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...

You should listen to jazz and soul. (Ray Charles for example)\nClassic Rock is cool too. (I suggest Fleetwood Mac)\nPop and hip hop are cool for dancing and lisening to.\n\nI also suggest an awesome soundtrack: The RENT MOVIE soundtrack. You should watch the movie or buy the album. Those are my favorite songs ever.

I recommend Tosca, De Phazz, anything by Couch records. Nice, smooth downtempo. It gives the air of sophistication, and promotes stimulating conversation.

Find some music by Mike Oldfield.  He is a zydeco/modern jazz composer.  His music is _perfect_ for that.  You can find his music by doing a search for his name.  You might remember "Tubular Bells" from his early days.  It was one of his first big hits.

If you're going to go for "illegal", I would definitely recommend in this order:\n\nMorpheus\nBearShare\nLimewire\n\nBUT, if you are willing to pay what I consider DECENT prices for music, I do recommend RealPlayer's online music store. You can purchase a single track for .99 cents but if you want the whole CD more than often you can buy it for 7.99. \n\nNow here is what I do...\n\nI bought a copy of Morpheus Ultra for use for songs, and I pay for songs/cd's on Real. I usually purchase tracks/Cd's that I like through Real, even though I know most of the money goes to the bloodsuckers at the record companies. I use Morpheus for when it comes to remixes or rare songs that I can't buy on Real. Though I don't feel that P2P is wrong because I usually buy a CD if I like it anyhow, I do feel that even if it's 5 cents the artist should receive something since they signed with a label that was going to milk them in the first place.\n\nAlso, though I don't know what genre you're into when it comes to music, there are certain artists that know it's inevitable that you are going to P2P music files that are theirs. For instance, Green Day... they created a writable CD for you to buy from them off their website, then you burn all of your fave P2P tracks onto it, so they still get a cut of the money. I see that as very fair. \n\nEither way, have fun with the music, it's there for YOU, so enjoy the hell out of it and don't get caught by the Feds because they are sucky when it comes to prosecution.

That depends. If you're looking for a student line horn go with a Yamaha YAS 23. If you're looking for a professional model, there is no one best saxophone. Here is what I recommend: there is a store in South Bend, IN called the Woodwind and Brasswind. They have tons of instruments, and you can try them all. You need to call ahead and reserve instruments to try out, and you can normally try out about ten. Most professional Alto Saxes run around $3,500. You should try the following: 4 Selmer Paris Series III's, 2 Yanikasawas in that same price range, 1 Yamaha Custom X, 1 Yamaha Custom Z, and a keilwerth.  Those are all the big name horns, and are all very good. If you can't make it to South Bend, you can have them ship you three saxes at a time to try them out. I have had my series three for a little while now, and I LOVE it. It is a very bright horn, and plays amazingly. I play with a Selmer C* mouth piece (which comes with any selmer paris sax). If you don't get a selmer, buy one, because they are the best classical mouthpieces out there. For Jazz I would recommend a Meier Mouthpiece  (be sure to try out several different kinds to find the one you like). If you are looking for an amazing jazz saxophone, try looking at a few Selmer Mark IV's. They run anywhere from $3000 to $5000 and up.

Anything by Dave Brubeck, Stan Getz, Miles Davis, John Coltrane would be a good place to start,I don't have enough time to list every song.

I'd go with the two cd's from Asleep at the Wheel that are tribute albums to Bob Wills. Both have a ton of guest singers doing Bob Will's songs. Personally I like the 1st one better, it has Merle Haggard, Lyle Lovett, Garth and Johnny Rodriguez + others.

For rock, I like Virgil Donate (2005 Modern Drummer Magazine's best live concert video solo from Steve Vai's London concert video).\nFor other stuff, Dennis Chambers (Santana, Niacin, John Scofield, John Mclaughlin, Herby Hancock, and other jazz greats).
