Miles Davis - All Blues - 1964

I admit I mostly listen to bop from 50's and 60's, and swing jazz from Duke, Coleman Hawkins and the like. Renee Rosnes is a contemporary piano and composer I really like. Branford Marsalis Quartet is my favorite contemporary band. I like Joe Lovano's work alot, and Roy Hardgrove's straitahead stuff. Eric Reed, Rebecca Coupe-Franks, Steve Turre, Jeremy Pelt, Miquel Zenon, David Sanchez, Keith Jarrett are other modern folks I like, and I'm just discovering Marie Schnieder.

rock and roll is dead!!!

jazz is dead

What do you Jazz fans think of the state of jazz today? There are a lot of amazing new school talent out there, i like Diana Krall a lot too but i still must say no school like the old school. My favorite jazz albums are Coltranes "A Love Supreme" and "Time Out" by Dave Brubeck Quartet.

@iscream22 It's really hit or miss, as it probably always has been. In every genre you have the greats (new and old) and the ones that are not so great. I enjoy Diana Krall, I'm a big fan of Michael Buble, but I'm mostly a Jazz Fusion person myself. In which case I love Hiromi's Sonicbloom with Dave Fiuczynski and the like.

He is a very cool man indeed, but i have to say Ron Carter may be the coolest dude ever! All these guys are legends its great to see em all together.  Coltrane was amazing too

is Wayne Shorter nervous or somthing? im not talking bad, but it seems he's not really into it , like a bad day or somthing ya know?

No its not sneezing,
its his neurotic tic!

It's gotta be McCoy Tyner.

I love Miles Davis' attitude. His way or the highway.
