When I was younger i thought jazz was old people crap but now I love jazz. I really like smooth jazz thats on the radio and acid jazz too.
The best thing I love about jazz are the horn and/or piano solos. I've tried listening to Herbie Hancock but I dont like anything of his except for Stitched Up and A Song For You (from the new album). I also have a few Ray Charles songs too. I always thought a true jazz listener needed to have John Coltrane, Dizzy Gillespie, Nina Simone, Miles Davis, Duke Ellington, and Theolonious Monk on their playlists so I listened 2 alot of samples of thiers on iTunes and I dont like it. I dont mean any disrespect because I think these artists are still great at what they did. But most of their music is a very slow and repetitive sound with long 8 min. songs and no vocals. I really love jazz and I wanna listen 2 someone who was a real classic but I dont like any of them. So does any1 have any advice? or suggestions?
