Jazz

[Avante]

I do have one CD's of Miles Davis, Louis Armstrong, Jellyroll Morton, Billie Holliday. And a compilation featuring John Cotrane and some others. That's about it for me when it comes to jazz music. Obviously being a blues freak I'm going to come in contact with jazz. The two did kinda come together early on when jazz bands backed female blues singers like Ma Rainey and Bessie Smith. Jellyroll Morton a jazz piano player also did some straight blues. Satchmo did some straight blues.

I just never really warmed up to it for some reason. And I don't know why, I should dig it, but I don't. And I have gave it a listen, I've tried to get it, what am I missing? I do like the females singers backed by jazz bands. But guys like Charlie Parker, Charles Christian, Art Tatum just don't rev my engines, I'm guessing it's me.

I did bone up on if I needed one jazz album what would it be.........yep, that one. That's the Miles Davis I own. I need the setting/mood to be too perfect for it to work.

Damn... you don't know him ? it's rather modern, european, quite specific. Dude is swedish, trompetist and for me a genius.

Start with the album The Mask one of his most well known work.

I saw him a lot in concert especially in Montreux... good stuff

One of the best times I spent listening his music was while playing checks with a good friend, smoking a cigar with a glass of cognac, henessy X.O Odyssey my favorite
