History of Jazz - Early Years

[dymecoar]

You just simplified the first 40 formative years of jazz into five recordings, one of which wasn't even jazz (Maple Leaf Rag). There's so much more to it than that.

best jazzman is Dj Jazzy Jeff

Yeah man,...like,..I love the thumpin', modern beat that ain't got a damn thing to do with jazz playin' in the background just because, either you're trying to appeal to some snot-nosed punks who can't live without this modern bassline,...or,..just because you, yourself, are the one with the bad taste. What's wrong,...Armstrong ain't good enough for you?

I don't want to seem argumentative but I don't understand the rationalization for choosing these particular tunes. I would have picked Tiger Rag by the Original Dixieland Jazz Band, West End Blues by Louis Armstrong, Caravan by Duke and Body and Soul by Coleman Hawkins.
