Can you recommend Jazz for some one that doesn't like Jazz?
Let me explain, I have tried to like jazz for over 30 years. I rarely find something I like. To me it sounds too disjointed, like everyone is trying to out do the others and they are all playing a different song. I know there has to be some good instrumental smooth jazz artists I am missing. If you have any suggestions of whom to try let me know. Some that are on my Jazz playlist is Pat Metheny-"It's for you" Bill Frisell _"Heard it through the grapevine" Holly Cole, George Benson... for an example of things I do like.
I'd love to have a 100 song Jazz playlist. So what'ch got for me?
Thanks
I was not at all scolding and was not directing that statement to ANY suggestion. I was merely pointing out how hard it is to predict reactions to any piece of music or artist. The example I gave was of someone whose music seems universally likable, at least to me, yet others would disagree. That is why threads like this are helpful—a wide selection of music is suggested. |
Hello, I have not read the whole exchange, but I'll give you a fine recommendation: subscribe to JazzRadio.com. There are 45 stations with all kinds of different jazz genres, and you can always find something you like. There is a free program, but subscription to their highest resolution MP3 cost only $9 per month. Music is very good, and it sounds very good. I love it. I hope this helps

Jazz covers a lot of different types. I suggest you listen to WDCD.org to get a taste of what you may enjoy. They play a lot of excellent jazz and cover most types. That's how I got into Jazz. You may be surprised what you hear. They also play the blues. They don't play the same play list either, you'll hear different stuff every day. Also some of the DJ's are Jazz musicians themselves. WDCB is a really good place to hear Jazz.... |
@mksun If you like some Stan Getz infused Bossa Nova check this out on youtube. I think you’re gonna dig this. Tamba 4: Samba Blim ℗ 1968 The Verve Music Group - CTI Division of UMG Recordings, Inc. Released on: 1968-01-01 Composer Lyricist: Orlan Divo Composer Lyricist: Helton Menezes
@stuartk Although I’ve never quite heard of Gato Barbieri’s playing described in such a way... Stu, when I read this, I bust out laughing! |
