Miles Davis, perhaps?

[Искра]

I like him. But everyone knows for him :)

Also, my favorites are J.J. Johnson, Kai Winding and Al Gray. I love trombone. Sony Stitt is also cool.

I'm here looking for more obscure stuff which I didn't encounter so far.

So helpful!

Here's another good link, I don't know if you've ever heard of it or not: www.google.com (http://www.google.com)

Assholes.

So you probably know Davis and Coltrane. Probably Mingus? Dave Brubeck, John Zorn, Herbie Hancock, Ornette Coleman, Jaco Pastorius, Jaga Jazzist?

[kurr]

Assholes.
lol. Get over it, bro. We are spoiled with a wealth of resources in this day and age to discover music. Nevermind the fact that Wikipedia has lists of artists depending on the genre. Nevermind that you can run those artists over to Allmusic where they have reviews of damn near every record ever released and a personal rating. Nevermind that you can THEN go to Youtube and listen to tracks from whatever artist. But, hey, what do I know?

yeah badbadnotgood is great. forgot to mention them.

[Pirate Utopian]

Most jazz I like is the fusion jazz kind, Roy Ayers and stuff. I got into it through the GTA IV radio station Fusion FM.

[Ostrinski]

Mahavishnu Orchestra and Frank Zappa are good progressive jazz fusion.

[Искра]

Yeah, I've listend to Coltrane, Coleman etc. My father is into free-jazz... I'll check the rest.

I don't know a lot about jazz but I want to learn. I love Coltrane, Charlie Parker and Stan Getz, stuff like that.

This is from Yahoo answers opccaisionally there intelligent replies)

What is the best way to learn about jazz?
I'm interested in learning about jazz. All periods but primarily the "be bop" era (if that's the right term) of people like Charlie Parker, Coltrane, etc from the late 40s/50s,Are there recommended books and or CD collections? I'm interested in the history of jazz and also learning how to listen. I'm sure that when I hear a piece, I'm missing a lot because I don't have a musical background.

Are there recommended books, writings, collections to help me learn? I mostly grew up on classic rock but I want to musically expand.

The best way to learn about a type of music is to play it. Get some musically proficient-type cats together and just start playing some tunes. No better way to learn how to play, or listen, to a style of music than when it's been thrust upon you in a performance setting.

Learning about the history is easy: just find some resources online about the history of jazz and the artists, and read up! Wikipedia is a good source. Don't buy into the whole "anyone can edit it, so it's useless!" scene, because it really is a good source. You ever see their Resources sections on their pages? Like a damn thesis paper, every one of their articles.

When I took a college course in jazz back in the 70's, the "text book" was the classic Miles Davis Album, "Kind of Blue". The course was taught by Mark Gridley, who at the time was writing, "Jazz Styles", now in its 11th edition. The book has been used at colleges for a number of years.

The Ken Burns series that ran on PBS, and should be available on DVD, is also an excellent intro to the history and styles of Jazz. YouTube also has a wealth of live footage, and recordings from the period that you are interested in.

do you want to play jazz or just listen to it? the way i'm learning jazz is through the study of jazz standards, having a jazz instructor and learning music theory. if you want to learn to listen to jazz do it by simply listening to more jazz, over time you will learn what you like or dislike.

Everyone and their mother knows Miles Davis and John Coltrane. The OP is looking for obscure artists (I'm guessing to seem like he is more in the know about Jazz than the folks he's hanging with). Jesus christ, people.

Joe Harriott was a saxophonist in Britain in the 60's who made some fantastic albums based on a fusion of Jazz and Indian music.

Tubby Hayes is also worth checking out, a fantastic sax player.

You say your dad is into free jazz does that mean you are not or that you know about this tremendously rich mine of music?
