Another classic...

Not one to front...I'm not really jazz at all one day I'll get around to really soaking it all up.

Since this is a jazz thread thought I would share that I read the autobiography of Miles Davis and it was a great read from front to back.


Talked about his relationship with Coltrane, Gillespie, and all those cats. It was cool to read about dude though...

 

[omgitswes]

Was it this one? I've read it too, pretty good

 

[omgitswes]

Not really sure if this is jazz or not, but I really like Dinah Washington

 

[Sinner]

Yeah, I'd definitely consider Dinah Washington as jazz...

Lots of good stuff posted... will have to go through all of them later! 

Anyway... another "modern" singer that I enjoy...

 

[omgitswes]

her album in French was played non stop about a year ago. That's probably my favorite by her.
I have a thing for the french language. Something about french singers that I just love

New Christian Scott drops today...I think it's a double album. Tried looking for it at a local Best Buy (closet store), but I knew they weren't going to have it. Will have to go to some spots that are far to get....

 

[omgitswes]

I'm going to check it out. Might want to try amazon psk. I know when I'm looking for albums that I can't find in stores, amazon always has it

 

[Sinner]

One of the current bossa-nova singers that I like...

 

[Kimchi Papi]

Mos Def & Robert Glasper - Thieves In The Night

 

[Sinner]

^ That's pretty cool.  Not something I would listen to a whole-lot, but it's something different... in a good way.

Anyway, continuing...

Miles Davis (Trumpet)

John Coltrane (Tenor Saxophone)

Paul Chambers (Bass)

Red Garland (Piano)

Philly Joe Jones (Drums)

You just can't beat that line-up!
