Django Reinhardt might be good for you but it might be too difficult. Most of the solo to Minor Swing is pretty easy. Or maybe Douce Ambience.
You can find good stuff here: [url]http://www.hotclub.co.uk/[/url]
Go to "playing" and download POWERTAB
then use the link below to the page dedicated to Gypsy Jazz Powertab. Check out all the django stuff and listen for what you like.

thanks to whoever it was that suggested mingus ah um...this stuff is great!

Does anyone know of any good saxaphone duets? Just two saxaphones playing off each other, or even just a single saxaphone playing.

I have some good piano and saxaphone duet albums, but it would be really cool to hear two saxes.

Anthony Braxton has an album out called [I]For Alto[/I] that a bunch of solos. I can't recommend it, because I don't like it.

this might be wrong in the wrong place but can somebody recamend some good classical stuff. like solo piano and full ohcestra stuff

[I]Uncle Meat, Weasels Ripped My Flesh,[/I] and [I]Waka/Jawaka[/I] are mostly instrumental.

What/who should I listen to if my favorite kind of jazz is the New Orleans style?

[b]Louis Armstrong[/b]
Sidney Bechet
Jelly Roll Morton
Bix Beiderbecke
King Oliver

Thanks for the recommendations.:)

If anyone has heard of Scott Paddock, this guy is really cool.
I downloaded his album off of iTunes (the only place I could find it after looking for 3 1/2 hours), it's called "From Within"

To get a sample, check out this webpage. It's the music playing in the background as soon as the page loads.

if we're talking solo sax, there's a cool version of Brecker doing Naima , by himself,..on the [U]Directions in music[/U] album,..i think it is....with Hancock and Hargrove

To check out some great jazz/blues artists that you may not be familiar with, there's a music documentary of a place called Bunkers. I think it's interesting to hear these musicians' stories and see their performances. The movie is called "Bunkers: An American Music Story."
I think you can check it out here: [url]http://www.bunkersmusicstory.com/[/url]

can someone recommed me good swing jazz?

What kind of style is the theme from [I]Late Night with Conan O'Brien[/I]? It sounds like something I could really get into, but I don't know where to begin. What are some artists or groups with a similar style?

Hi, I'm new here.. I really just wanted to find some music forum who could tell me what this song is:

[url]http://matthewrolston.com/800x600/rolston-home.htm[/url]

And also, if you could suggest any more musicians who have that sort of music, would also be greatly appreciated :)

hehe, this might be pretty obvious but Michael Buble and Peter Cincotti?

both great singers..

I don't know what the original song or who the mixer is, but that's a remix of something by Ella Fitzgerald. You want music similar to what the original version of that song would sound like, try more Ella, Billie Holiday, and Sarah Vaughan.

What about The Meters, 'Funky Meters'
Sly and the Family Stone; 'There's A Riot Going On'
Kool and the Gangs; 'Funky Stuff'
Buckshot lefonque . . interesting band headed by Wynton Marsellis' brother
Also Album with Great Tracks, 'All About The Funk', a collaboration with the brand new H's, The Official Nicole Russo can Funk hard.

So I've really been liking Dave Brubeck Quartet's Time Out, and I was just wondering where I should go from there to see what else jazz has to offer? I don't really know much.

I know nothing about jazz either but I'm really digging Yusef Lateefs [i]Eastern Sounds[/i].

Can anyone recommend me some good Jazz guitarists?

[b]Django Reinhardt[/b]
Charlie Christian
Wes Montgomery
Joe Pass
Derek Bailey (avant-garde/free)
John McLaughlin (fusion)
I love Freddie Green's sound in Basie's band, but he was always rhythm, Basie though he was too important to keeping the band together to let him solo

Al DiMeola is my favorite fusion guitarist. Great stuff.

For Jazz, I like the Braxton Brothers album Rollin'. Most of it is instrumental, and I guess you'd classify it as modern as opposed to the older jazz style(s).

It and one of the Jazz Master CDs are the only ones I have so far, but I'm always interested in albums along this vein as well as smooth jazz.

what are some good jazz/blues guitarists that have a basic sound similiar to this?

That jazz medly had the sounds of:
Herb Ellis
Joe Pass
Kenny Burrell
Wes Montgomery

Basically the top 4 Jazz guitarmen of all time.:thumb:

anything from Miles Davis,Autechre and David Bowie ;D three totally different artists but totally excellent

I'm recently into Miles Davis and I'm trying some John McLaughlin, but I can't find much of his stuff. Any links to his material would be appreciated.

What's the essential Weather Report album? Preferably one with Jaco would be nice.

I still can't get over Teen Town.
