Jazz oh yes

[PorkPi]

OK y'all. There must be a few people that can dig this thread. Post your favorite jazz pieces and discuss. I'm looking for some new music.

I've been wanting to get into jazz pretty badly but I just never knew where to start as far as artists go.

Goddamn't I was going to post First Circle. Metheny is a badass. I remember playing that song in my highschool's Jazz 1 band.

I think I might like jazz. The closest thing I've listened to jazz would be the post-rock band, Do Make Say Think.
Might I enjoy anything else like this?

I've never really liked Jazz, but I've always loved the Lisa Simpson Baker Street cover.

I had next to no idea either, I mostly looked into the composers of songs we played in the school's jazz bands. The jazz I listen to is based more on songs than artists.

Are there any videos of you performing in your school bands?

EDIT: wait nevermind that first vid was you.

No that wasn't me. That's from the Berkeley jazz school, which is why you probably recognize some of them.

[Danimal]

This is the only Jazz I have, anyone got shit to recommend?

 

[MorganFreeman911]

Oh god, Jazz. I love so many...
Chet Baker, Miles (of course), Dizzie Gillespie, Louis Armstrong, Robin Shier, Alan Matheson, Bill Watrous (I get to meet him next week!), Michael Buble, Frank Sinatra, Bobby Darin, and the list keeps going on. I'm not too much of a fan of Charlie Parker, though. But I do love me some Coltrane.

 

[thefiznut]

Sun Ra is my absolute favorite jazz artist.
His works are never boring.

These guys have restored my faith in modern jazz:

I feel this could turn the head of anyone who thinks they don't like jazz.

I started hunting a jazz club down here in the UK whilst I was at Uni, but couldnt find one within a realistic travelling distance.

Would love to go to one at some point though. Probably the coolest place you could ever hangout or have a date.
