I suggest you try the music of a little known band from England called "Inkubus Sukkubus" (yes that is the spelling). You may have to buy their CDs as Imports. They are a Goth band. Yeah, I know slightly out of style, but give them a try. \n\n"Dead can Dance"  may be to your liking. Sounds like a goth group, but I wouldn't call them that. \n\nIf you like Dido, or Enya, I'd suggest Lorenna McKennit.\n\nAlso, don't be afraid of something because it's "old", in other words, give Alice Cooper a listen. \n\nFinding music isn't hard. \n\nSorry, I can't suggest any "hip-hop".....

A new friend of mine just recommended Anthony and the Johnsons to me...you should take a listen to them if you get a chance.

Garage Band, or Sony Acid Xpress

Anything YellowJackets...\nSonny Rollins, Wes Montgomery, David "Fathead" Newman, Sonny Stitt, Woody Shaw, Chic Corea, Hubert Laws. Any one of these are guaranteed...and there are more that I like, but might be too much for a light jazz inquiry. It gets more complex as you get more familiar with it. It might take a while to "get into the groove." This will get you started, and guaranteed, you will like it!\nP.S. Richard's got some good ones too!!!\nEddie Daniels (clarinet)-excellent stuff...

I recommend making use of seventh chords, swinging eighth notes, rests and syncopation. Good luck.\n\nUse famous jazz works as inspiration!

Try bongwater or Flaming Lips. Earlier groups you might try are 13th Floor Elevators or Incredible String Band.

You've picked two of my 3 favourite bands (the 3rd being Nevermore) to start with.  Good start... :)\n\nIn the Opeth direction...\n\nOther bands Mike Akerfeldt's been involved with are a good place to start; try\nEdge of Sanity\nKatatonia\nBloodbath\nAyreon\nPorcupine Tree\n\nSimilar style and progressive mentality:\nEnslaved\nCynic\nFarmakon\nDead Soul Tribe\nInto Eternity\nOrphaned Land\n\nAnd Tool... well, they're a creature apart.  No-one's quite like them; that said, a list would be similar to the above, really, except for the (obvious) addition of A Perfect Circle to the mix.

Miles Davis. THis man traanslated raw emotion into sound waves. if you listen to B*****s Brew (a 30 minute song) you are taken on a journey, where he carries you from where you are to somewhere else emotionally and intellectually. Also like Thelonius Monk and John Coltrane, and for newer stuff, some of the members of The Roots (super famous and innovative hip hop group) started a jazz band called The Philadelphia Experiment that is pretty great too.

Old Chili Peppers, some new if desired\nAnything Funk (real stuff)\nJazz (you'll never be bored)\n\nOh, here's an idea to help cure boredom. Put in something that has an easy overall line to follow. Usually pop stuff or modal jazz is good. For whatever you choose, plug in, and listen for a little while. Don't concern yourself with the "bass line." Just try to listen for a little while. Then, when you're ready, play over the top of whatever the band is already playing. Don't mimic what you hear. Create beyond what you hear. Pretend you are on stage with that group, only the crowd is there to see you, as a soloist. The CD is merely an accompanist. \n\nIt will feel weird at first, especially if you've never tried improvizing before, but try it. Don't worry so much about WHAT notes to play, but rather HOW to play whatever notes you choose. \n\nflame122112@yahoo.com

I love jazz. I love Mingus, Coltrane, Duke, mostly older stuff.
