I've listened to some world music out of curiosity and I've really liked some things, especially from African countries or those with Moorish influences. I like the Putumayo albums, I think they offer good selections for people who don't know much about it but are interested in the real thing. Peter Gabriel has also done a good job bringing good composers and interpreters from around the world to attention.

Old school big band and swing.  Benny Goodman, Ella Fitzgerald, Rosemary Clooney, Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Glenn Miller, Dinah Washington oooooooooooh so much good stuff.  \n\nNo I'm not  a senior citizen, if you may think so.  I'm 17.  I just like the vintage jazz.

Yep, I'm 20 and I share your fondness for jazz. I've been listening to Kind of Blue by Miles Davis recently and it always puts me in a relaxed and happy mood. I also really like Nina Simone, what a funky lady! I prefer more upbeat jazz to the slow, sort of schmaltzy kind - but it's all good. Take Five is an awesome song... probably my favourite jazz track that I've heard.

I'm assuming you mean Wynton Marsalis.  Personally, I don't like his music very much.  His father (Ellis: piano player) and brother (Brandon: saxophonist) are much better.

Let's see...I'm a big fan of both Jazz and hip hop and the artists I listen to I find that they all usually have a common style because of the producer they worked with.  Below is a list of [*=producers] who I'm listening to now, and some of their work:\n\n*9th wonder-\n     Little Brother (The Listening; The Minstrel Show)\n\n*James "Jay Dee" Yancey aka Jay Dilla (RIP)-\n     A Tribe Called Quest (The Low End Theory; Midnight \n     Marauders; The Love Movement), The Pharcyde \n     (Labcabincalifornia), Common (Like Water for Chocolate)\n\nGuru (from Gangstarr)-\n     Jazzamatazz vol 1-3\n\n*Pete Rock-\n     Pete Rock & CL Smooth (Mecca and the Soul Brother) \n\nThere is many more that probably should be on this list, but this is all I can think of off the top of my head. Most of the music I listen to utilize a lot of jazz samples and integrate them into their music in very obscure ways...very creative ways. Tip: find a producer(s) that you like and stay with them ;-D

If you're looking for some CDs go for the Mushroom Jazz compilations by Mark Farina.  There's been a bunch of them over the years...they're all good.  A mix of Dub, Trip hop, Jazz

I don´t know who actually plays, but most jazz music at Everwood is from Art Tatum. Hope it helps.

Jazz is an improvisation in linear harmony. It can use 9ths, 11ths, 13ths and basic interval chord structures.  If you are truly interested in it, I would recommend you invest in a couple of basic jazz theory books. The following link has several choices. All are great books to help understand and appreciate the complexities of jazz.

You asked, and I'm telling you... it is Dave Lombardo!!! The man is a freakin' genius. He inspired me so much to improve my drumming... and he is an incredible awesome dude in person. Genuinely down to earth.

I know Thelonious Monk played with him on some sessions, but I think the main guy you're looking for is McCoy Tyner. Who has plenty of solo stuff (and is still alive!!!!!!)

John Coltrane, Sonny Rollins, Coleman Hawkins\n(It's tenor, not tennor)
