Yep, Jazz. Ain't it one of the most beautifull types of music ever?! I love it. What about you? My favorite artists are Charlie Parker (the sax has the most magical sound in the world, to me.), Nina Simone, Billie Holiday, Dizzy Gilliespie (sp?), Chet Baker, and the artist that did the song 'Caravan'. I forgot the name, but man its so good.
chet baker was realy cool . they did a movie bout his life called ...lets get lost ....ive never seen it .he did what they refered to as matinee jazz ...a precurser to cool jazz.thelonius monk , stan getz , chic corea , flora purim and airto morierias...they were good....what do u think he ment about getting lost ....chet did get lost ...do u know how?
I love jazz, even if I don't always comprehend what's going on... it's very elegant and yet cerebral.
my favourites are charles mingus and thelonious monk. i love listening to jazz when im stoned, it flows through me. to be honest, i can sometimes get bored of it after a while when im straight.
I've always loved jazz (it always surprised adults when I was a young child!), but only got to know more about it about 2 years ago. I really love jazz-fusion, and Miles Davis, but I absolutely cannot stand free-jazz (makes me nervous!!)
