Who do you listen to?

Post by Talon » Fri Aug 05, 2005 11:52 am

What are people's favorite jazz artists?

Of course, it'll probably be difficult to make a specific list, but you can list a few.

I'll start it off with just one of mine:

Miles Davis

It is all about Charlie Parker for me! Nothing in the world compares to listening to the sweet sounds coming out of his horn.

Let's not forget about Josh Redman. Let's also not forget about the Phat Band and such performers as Wayne Bergeron, etc.

To be honest, since I play professionally, music doesn't relax me to listen to it recreationally. I love old time radio (OTR). But even these shows have great musicians.

For you fellow tubists, I suggest you listen to the Fat Man (American version, not the Australian version). The theme music is a virtuistic tuba solo. Most of the shows had wonderful orchestras. Radio stations used to hire a complete in-house orchestra that worked a full 35+ hour week on the air about 60-70 years ago.

There were also musical shows that were great, too.

Y'all should try out Gordon Goodwin's Big Phat Band.

Besides the lists already posted, I like Chuck Mangione, and Arturo Sandoval.
