i was watching this today and realized i should listen to some jazz, anyone wanna recommend me stuff like this?

[LiquidPhonics]

sounds like Medeski, Martin, and Wood- my favorite jazz though is a lot of Miles Davis- lot more old school obviously but its super chill- albums Kind of Blue and E.S.P are my favs i would think

YouTube is banned here, so I'm not sure what that is. However, you can't go wrong with Charles Mingus.

[liledman]

john coltrane, miles davis... the usual suspects. tord gustavsen trio is some awesome chilled jazz, and yes to charles mingus definitely.

Miles Dvis is good, also there are Louis Armstrong- west end blues, Miles Dvis- So what, Bill Evans- Waltz for Debby.

These are good numbers.


Thanks!!:)

Miles Dvis- So what

Ah yes. Being a bassist, I always recommend playing So What for gigs. It doesn't matter if I'm playing in a funk/soul group, dance group, punk/alternative group or jazz group. It's all about So What. ;)

it'd probably be easier to take you seriously if you didn't express yourself like an idiot child.
