It's all about the bass and drums, although piano and jazz guitar can sound fantastic if it's not fusion.

@Gadfly, I've never heard of Bill Evans before, but now I'm in love lol. Thanks for posting his music.

Chet Baker- I fall in love too easily




Chet Baker- The Thrill is Gone




Chet Baker- My Funny Valentine




Paul Taylor - Pleasure Seeker (smooth jazz)



As you can see, I'm a trumpet and Saxophone kind of girl. Though I really love the Oboe, flute, and piano as well.

Are Jazz Standard enthusiasts welcome here? I respect a good jazz drummer.

My sentiments:

@KINGoftheAMAZONS - Chet Baker is one of the best. As a matter of fact, he takes up the majority of my iPod.

I just love the fact that he sings in such a simple way, and yet it's some of the best singing I've ever heard in my life. He's not too shabby on the trumpet either .

Well since a few people posted videos I figured I would post this one as I mentioned it earlier, listening to this makes me realize just how fresh and amazing a player Charlie Parker really was.

I love the jazz piano..i think it is the most pronounced form of jazz as a complex language. A system that is constantly altered..displaced and replaced in light of ones own feeling and synergy within the experience of one's self,an instructive form for seeking to alight one's understanding.

The jazz flute is pretty awesome.

Anyone into some Fela Kuti?

I love jazz, but I really like more of the 1970's soul influenced stuff that has been sampled in alot of hip hop and house music. If your interested in listening to some really jazz influenced hip hop producers I'd suggest DJ Premier and Pete Rock, I think they are amazing. Their music speaks to me, it resonates in my heart in a way that is hard for me to describe. I'd like to share with you two jazz/soul songs I have been listening to lately that I really enjoy, let me know what you think.
