[QUOTE=jpjrulestheworld]Bitches Brew is awesome, as is Live in Olympia, and Kind of Blue. I want Sketches of Spain.[/QUOTE]
I could upload that for you

[QUOTE=Illmatic]He's coming back here on July 29th but tickets are already sold out :([/QUOTE]

That's the same reason I'm not going anymore.

I am, however, going to Chicago for a few days with my dad. Any places I should check out?

I was never a big fan of Kind Of Blue, actually. Miles Smiles and Bitches Brew both blow it out of the water. I'm also a fan of Grant Green, though I may be alone.

[QUOTE=Badmoon]I like Charles Mingus among others.

And yes, I like some John Coltrane. Blue Train particularly.

Wes Montgomery's cool too.[/QUOTE]
That's strange..... :amaze: You mentioned [I]Blue Train[/I] and Mingus just when I got finished listining to [I]Mingus Ah Um[/I] and was just about to put in [I]Blue Train[/I]. :amaze: weird............

Anyone into latin Jazz?

^
Would Santana fall under that genre, because he is latin rock obviously.

I haven't heard a lot of Latin jazz. Sounds interesting enough, though.

NP: Miles Davis - Pet[size=2]its[/size] Machins (Small Stuff)

I really hope Santana would be considered latin jazz, because otherwise: no.

I dont see why Santana wouldn't be considered latin jazz.

woot!

[B]Check Up: Is anyone yet into the following?[/B]

Calexico - Convict Pool
Jimmy Cliff - Harder They Come

EDIT: Okay, no :(

Speaking of Miles Davis, I got Sketches Of Spain today out of my library.

[QUOTE=Badmoon][B]Check Up: Is anyone yet into the following?[/B]

Calexico - Convict Pool
Jimmy Cliff - Harder They Come

EDIT: Okay, no :([/QUOTE]Jimmy Cliff-yes
Calexico-Never downloaded

[QUOTE=BassMasterMike88]I dont see why Santana wouldn't be considered latin jazz.[/QUOTE]
He never seemed like any form of jazz to me.

Jimmy Cliff-After downloading Man in the Hills by Burning Spear I figured I should give him another listen, but I deleted it :-/

Calexico-yes

[QUOTE=BassMasterMike88]I dont see why Santana wouldn't be considered latin jazz.[/QUOTE]

'cause he is more experimental, he like to mix latin roots with blues and old fashioned rock.

That's true. Santana is cool. He's a cool old Mexican man.

Wes Montgomery's cool too.[/QUOTE]
Montgomery is unbelievably good. I only have a greatest hits, but it's one of my favorite jam albums.

Somehow today's Jazz fails to get me going, in my opinion, it lacks the energy that it's predecessors in the 20's had, and has, in many cases, been reduced to elevator music.

Yea, big band and swing music is great. :cool:

That it does. Maybe it is because the crazy underground Bohemian make-it-up-as-you-go-along sorts don't make Jazz as much as scholars do now adays. The same could be said of some rock (IMO)

Yea, improvisation really only appeals to me if the artist knows what he or she is doing (i.e. keeping the listener interested).

What exactly is Calexico?

No QMS! or Big Brother!

Santana isn't really latin jazz, but he has some aspects of it. Latin Jazz has little guitar, it has a high emphasis on percusion and bass. Some latin Jazz doesn't have latin percusion, it just has bass, piano, saxophone, ect., but it has the latin upbeat feel and groove. If you want some good Latin jazz download some Michel Camilo.

I can only remeber hearing some Santana Brothers CD that sounded very jazzy, latin (and elevator-y)

Ive never heard that, but what ive heard from santana is more like blues with latin percusion

Yeah, I know what you are talking about, but this Santana Bros. stuff was different and quite unpleasent (IMO) compared with plain old Santana. I don't know what it was exactly, maybe I should ask my dad, it was his CD, after all

So I bought

Chicago- [I]Chicago[/I]II

I'm really liking it

[QUOTE=jpjrulestheworld]He never seemed like any form of jazz to me.[/QUOTE]
