i saw this the other day and really enjoyed it, i'd like to find out more about this kind of thing.
i've had the odd flirtation with jazz but have struggled to maintain any kind of sustained interest. i really like the max roach and billy cobham i've heard and i got art blakey's orgy in rhythm recently which i liked too.
i'm a tad ashamed to say i the subtleties of miles davis' kind of blue are wasted on me. i know it's supposed to be one of the greatest jazz albums ever and the modal thing important for the devopment of jazz etc, but, to date, it has done nothing for me other than bore me shitless.
that clip of parker and diz has a more immediate appeal to me and i think that bebop might be a good route into jazz. i'm thinking dizzy gillespie, charlie parker and tadd dameron might be good to start off with but was wondering if anyone here had any ideas of specific recordings and other artists.
i'd be interested to hear how anyone here got into/started hating jazz, if anyone can be arsed.
