I don't listen to it too often, but when I do I always hear myself saying, why don't I listen to more jazz...this is good stuff!
What are your favorite albums? Mine tend towards the obvious nods, such as "A Love Supreme" and "Kind of Blue."

I love all kinds of music, but Jazz is high on the list.
One of my favorite albums is...
"Light As A Feather" by Chick Corea
If we're talking old stuff, you can't hardly beat Charlie Parker, Etta James, or Ella Fitzgerald.

No, because jazz is best listened to live.
The only problem is that most of the time it's just each player waiting for his "turn" (to masturbate with their instrument). So, the bass player gives it a ****, then everyone gives a little golf clap, and the drummer buds in, then we're all supposed to clap for him.......
Gets very tiring, as you feel like these guys are just doing it to hear themselves.

I love smooth Jazz and can not get enough of it. I'm listening to a Jazz cd that a friend made me and it is great.
