REAL Jazz

What do you consider "real Jazz"? Benny Goodman is Jazz the same way Miles Davis is. In fact, many of the guys who played with Davis played in big bands as well.

I am joking man...

Personally, I enjoy a variety of rhythms......except that modern crap...I really don't like the crap that passes off for improvisation sometimes...its is just awful. I would have to give you a specific example to expalin it better, but sadly, I forget the artists (no need top remember them )

I can't help but enjoy nicely placed sincopatic phrases

 

[Storm]

Any more suggestions?

Nicholas Payton - Gumbo Nouveu
Mark Whitfield - 7th Ave. Stroll
Nicholas Payton - Fingerpainting
