warning: wives hate husbands getting hooked to listening to jazz especially using headphones.

Being more of a smooth jazz listener I listen to Bob James, Earl Klugh, Fourplay, George Benson, Hiromi, Lee Ritenour, Weather Report, Doc Powell, Spyro Gyra, Groover Washington Jr, etc.

May I add " Keep a glass of Whisky close at hand and sip gently anon!

Diana Krall. Ah that husky voice

And then there are Frank Sinatra, Kenny G, Miles Davis............................

Interesting....Diana Krall happens to me one of my favorites too. But "husky" ?!

...But "husky" ?!
Maybe her dad was one

charlie parker..he perhaps did to jazz what james joyce did to the novel..a brilliant paradigm shift away from the accepted jazz notions of the day....father of bebop..the true musician whose tremendous technical virtuosity and 'revolutionary harmonic ideas' never diluted the essentially spiritual quality of his music...there is perhaps no jazz piece as deeply moving as his free flowing improvisation in Parkers Mood...

my particular favourite: Parker's Mood..Billy's Bounce rendered brilliantly in vocalese by the Jon Hendricks( hendricks lambert and ross) Group ..hendrick's skill at putting lyrics to jazz classics was celebrated in a Grammy award for his work on The Manhaten Transfer album ' Vocalese' ...Orinthology...Steeplechase...the list goes on..

and talking of smooth..kurt elling

Aaaahhh my fav.....

Miles Davis - simply genius!! (A Kind of Blue - What an album?!!) Please also listen to Bitches Brew....

John Coltrane - Stardust

Chick Corea

JJ Cale



PS: Does anyone know where I can get a second hand saxophone and a teacher in Delhi?
