I know the majority of this site is dominated by hip hop and rap love, but I wanted to see how many people here are into any Jazz?

for sureee. bop and post bop mainly...Dizzy, Coltrane, Miles Davis, Cannonball Adderley (and Nat Adderly), Harold Land, Clifford Brown, Duke Ellington, Coleman Hawkins, Gerry Mulligan. It's incomparable.

I played in my high school jazz band and still get together with some people and session on occasion. my number one preset on the car radio is the jazz station in Denver, as they always have new programming on, and I've rarely heard the same song twice, and they have a lot of recordings that are done in their own studio so you cant hear them anywhere else.

I just started playing the tenor sax after years of the clarinet.

I guess my favorite artist is Coltrane, but I like others too.

I love jazz.

I like the classics...Miles, the bird, coltrane, sonny, herbie, cannonball

BUT

you guys should really look into newer people like joshua redman, kenny garret, michael brecker

Don't forget Mehldau, that guy has some really cool ideas. His Radiohead covers are awesome.

Check out "The Bad Plus"... 3 peiceensamble (drums, piano, bass). Somewhat abstract, but sounds very good, they do a lot of covers, like Teen Spirit.
