through their playlist. My favorite album is their "Live in L.A." concert disk. There are quite a few videos of their performance in L.A. on youtube. :D
