| Online Jazz A great online listening source for jazz content is Accujazz.com. The online radio station has music broken out by decades, schools of jazz, instrument and a lot of other ways. It gives a listing of the artists that make up the selection you are listening to and shows the album currently playing as well as the last two selections. They also have another station, accuradio.com which has rock, classical and other musical categories. It's great for anyone trying to get a backround in jazz or any other type of music. Definitely worth a listen. Enjoy. |

| Hi Guys and Gals! When I was a young man (1950s) here in Fort Worth, Texas, Blacks as well as Hispanics were denied entrance to many white clubs. But, I, being fair skin and speaking English well, thanks to the nuns who taught me I would go in to white clubs (or lounges as they were called then). The following week I would take a dark Hispanic girl and we were not allowed to go in. Wanting to show my date a good time I would take her to a Hispanic night club and guess what the Hispanics there wanted to beat the hell out of me. I at the time was working with some Hispanics who grew in the South East part of Fort Worth, a predominately black community. My Hispanic coworkers spoke and danced just like blacks. Telling them of my situation with white folks and Hispanics they invited me to go enjoy the music at the black clubs that abounded in South East Fort Worth. There, I fell in love with the black man's music and mode of dancing. I saw and got to meet guys like Lou Rawls, Sonny Stitt, Gene Ammons, Etta James, B. B. King, Lowell Fulson, T. Bone Walker, Bobby Blue Bland, Larry Williams, Arnette Coleman, plus many other great black artists that at the time their music was not allowed to air on white radio stations. Needless to say I bought a lot of these fine artist's music and still have it today. My favorite jazz artist bar none has to be Gene Ammons. A close second is Sonny Stitt. You guys can have the rest of them. Yes, I know they are great by Gene Ammons was so smooth and his selection of songs was awesome. Hey, I forgot to say that another group that ranks high with me is none other than Bill Doggett. Need I say more? Thanks for allowing me to vent my love for this great and now gone artists who not many knew about. Sad to say! James Gino Reza Last edited by James Gino Reza : 02-12-2010 at 01:44 PM. Reason: made a mistake |

| best guitar players albums that I know I love guitar, so I can give you my opinion about what I consider really music of great quality played by some of my favourite guitarists. Here a list of my preferite ones: (there're many others, obviously) - Al DiMeola - 1990 - The Grande Passion (music from Piazzolla; I think Piazzolla was really a genious in composition, while Di Meola is one of the best music arrangers that I know) - Trio da Paz - Partido Out (I love this album! Romero Lubambo is the guitarist; listen "Song for Kaya" composed by him!) - Al DiMeola, Paco De Lucia, John McLaughlin - The Guitar Trio 1996 (do not miss this album) - Bireli Lagrene-Acoustic Moments (people tell that Bireli was a talent since he was a child; listening to his solos I've begun to believe in these voices...) - Bireli Lagrene-Foreign Affairs - Bireli Lagrene - Standards - Pat Metheny - One Quiet Night (it's only guitar, really quiete music, I think it's not easy to understand it, you've to be very relaxed and let you follow the notes, the sounds, without any thoughts...than you start to appreciate it) - Pat Metheny all the music! (too many albums to mention, forgive me) - Frank Gambale - The Great Explorers (maybe it's more fusion than Jazz, but I can't not mention the album that I've been listening for months and months, dreaming with the marvellous solos of Frank) PS: forgive me, but I've to admit that I feel bored when I listen old music and standards from Joe Pass, Charlie Parker, George Benson, and all the big of the past...I don't know why...maybe I'm not able to understand them Last edited by palocchino : 02-12-2010 at 03:56 PM. |

| Where can I find "The 100 best jazz guitarists"? Hi, looking for the list of the 100 best jazz guitarists list - can someone send a link? When it comes to best jazz albums the contemporary and relativly recent jazz albums are a bit underrepresented: The albums by John McLaughlin and The Mahavishnu Orchestra, "Belonging" with Jarret, Garbarek etc. and lo-o-o-ng row of the excellent albums on the ECM label produced by Manfred Eicher revitalized jazz - and is a huge treasure box of music. |

 Inclusions Hello Everyone: this is my first post, so I'll be quick. Lists are always imperfect and always tendencious - they tend to show more about those who make it than about what is listed. But who can resist them? Anyway, I would include in the top 100 the Getz/Gilberto featuring Antonio Carlos Jobim album; and also the Sinatra/Jobim album (well, my favorite Jobim jazz album is WAVE; Jobim and bossa-nova renewed jazz music in a way (Sinatra and Getz got their careers again after they met Jobim - they were practically forgotten to museums and alcohol when they recorded bossa-nova) that maybe only Miles ever did - and very curiously, Miles was a big fan of Brazilian Music (for instance, Milton Nascimento, Hermeto Pascoal, Airto Moreira, Egberto Gismonti were his idols and fans and friends) but never was a good recorder of brazilian music (his recordings of Jobim's compositions are very below the average, a pity...); João Gilberto's Amoroso album is also beautiful, Claus Oggerman is the arranger, but not his best (Diana Krall openly copied the same arrangements recently). And I would also include one Eumir Deodato album (anyone, pick it up). As to the musicians, as a tremendous performer I suggest Jobim himself: impossible to be more cool on the piano (cool, concise, precise and his harmonies, oh my, his harmonies... Listen to The Composer of Desafinado Plays and you'll get a glimpse of what I'm saying... too bad his USA lyricists were not as good as he himself was when originally composing in Portuguese...) thanks for this wonderful list to you all! all the best. casterod. |

| I don't think I posted here before. Anyway, I love and hate these types of lists at the same time: on the one hand, I find out how much I have never listened to (or even heard of sometimes), on the other hand, I am not a Bill Gates or I'd go get them ALL. Anyway, here are some of my top non-guitar listenings, in no order. My own favorites can change as soon as I get a new CD or hear something tremendous that I haven't heard before: which happens constantly. a) Miles -- Kind of Blue, Complete Birth of the Cool, Milestones, Miles Smiles, On Green Dolphin Street, Four and More. b) Coltrane-- Giant Steps, Love Supreme, Crescent, Impressions, Blue Train, Ascension, Ballads c) Lee Morgan-- Sidewinder, the one with Ceora on it (?) d) Dexter Gordon: Go!, Ballads e) Charlie Parker: Yardbird Suite collection, the Washington recordings, Bird with Strings Chick Corea: Now he Sings, Now he Sighs; Return to Forever, second Return to Forever albun Joe Henderson: Inner Urge Herbie Hancock: Maiden Voyage Keith Jarrett----Koln Concert, Standard Live, Still Live, Standards Vol.1 Wayne Shorter: Juju, Speak No Evil. Clifford Brown :Alone Together Ella and Oscar etc... |

| These lists are great. You can truly see the giants of jazz' golden age. I'd add that almost anything by Chet Baker, esp from his Pacific Jazz years, would fit in nicely. One question - How did Mahavishnu make it onto the original list though? Wasn't the whole band built around John McLaughlin? |

| Many great albums on the list, though I do miss Lester Young a lot (not the frantic JATP efforts, but his recordings with Basie and his own recordings from the 1940s were great). I do miss Ella and Louis too. And only one Ellington album is not enough - he deserves at least 10 on the list . |
