|  I have never listened to Jazz music. Can you recommend me some unforgettable pieces? Can you believe it? I have never listened to Jazz music. I was and am so much lost in the beauty of classical music the whole while. Now I want to start listening to jazz music. Please recommend me some wonderful pieces and composers. I have been playing the piano for the past 2 years so jazz music on piano would be even more appreciated. Thanks everybody. Powered by Yahoo Answers |

| Here are the best jazz musicians out today and some Cd's you should check out Dave Holland Quintet - Features the best trombonist out today Robin Eubanks and one of the best Sax players - Chris Potter Any Album But Prime Directive http://product.half.ebay.com/Prime-Directive_W0QQtgZinfoQQprZ3370057 Not for Nothin' http://product.half.ebay.com/Not-For-Nothin_W0QQprZ3467114QQtgZinfo and Critical Mass http://product.half.ebay.com/Critical-Mass_W0QQprZ55136944QQtgZinfo are outstanding.... the live album is also amazing, but it gets very out at times.... Joshua Redman - Amazing Sax player who hasn't forgotten his roots while he's progressed... very funky at times as well Try: Elastic http://product.half.ebay.com/Elastic-ECD_W0QQtgZinfoQQprZ3483980 and Momentum http://product.half.ebay.com/Momentum_W0QQtgZinfoQQprZ45894912 - Brian Blade plays on these albums and he is best drummer out today in my opinion. Roy Hargrove and the RH Factor - Roy is one of the top trumpet players around and his band experimenting with new sounds and musical fusions while at the same time making it accessible! Try Hard groove http://product.half.ebay.com/Hard-Groove_W0QQprZ3505524QQtgZinfo and Strength http://product.half.ebay.com/Strength-EP_W0QQprZ30891039QQtgZinfo If you don't have any Bela Fleck and the Flecktones, you should get some immediately Look for Flektones albums with Jeff Coffin like: Left of Cool http://product.half.ebay.com/Left-Of-Cool_W0QQprZ3278379QQtgZinfo and Live at the Quick http://product.half.ebay.com/Live-At-The-Quick_W0QQprZ3476625QQtgZinfo Here's some Jeff Coffin Stuff http://compassrecords.com/artist.php?id=45 Powered by Yahoo Answers |
