Jazz is a pretty big thing man, anything in particular?

[yoda on mars]

So, I'll start

Recently I listen to lot of Krzysztof Komeda, Duke Elington and Miles Davis stuff. I've stolen some of my dad's cd's and I diggin them all day now

Cool. Never got into Jazz that much to be honest due my dad being more of a old school chicago blues fan, but I have checked out pretty much most of the mainstream stuff and the technicalities of Jazz guitar is pretty impressive, especially their use of 7 string guitars. Jazz drumming aswell thats another thing to be blown away by.

[yoda on mars]

yup, druming is one of the best things that comes with jazz music. My favourite bands are those containing only:

bass
trumpet
drums

Also, once I saw a concert of a jazz band that had two drumers, I mean that there were two drum kits. Amazing thing, but I forget the name of the band. They were from USA.

Miles Davis.

Miles Davis - Complete Birth Of The Cool is one of the best albums ever made imo.

I'll try uploading it tonight although it's 181mb and our DSL cuts out a lot in New Zealand, great for those 3 hour uploads that fuck out at the last second.

Anyway I'll give it a shot as imo if your only ever going to get one Jazz album in your life this would be the one.

Ya'll should check out the OG jazz/rock fusion groups; Weather Report, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Return to Forever the latter of which featured ex Miles Davis alumn Cick Corea no less.

Pick up early albums by Al di Meola too.
