start out with some miles davis, like early stuff 40's and 50's stuff, like birth of the cool or even kind of blue. Then if u like that move on to some john coltrane, like A Love Supreme or Blue Train. Then if you like that u will hopefully gain enough knowledge out of intrest to discover new types of jazz on your own, once you get there, there is no coming back

Well, my all time favorite jazz artist is Nina Simone. No one compares to her in my opinion. She is soooo soulful and her music can give me chills,

Another favorite of mine is Marilyn Scott. She isn't in the same catagory as Nina. She is more in the smooth jazz catagory. I just bought her new album "Handpicked" and was delighted to hear a cover of Peter Gabriel's "In Your Eyes". That song has always been one of my favorites. Check them both out!

nina simone is a true legend

soundgardenrox · 09-18-2005, 04:29 PM

Mahavishnu Orchestra anyone? Thelonious Monk and Coltrane, just send chills down my spine! And Ornette Coleman is really good as well. And ofcourse, the great, Miles Davis.
