Jazz Again

After a 30 year absence from the music scene I find my self yearning for just the rite music to buy to get back in the swing again. This is where you come in! Instead of me going out and foolishly spending good money on music I don't like, I will take your suggestions. I have all of Pink Floyd, Who, Ledzeplin, etc. but am looking for the best jazz I can find. I like sultry sacks and horns, heck anything sultry! Yes, I have read and copied the threads previously written on jazz but would like you to narrow it down. Thanks in advance, Lon

I am a huge Jazz fan. I have a library of several thousands titles, many are what I consider mainstream Jazz.

There are dozens of labels that turned out great music by well known Jazz artists. But if I had to direct you to what I consider the mother lode, it would be the two site links below.

If your taste runs more to abstract Jazz, this company has some of the best ever recorded. I have one complete shelf of their offerings too.

If your in the mood for easy going contemporary Jazz that doesn't come off like elevator music, this company has recorded some excellent artists. I am particularly fond of their live on location work.

For the most complete data base on these greats, including everything they recorded and who they recorded with, follow this link.

http://www.allmusic.com/

This is my favorite music information site, it has light reviews, comments about the artists style, their influences and followers.

You should be able to come up with enough great material to keep you in your music chair for a week. Good luck with your quest.
