And i'm talking about jazz legends like: Miles Davis, Billie Holiday, Chet baker, Louis Armstrong, Sonny Rollins, Art Blakey, Thelonious Monk, Charles Mingus, Charlie Parker, Ella Fitzgerald, Oscar Peterson, Toots Thielemans, [ from my home country Belgium] Dizzy Gillespie, John Coltrane, Stan Getz, Duke Ellington, Sarah Vaughan, Wayne Shorter, Count Basie, Django Reinhardt etc.
Most people think jazz is only for intellectuals, but i disagree :!:

I listened to Miles Davis's "So What" just this morning. I like Dave Brubeck and Henry Mancini and folks like that as well

I also get into exotic jazz, like Martin Denny and Les Baxter.

So.. yeah. But I like to think of myself as intellectual as well... so.... maybe I'm disproving your point. :wink:

I like the names you gave here, but calling yourself an intellectual is very snobbishly. :roll:

If you like fusion listen too Bitches Brew from Miles Davis, year 1970 :!:

The Blue Note label is one of the best, and Verve ofcourse. :wink:

I have it on 2/lp, but you can find it on 2/cd as a re-release. :wink:

The cover art for 'Bitches Brew' is really gorgeous!

Don't pronounce this name in front of a jazz purist if you want to live :twisted:

Jazz "legends"? A good starting point can be:
- John Coltrane A love supreme
- Miles Davis A kind of blue
- Bill Evans You must believe in spring
- Brad Mehldau Songs (after hearing this one, some asked me "hey, d'you have more jazz stuff?")

But everybody already knows these ones, so I'll add two all-time favorites:
- Charlie Haden The ballad of the fallen
- Oliver Nelson The blues and the abstract truth

Which, of course, is why I never said that.

What's wrong with fusion, and fuck those purists, who do they think they are

kraftwerk's super early stuff, before autobahn was quite interesting, very jazz oriented.

At the hazard of resurrecting a Danny thread, I'm wondering if the members around here have anything to add to this list? I'm starting a serious exploration and I need help! I KNOW NOTHING!

Depends on style...if you want chill melody I'd suggest...Pat methany or...miles davis (you can't go wrong with him) Art Pepper...although nog everything...

I like free-jazz if that counts... Hook up some Cecil Taylor.

bit obvious, but:

i loved this record the first time I heard it, and the more i listen the more i love it. Got to be one of my all-time favourites
