Members csm Posted October 30, 2008 Members Share Posted October 30, 2008 Love jazz -- can't remotely play it. But just gimme some Miles, Trane, Monk, Mingus, Duke, Bird, Jaco, Charlie Christian, Dexter Gordon, Jimmy Smith, Rollins (Sonny, that is), Sonny (Sharrock, that is), Ornette ... And I'm as happy as I am with Howlin' Wolf or The Ramones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DaveAronow Posted October 30, 2008 Members Share Posted October 30, 2008 I like big band Jazz, swing, Gypsy swing, Bluesy Jazz, Jazzabilly, Creole, Dixieland Jazz, and all sorts of other stuff. I like to hear melody in the music I listen to, so I will listen to anything, including all sorts of Jazz. It starts to lose me when it sounds like just a bunch of guys noodling for the sake of just jamming with no discernable pattern or melody. I find that stuff to be utterly boring. But give me a nice powerful horn section, and a badass swinging piano player and I am all over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Fuelish Posted October 30, 2008 Members Share Posted October 30, 2008 Who else loves jazz? Define jazz .... that's like saying "who here likes/loves rock?" No offense, but you know what I mean. I love SOME jazz, like SOME jazz, tolerate SOME jazz, yadda yadda yadda. It's all good....unless, of course, it's not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members SamsDaddy Posted October 30, 2008 Members Share Posted October 30, 2008 What's wrong with you people!? A post about Jazz, on a guitar forum, and no love for Joe Pass!? One of my all time favorites. I am a huge fan of jazz, but as someone else said, there is the good stuff and the bad stuff. Most of the stuff already mentioned is great in my book. I am also a big fan of Bireli Lagrene. Amazing chops on that guy, and he puts together some really nice arrangements of classic tunes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members halmot Posted October 30, 2008 Members Share Posted October 30, 2008 True to my lifelong habit of perverting everything that's good and natural, at the age of forty-*hmmm*, I'm only now starting to familiarize myself with much of the significant rock of the 60s to the present. In high school and college, I listened to jazz and classical music almost exclusively. Makes it damned hard to learn guitar. I keep thinking there's got to be more than two notes in that chord! Also, I'm much too old and washed up now to gain any mojo from it. It does kind of piss of the kids when I pick them up at school with Pantera blaring from the car.

Members csm Posted October 30, 2008 Members Share Posted October 30, 2008 Very few guitarists have been amongst my favourite jazzers -- Christian, Montgomery, Burrell, McLaughlin, Sharrock and not many more. Compared to the great hornmen and piano players, guitarists aren't really the Big Boys in jazz the way they are in rock or blues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Coda_ Posted October 30, 2008 Members Share Posted October 30, 2008 Im all about Grant Green. I think hes the most underrated musician of all time.. and one of the pioneers of funk. I dig on Wes, Brubeck, Horace Silver, Joe Henderson, Bobby Hutcherson, Trane, Herbie Hancock, Monk, Pat Martino........I got into jazz for school...It was either be a classical guitar major, or jazz studies..........so im studying jazz guitar. Jazz Guitarists dont get nearly the respect they deserve throughout history...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members seven58 Posted October 30, 2008 Members Share Posted October 30, 2008 I like Jazz a lot. I started liking some Jazz influenced artist and songs which got me into it. I was also hanging out at an obscure pub at the time that had a great piano player who would play jazz and blues. His name was Gene Brown. Sadly he was murdered one night downtown.

Members RaVenCAD Posted October 30, 2008 Members Share Posted October 30, 2008 I love trying to play jazz, but I can't listen to it to save my life.. Joe Pass, I love, but outside of him, it's mind numbing for me.. But when it comes to guitar tone, clean, warm and round are where I crave to be.. Kinda weird, huh?

How could I have forgotten him when he's one of the very few jazz guitarists who've affected the development of the music as a whole rather than simply influencing other guitarists?

Members noisebloom Posted October 30, 2008 Members Share Posted October 30, 2008 I love jazz. I'm a big fan of Miles Davis, and a few years ago I was on a huge kick with his fusion period between 1968-71. I may own more CDs of his than any other artist represented in my collection.

Members Saturn Posted October 30, 2008 Members Share Posted October 30, 2008 Big fan of Return to Forever. One of the best concerts I've been to was Al DiMeola. Just Al up on stage with his guitar. Was absolutly blown away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
