[QUOTE=Grey Incision]Could someone recommend me something with cool jazz drumming and jazz guitar?[/QUOTE]

Brian Blade Fellowship

Random recommendation: Check out Keith Jarrett's inside out. Awesome improv jazz trio.

Could someone recommend me some acid jazz?

The Brand New Heavies are a decent Acid-Jazz group.

Someone tell me (or link me to posts with) smooth jazz reccomendations. I read through the first few 3-4 pages but didnt find anything. Thanks.

Oh be like that, and what the hell is bop?

as far as funky jazz goes, ya can't miss:

Lonnie Liston Smith
Lou Donaldson
Groove Holmes

would anybody consider The Cat Empire Jazz or Funk, cause whatever they are, they're very unique, and i LOVE them

Can somebody recommend me something like [I]Passion, Grace, and Fire[/I], except slower? Like some relaxing jazzy acoustic music, spanish flavor or not, doesn't matter. Thanks.

Not that this has anything to do with any of the above posts, but for future reference, the best orchestrated jazz album of all time is The Black Saint And The Sinner Lady, by Charles Mingus. Definitely the most brilliant album I've ever heard.

That is a great album, but asserting that it is "the best orchestrated jazz album of all time" seems a little ridiculous to me.

Are there any sites with Funk-chords tabbed? I suck at notes, and I dont have a teacher:upset:

Try maybe Acoustic Alchemy.. I don't really know. Maybe Wes Montgomery?

(...is PGF a Mahavishnu album or is it that DiMeola/DeLucia/McLaughlin one?)

Alright...here's what I'm looking for- something jazzy and funky, but taking influence (or influencing) modern jungle electronica. That is: Fast funk/break beats with slower 1/2 speed ambient melodies and/or grooves.

[quote](...is PGF a Mahavishnu album or is it that DiMeola/DeLucia/McLaughlin one?)[/quote]It is a guitar trio album, sir. :thumb:

Unfortunately not, thats why I asked about similiar music. I doubt they even have one out yet :/

well, if you like the sound of organs which is what i'm big into, along with some other instruments, then check out:

-Black Talk! - by Charles Earland (Organ, Sax i think)
-Medeski Martin and Wood (Drums, Organ, Bass, lots of other instruments)
-Drop Trio (Organ & some other stuff)
-John Scofield (Jazz Guitar & other instruments)
-Momentum - by Joshua Redman (organ, sax i think, really good)
-Head Hunters, & Thrust - by Herbie Hancock
-Soulive (Organ, Sax, other stuff)

thats mostly the type of music, and who i listen to for jazz right now, i hope to expand my jazz collection a lot more tho



if you find out any other good bands send a p.m.

I'm looking to get into Keith Jarrett. I remember liking what I heard from him in my jazz history class, but I can't remember what it was in particular that I heard. Piano trio tends to be my favorite outfit, but solo piano can be nice as well, if it's interesting. I guess what I'm looking for is the "classic" Jarrett....what he is famous for and what pieces/albums set him apart as unique.

Oooh, those are fantastic bands.

Ok I really havn't heard that much jazz playing. I mostly listen to metal/rock type music. I have recently got into Paul Gilbert I just heard the song "Six Billion People", and I can't stop listening to it I love the jazz like playing in the song. I want to get into more jazz, so could someone reccomend some bands or artists that sound sort of like the song or similar? Or reccomend me some jazz with awsome guitar playing.

Thanks

Sorry guys about this being out of topic, but for reason i cant post a new threat and i'm in a hurry.

Does anyone know of an American or European singer or band that have use some spanish words on their lyrics besides U2? I know there are lots of them, but I cant think of one right now and cant find any on the net. I'm writing a paper and need this info asap.
Thanks. I just need the name, song, and lyrics.
