http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p...ving_Proof.jpg Released October 25, 2010 Living Proof is Buddy Guy's 26th studio album. After nearly fifty years in the music business, this was Buddy's highest charting album ever, peaking at #46 on the main Billboard album chart. The album loosely follows the progression of Buddy Guy's life. "Living Proof was designed partially as an aural autobiography from the legendary Buddy Guy, opening up with the stark summation “74 Years Young,” then running through songs that often address some aspect of a working musician's life." 1. "74 Years Young" 4:34 2. "Thank Me Someday" 5:42 3. "On the Road" 4:11 4. "Stay Around a Little Longer" (feat. B.B. King) 5:00 5. "Key Don't Fit" 5:02 6. "Living Proof" 3:45 7.

I am interested in jazz from the 1920s. Can someone recommend me some artists from that time period that are good? I think a lot of them were orchestras.
I don't like big band swing or later Coltrane Bird Miles Davis stuff, just that exuberant 1920s stuff. Is it Dixieland? I am not sure but I am talking about Ain't She Sweet and Sweet Georgia Brown etc- just rollicking fun music to my ears. |
Id recommend Joe pass For any jazz guitar fan. He's great.

I've been into jazz for a while, and I'm looking for some more underground stuff.
I have a lot of Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Ornette Coleman, John Zorn, etc. Any help would be greatly appreciated.:afro: |

Some underground and less famous jazz/blues artists are: -Bill Cantos: piano and vocals..he does a lot of trio stuff. His music is pretty fresh and writes many original. -Kristin Korb: bassist and vocalist, she used to be in L.A. but moved to Denmark about a year ago. She's influenced by Brazilian/Portuguese style and does a workshop there about once a year. -Sheila Jordan is well known in the jazz world but is not as infamouse as Ella or Billie. She has a very unique/corky style. She has excellent nuances and expression in her sound. -Blossom Deary. Classic jazz piano/vocalist. If you haven't heard her stuff before you might begin to listen and recognize it. A lot of places play her music because it's akin to Frank Sinatra feel. Fairly mellow. -Gerald Clayton looks pretty young, but don't let that fool you. He has been nominated for many Grammys. Most of his stuff is trio. He plays the upright bass. -Esperanza Spalding: another bass and vocalist. Very ecclectic, Latin/jazz infussion. Great music to listen to- very upbeat and expressive. These are just a few suggestions. There are so many underground type artists in jazz. It's so fun to go hear some of the greats online or others in concert and be able to hear how they are influenced by different artsist in their style and interpretation. :) |
Fats Waller was a great pianist/composer during the 20s. His style of unique to that time. Check it out and see if you like his stuff. :) Here are some of his most famous titles "Honeysuckle Rose", "Ain't Misbehavin'" and "Squeeze Me". Hope this helps you in your search for great 20s music!

Dizzy Gillespie's pretty good. Start there. Also try Miles Davis and Charlie Parker. If you like jazz at all, you'll love them.
