sonic1988 Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 I'm taking a History of Jazz course at my college, and I would like to get a little convo going about it. I'm in the early jazz, when it was still dance-able and more like ragtime. I was just curious as to people's fav. songs and artists in this genre.

JumpinJack AJ Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 I really like Jazz myself. I used 2 listen 2 it more back in the day than i do now tho.' I really like the modern stuff that is smooth and R-N-B infested. I appriciate the old stuff like the big band stuff, but for the most part, i just like the smooth stuff. I don't really follow any artists, but i do have a Jazz station programed in2 the radio in my car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cozmo D Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 Jazz is my favorite music, and it's where all modern western music comes from. From that era it's all about Satchmo, no need to go any further than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sonic1988 Posted February 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 some of the fusion stuff is really cool. My friend always makes me and my friends listen to The Mahavishnu Orchestra, they are pretty nice. I know Jan Hammer, who is in that group composed the Miami Vice theme (the TV show, not the movie...if the movie had a theme). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
