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.

Could someone recommend me some stuff that is similar to Mahavishnu Orchestra.

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

Any ideas for some slow thoughtful bittersweet modern jazz?

The best album with Jaco is Heavy Weather, but that's not to say it is the only good Weather Report album.

Okay now not all of these are funk, but at least its R&B and soul and what not.

What else is kinda like Kool & The Gang, Bill Withers, Change/Luther Vandross, and Ohio Players?

Not all of them combined...just each one in particular.

I'm a fan of black market

I'm wondering where would be a good starting point for Sun Ra?

Space is the Place or Atlantis

EDIT: He's pretty hard to get into

[I]Lanquidity[/I] for Sun Ra.

Hey guys, I'd like some help with Jazz.

I basically downloaded my first propper jazz album over the weekend which was John Coltrane's [I]Giant Steps[/I]. This is the first time that the genre has really caught a spark in me, and has spurred me to want to find more albums/artists like this. So what are some good Jazz records that I should start with?

P.S sorry I'm sure you get this all the time, but if it's not too much trouble it'd be appreciated.

Booker Ervin's [I]Blues Book[/I]
Clifford Brown's [I]Study in Brown[/I], [I]At Basin Street[/I], and [I]Clifford Brown & Max Roach[/I]
Horace Silver's [I]Song For My Father[/I] & [I]Blowin' Away The Blues[/I]
Joe Henderson's [I]Inner Urge[/I], [I]Live in Japan[/I], and [I]Four![/I]
Lou Donaldson's [I]Blue Walk[/I]
Nat Adderley's [I]Work Song[/I]
Oliver Nelson's [I]The Blues & The Abstract Truth[/I]
Phil Woods' [I]Musique Du Bois[/I]
Sonny Clark's [I]Sonny Clark Trio[/I] & [I]Cool Struttin'[/I]
Sonny Rollins' [I]Tenor Madness[/I], [I]Alfie[/I], and [I]The Bridge[/I]

I can upload if asked.

Thanks alot man, I'll start working my way through these. If you could upload a couple of your favorites aswell that'd be appreciated. E-mail in my profile.

[I]Miles Davis[/I] - Kind of Blue
[I]John Coltrane[/I] - A Love Supreme (Arguable one of the best Jazz recordings in existance)
[I]Charles Mingus[/I] - The Black Saint and The Sinner Lady

There are tonnes more - but those three albums are a must and an excellent introduction into the wonderful world of Jazz.
