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
@fthompson251 if you’re into smooth jazz I’ve got a good one. Gato Barbieri had a plethora of jazz albums from 1975. His best selling was titled Caliente. It was a hot album. Here’s his take on a well known Santana tune Europa. https://youtu.be/FIRI6CvtO6o?si=negkZkW-p-vtPxLd and a Marvin Game tune I Want You |
It's been mentioned several times, worth a mention again- must be at the top of the list for "jazz for the beginners" due to the rigid timing structure and sax melody Take Five- Brubeck You must be familiar with it already @fthompson251 ? What are your thoughts of this? Don't worry, you won't ruffle my feathers :) |
