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.

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

I seem to remember Joe Satriani being fairly fast. Whether it was listenable was another matter.\n\nAl DiMeola and John McLaughlin do some amazing things playing jazz on acoustic guitar. Pick up a copy of "Friday Night In San Francisco". Just amazing.

Try the Modern Jazz Quartet or Lionel Hampton, best in the biz.

He he, I went from flute to sax too. What you're doing is getting the fingering mixed up. A 'C' on the saxophone is with your middle left finger down, and index up, and a 'B' is only your left index finger down. It's like the recorder in that sense. My suggestion would be to pick up a cheap beginner sax book with a fingering chart in it. Seems like you're getting an ok sound too if you can figure out something's wrong like that.\nA quick talk with a saxophone teacher or experienced player to help you with youre embechure (mouth position) would be advantageous as well. Once you get in a good habit of how far down the mouth piece to be and find the right angle for your bottom lip & teeth you'll be fine. I had a bad teacher to start with & had to change my embechure twice to get it right several years later.\nOne more habit you'll need to change is how to tongue your notes. On the flute you sound the beginning of each note by touching your tongue on the roof of your mouth, but on the saxophone you need to just touch the tip of the reed. Again, I tongued each note like a flautist for years before learning how to do it right. It sounds pretty bad to start off with but once you get the hang of it, it sounds so much clearer.\nHope this helps, good luck!

Which one do you enjoy the most? I mean...which "instrument", your saxaphone or your voice, makes you feel most passionate about the music when you perform? If you excel in both, then you should choose the one which gives you the most pleasure...or which one you believe you can best use to bring pleasure to others. Either one is a wonderful way to express yourself, so whatever you do...don't give up BOTH of them!

While being held captive inside my mothers womb, she listened to jazz.  From birth till now, the music that makes me sing inside, be happy when I feel sad, makes me want to holler instead of crying...is jazz, jazz, jazz.  Jazz is quite soothing to my appetite and cooling to my soul on a hot day. Who needs air-conditioning when you have the easy breezy mellow sounds of smooth jazz! During the slavery days, music was the only means of communicating amongst the slaves. Those various sounds became cants, then, blues and so on.  Yes I enjoy my music and jazz is my preference.\n\nFor the record, I have attended Broadway plays with musical accompaniment via a string quartet, I also enjoy classical, rhythm & blues, some country western and various mixtures of opera, movie sound-tracks, classical piano music and violins. I also enjoy movies of love such as the motion picture entitled "Some Where In Time", performed by Roger Williams, composed and conducted by John Barry, starring Steve Reeves and Jane Seymour. Yes I enjoy my music and jazz is my preference.

Thats a fab song, you seem a little concerned at liking this song? dont, its normal and healthy to have a wide ranging taste in music, I certainly do. I like some hip hop, rap, heavy metal, indie, infact anything, even some jazz.

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.

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.
