I do love jazz, especially of course Miles Davis and his great recordings. I also like very much Thelonios Monk very much, although I only own his LIVE AT THE IT CLUB cd. I am beginning to appreciate John Coltrane lately. Also, I like very much Duke Ellington.
What do you think about Jazz?

np: "blue train" (john coltrane)
Before soundtracks, I used to listen to jazz music.
I still have my collection in a box, full of Blue Notes artists.
My favourite era was 1955 to 1965: the end of accoustics.
The hard bop style of jazz!

I love Duke Ellington, and others of his era, I enjoy the swing and Big Band sound that relies on jazz motives, and the sort of jazz arrangements that Nelson Riddle did for Rosemary Clooney, Sinatra, etc. - I don't care too much for Dixie-land jazz, though. Schifrin's South of the Border jazz is great, too.

I have a lot of Sinatra, Dean Martin, and other artists along with my scores.

Not even Bossa Nova Sis?
Y'know, Girl From Ipanema, One Note Samba, Desafinado etc.
Loads of Jazz has structure, though I think you'd struggle with Miles Davis's Bitches Brew, stuff like Kind Of Blue and Sketches Of Spain are full of form, melody and structure.
Jazz is a huge minefield and covers so many styles.
OK, many many years ago, I used to enjoy The Manhattan Transfer, but never Miles Davis. It was sad to watch the man.....the guys from I Spy loved him and used to reference him all the time, but I just never got it.
About 2 weeks ago, I saw a bit of a recent Manhattan Transfer concert and turned it off after 10 minutes....too much scattin' for me! What happened to them!! LOL
Way down South
In Birmingham
I mean South
In Alabam

I've been a Jazz fdan for 15 years now, with my favorites being Duke Ellington, Miles Davis (1945-1967), Bill Evans, Freddie Hubbard, Grant Green, Bobby Hutcherson, the so-called "West Coast" Jazz of the 1950s, but my all-time favorite is Charles Mingus.
What do you mean by "the so-called 'West Coast' jazz of the 1950's"? Can you elaborate?
What do you prefer: hard bop or West Coast?

I've loved jazz my whole life. When I was a kid I used to listen to my parents' Basie, Sarah Vaughan, and Ella Fitzgerald records. When I was in high school I was listening to Fats Waller, Louis Armstrong and Billie Holiday. I even met Jabbo Smith and got his autograph when he was touring with the revue ONE MO' TIME.
I've been privileged to have seen in concert Ella, Carmen McRae, Shirley Horn, Betty Carter, Basie with his band, Freddie Hubbard, Woody Shaw, Harry "Sweets" Edison and Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis, the Thad Jones-Mel Lewis big band, Benny Carter, Joe Henderson, Arthur Blythe, Arnett Cobb, Gonzalo Rubalcaba, and others I can't recall right now.
My greatest regrets are having missed Ellington, Miles, and Monk in performance, all of whom I could have seen if I had tried hard enough.
I find something to appreciate in just about every kind of jazz from Jelly Roll Morton to Ornette Coleman. And there's so much great jazz available one can spend a lifetime exploring it and never exhaust all the possibilities.

Depends on how one defines Jazz. I have loads of Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, Ella Fitzgerald, Peggy Lee, Bing Crosby, Mel Tormé, etc., and love them as much as I love to listen to soundtracks, but I'm well aware, that some hardliners wouldn't even mention 'Jazz' and 'Sinatra' in one sentence.
