Glad I could help with some yazz flute. :-)


Seriously I lean more to the funk the side of jazz but check some some Quincy Jones (Big Band Bossanova), Herbie Hancock (Head Hunters), Deodato, John Scofield and newer stuff from Galactic, Soulive, Medeski, Martin and Wood and The Budos Band. Yeah, definitly check out the Budos Band.

Thanks again guys... I guess I have some research to do.

Always so many options when you start listening to a new genre of Music. I consider myself to listen to a very wide range of music.

I'm really digging the Jazz lately

Bill Chase (Got to get it on!)
Maynard Ferguson
Buddy Rich

If you've never heard of Bill Chase do yourself a favor and search youtube and Wikipeadia.

I need to correct my post from yesterday, the correct title for Isaac Hayes is Black Moses. He leans more toward funk/soul in his music but has some nice jazz riffs in his stuff as does the Alan Parsons Project and John Mayall. Fairport Convention, Herbie Mann and the Memphis Underground, Modern Jazz Quartet, George Benson, and Paul Butterfield are a few of the more modern performers who stray a bit off the reservation.:-)

Is that the same Chase as in the 1970 hit "Get It On"?

Maynard Ferguson's 1976 cover of "Invitation" has an interesting history in Chicago television...I think the video's still out on Youtube.

You might also like bossa nova style.

I recommend the album Getz/Gilberto, which has the famous original rendition of The Girl from Ipanema. This features Stan Getz on tenor.

I love the tone that Getz has from his sax. I also recommend the album Jazz Samba featuring Stan Getz and guitarist Charlie Byrd.

I would check out last.fm. Search for some of your favorite artists and click on their radio. It will play music by said artist and others that are similar.

Also I would add to your list
We Insist! Max Roach's Freedom Now Suite by Max Roach
The Shape Of Jazz To Come by Ornette Coleman
also some
Charles Mingus
Bud Powell
Thelonious Monk

quick edit
also
Money Jungle by Duke, Mingus, Roach

You guys are great... So much great music out there for me to discover :-)

If you're into jazz guitar pick up the album:

The Incredible Jazz Guitar or Wes Montgomery

Arguably the greatest Jazz guitarist of all time, and there have been some great/out of this world Jazz and Fusion guys. The tone he has is lovely.:-)
[Reply]

I would recommend Sooner Legend and fantastic jazz musician Wayman Tisdale. RIP Wayman!
