anyone here into JAZZ??

[toni_dawg35]

i just recently got into jazz... i came across this jazz bassist named Wayman Tisdale at my work at umg and i really got into his stuff. i found out also that he used to be a basketball player for the suns in the nba... multitalanted guy... anyway hes coming out with a new cd at the end of the month and if you guys are into jazz or just smooth music you should check him out- waymantisdale.com- you can listen to the new cd there.

Being a Nazi, I hate jazz.
I havn't really looked into Jazz much, but the stuff I have heard I don't really like.

Jazz influenced stuff like Atheist and some Dream Theater I do like.

Pat Metheny is an outstanding guitarist, and I don't even need to comment on Pastorius :D.

You might like some fusion jazz/rock stuff like Mahavishnu Orchestra.

Meanwhile, have you heard Cynic? Tony Choy played bass for both Cynic and Atheist.

Herbie Hancock's 'Maiden Voyage' is an overlooked jazz masterpiece. If ye have the facilities, I recommend ye obtain.

Django Reinhardt is great - he was Tony Iommi's (Black Sabbath) biggest guitar influence.

If you like Django, you'll probably also like Eddie Lang. Lang came slightly earlier than Django, but they're both awesome jazz guitarists.
