Okay ... who else here is in the liking of jazz? I mean everyone's into Hip Hop / Rock / Pop / etc .... but what about Jazz? If so .. who are your favorite jazz artist? As for "old school" jazz, I favor Frank Sinatra (yes, he's a jazz artist), Ella Fitzgerald and you know. Michael Buble sounds like Frank. It's pretty cool. I suggest you guys who don't listen to jazz, give it a chance. I did!

I AM a jazz lover.
i've loved it my whole life.
i mean i still like the hip-hop, emo kine music.
but i've always loved jazz. its effin' relaxing. :D
old school jazz is the shiznits.

jackie

Jazz isn't my thing.

Jazz is pretty cool... it's REALLY fun to play haha

dude! frank sinatra is my man! and j-taylor!

Grew up listening to Sinatra.

I like Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong, Etta James, and Billie Holiday.

frank sinatra is [B] amazing.

They are okay. But I don't know any jazz bands. I thought my school jazz bands are awesome! hehe I even saw them on TV too!! Hmm.. I also love when there's saxaphone...very soothing and relaxing

Hurray!! for this thread finally
lolz ..yea i am a jazz lover too i was in a phase ...

Louis Armstrong
Ella Fitzgerald
Billie Holiday

Dean Martin
Harry Connick Jr.
Bing Crosby


Cant never get away without listening to Nat King Cole now .....hes Unforgettable

what makes me love old school Jazz is that people think that Jazz is comprised with the same beat and element to it .....but not likely ...if you listen closely ..Jazz is a really diverse type of music .....

its ok now ....i Prefer 60`s Soul now ........ Motown in the house

Finally.

FINALLY.

Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong, Peggy Lee, Billie Holiday, Diana Krall, Louis Prima, the list goes on and on and on...

i prefer jazz instrumentals. always good to listen to on a boring day.

Can't say that I'm a fan....

i like jazz, but i don't have favorites.

but i do favor benny goodman, since i play the clarinet, like he did.

My dad is a Jazz fanatic, so I've probably listened to alot. It's not really my thing personally, but it's really relaxing and always makes me wanna sleep. (That's a good thing) Hmm, I don't know any artists though...

HEY! JAZZ IS A EUPHEMISM FOR SEX!

Jazz is great. Coltrane, Davis, Basie, Monk

i recently wrote a report on jazz and Modernism, and id post it, but its 5 pages long

i don't really listen to jazz much, but i'm in the jazz band at school and it's so much fun to play. chick corea's "spain" is flippin' awesome 8]

Nah..i dont like slow music..

Umm... Jazz isn't relatively always slow.

and i thought i was weird for liking jazz . glad more people enjoy it

Tell me about it! All my friends are into this junk that means ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. But Jazz, It's so real, it explains so much...
I like Etta James, Benny Goodman and his Crazy Instrument!, Sinatra, Henry Mancini (although some say his music isn't real jazz), and many others!

i love jazz

my grandma gave me her sinatra reprise VHS's. I have a louis armstong purse that i adore. And i'm a huge fan of Ella fitzgerald. My favorite young jazz artist is jamie cullum. He's british. oooooh.

yay :)

I love Benny Goodman. The clarinet is a great instrument, and he's quite talented at it.

Billie Holidae
Dorothy Dandridge
Etta James
etc.

I like Bill Evans and Frank Sinatra, I don't know very many Jazz artists.

I contemplated starting a similar thread but I wasn't sure if it would get many responses.

If any of you have talked to me, it is apparent that I love jazz music. Hell, go to my Xanga and I have Miles Davis' summertime playing.

I've always been musically inclined and being musically inclined you tend to be exposed to more than just a set genre of music. From an early age, I would sit and listen to jazz radio stations, not knowing who anyone was but enjoying the music nonetheless.

As soon as I got a computer at 14, I did an immediate search on KaZaA for jazz. I latched onto Miles Davis and for the longest time, he was the only artist (of any genre) I would listen to in my free time. After a while, I caught wind of Coltane, Thelonious Monk, Charles Mingus, Dave Brubeck, Stan Getz, Dizzy Gillespie, Wynton Marsalis, The Dirty Dozen Brass Band and many more.

My point? My point is this: there are all types of bullshit stigmas with each genre of music. (Hiphop- thug, Emo- Pansy, Country- redneck, etc.) How can you do such a thing with such a pure form of music? Truth is; you can't. Jazz is universal. It doesn't matter if you're rich or poor, black or white, straight or gay, etc. Anyone can listen to tjazz and jazz music can be the peace that somsone needs in their life.



^^Goddamnit, you're dumb

i like jazz! i like listening to it. i dont know anyone specifically but it just sounds cool.

What do you prefer? Vocal or Instrumental? Are you partial to brass or woodwinds? I can suggest some artists if you'd like.

My parents are jazz people so grew up listening to it. Too many to name I will only name a few
Louis Armstrong
Billie Holiday <3
Louis Prima
Dean Martin

i like the jazz band. and i like the euphemism. but i don't listen to any on my own
