Default Re: Jazz recommendations???

Wow, for a guy who is trying to get into jazz, your guys are gonna scare him away with things like Bitches Brew. If you are just getting into Jazz, I would recommend some things that are a little easier to listen to the first time around.

Art Blakey - Moanin'
Miles Davis - Kind of Blue
Jimmy Smith - Back at the Chicken Shack
Dave Brubek - Time Out

These are all really great jazz albums with a strong sense of melody and form that will allow you to ease into listening to jazz and prevent you from hating it.

Much like you will go broke if the first poker game you play in is $100/$200, no one should have their fist jazz experience be something like A Love Supreme or Bitches Brew.

One step at a time.
