Anyone reading this here blog a fan of jazz? Contemporary or classic, leave a comment with your favorite artist, clubs or whatever listed.
For the record: I enjoy classic jazz artists such as Miles Davis, Hank Jones, The Duke, Thelonious Monk, Sonny Rollins and Stacey Kent.
Last night, I was listening to Sketches of Spain by Davis and it hit me how well he tells a story with that sax.

Geez, not one reader likes jazz?
do i look black !!!!
I love Jazz but you know as well as I do that orthodox Jews don't really like music.
I'm not so into "straight" jazz, but Davis' "Bitches Brew" is a classic album, more of a jazz-rock fusion sound. Traffic (w/Steve Winwood) is a great '60s - '70s band that has jazz/rock/folk/psychedelic influences in their music - you can check them out on Youtube; the songs "The Low Spark of High-Heeled Boys," "Glad" (instrumental) and "Freedom Rider" come to mind esp. as "jazz-based", but I love pretty much all of their stuff. And, as you know, "Dark Side" has a nice jazz sound on several tracks, like "Money" and "Us and Them"
with some good alternatives. I imagine being hit up by people all the time for donations must get on artists' nerves, and wouldn't exactly thrill their dealers either.
it's nice when you want to relax to some smooth music
I'm appreciate your writing skill.Please keep on working hard.^^
I like Jazz. Any kind. My favorite is the mixture os Klezmer and Jazz. I have a few Cds with Andy Statman and some others, great stuff.
I grew up on jazz. The Duke, Thelonious Monk, Dizzy Gillespie, and of course Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald, and then there is John Coltrane that I adore. The list is long. I think if you listen to music very early you learn how to appreciate it. When introduced to jazz late - you might like it less. I know a lot of people that absolutely hate it, and I cannot figure out why. Maybe because for someone who grew up on Ben David and Miami Boys Choir it is too complex, almost like classical music.
Buddy Rich, Gene Krupa, Max Roach and Billy Cobham are my favorite jazz drummers.
But really, blues is where it's at.
Chuck Mangione... really dig his stuff. My wife is into Snora... I mean Nora Jones.
Nice article on jazz in the latest Newsweek. Find it at: http://www.newsweek.com/id/226331
Nancy King.
I like jazz. Check out "Live Evil." (Miles)
"That Sax?"
I thought that Miles Davis played the trumpet, not the saxophone.
If you want to hear a sax, try Lew Tabackin (who also does flute).
if you like jazz you must visit festival of jazz that passes every year in israel in eilat)))
