Uhhh ... Anyone who doesn't like these is, well, borderline insane.



Really cool way of watching Giant Steps.

Miles Davis Great choice, Trollheart. I'd agree with Burning Down: More Miles.
Concha Buika (Latin Jazz) and Jamie Cullum (Jazz-pop) maybe artists whose albums you might find enjoyable.

Yay Trollheart! I'm so happy to hear that!

My recommendation would be Blues & Roots by Charles Mingus. It doesn't sound much like Kind of Blue but it's an album I really enjoy. It's very bluesy, which I think you'd enjoy, and course it was made by one of the most legendary composers/musicians in all of jazz so it's well worth a listen.




Also, you might be interested in A Love Supreme by John Coltrane. It's a great album that's more in the direction of Kind of Blue. In fact Coltrane was in Miles' band on Kind of Blue.

Oh no no no! I bloody hate big band music (though I can listen to "In the mood" and "Moonlight serenade" but that's about it)

Thanks Jansz. I'll hop on those right away!

I'm curious what are the reasons behind this hate for big band music and does it translate over to orchestra as well.

No I love orchestral music. I think it's probably all the brass in big band: I just don't like too much brass. And the fact that it's all linked with the forties and so on. I don't like the forties. Meh who knows? I just don't enjoy big band music, especially when they bloody start singing! Urgh!

Also, I don't have to actually have a reason to hate a certain genre: we're not all built the same, as I've said before. Some music just does not speak to me. That's just the way it is. I don't like hip-hop, don't like punk, don't like much dance music if any and now I don't like big band. There are probably reasons for all of these but I don't really feel I need to be explaining myself, do I?

No you don't have to explain yourself but I was just curious and seeing as this is a music forum I thought I would discuss it with you if you didn't mind.

Better watch out for Janszoon, he'll crucify you for saying something like that.
