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....
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
