The other question is what kind of jazz? Dixieland? Bigband?
​
Now I like Bigband (sing sing sing - with Gene Krupa, Glenn Miller and Harry James ... 7 min 40 sec of bliss) and I like Billie Holiday on blues anyday. I also go with Jar on Tommy Dorsey and Song of India. Artie Shaw, Begin the Beguine, is also in there. Holiday also sang for Shaw and Miller and Goodman, so those are bonus for me.
​
When it comes to modern stuff, I like it small group, thoughtful. Miles.
​
I don't like riffin on as many notes as you can include in a minute kind of stuff. A lot of modern stuff is like this, and to me it is just technical craftmanship without soul.

My dad just bought Take Five, by Dave Brubek.
​
I saw him (Dave) play it live when I was in college ... in the 60's ... awesome experience.

Fingernails manipulating a chalkboard, that is what jazz is to me.
​
like opera is cats on a back fence?

I heard Wynton got his first horn from Al Hirt.
​
http://www.wyntonmarsalis.net/main1.html has some soundtracks
​
One of the few cross-over artists that is able to stand tall in both classical and jazz worlds.
​
Brother Branford not bad either.

Re: Brubeck
