Brubeck's Take five is incredible. One of the most melodic tune. What's your jazz ineterest?

Dizzie's good. Night in Tunisia, Manteca and all- Very powerful trumpet. I don't know if I ever heard Davis's Night in Tunisia. Have heard the Gillespie and Art Blakey Version though. Blakey is equally powerful and thunderous because he was an incredible drummer.

Miles is good but I like his later period, not even Birth of Cool sat quite right. Even though he messed around with psychedelic and started "pimping pure jazz". You can always argue that the opposite scheme smacks of elitism. As for Miles you just have to take that period of his as a relic of a particular time in his musical growth. His electronic era in particular is what I like...has a huge Hendrix, Carlos Santana sort of sound. It is only open to speculation who influenced who.

Lot of interesting stuff coming out of Chicago, New York and the Paris underground these days. Fusion stuff. I am more in tune with fusion and underground rather than the mainstrem so I am sort of educating myself with the classics, like Mingus, Ellington, and Armstrong although my collection is pretty poor by a connesuier's standard.

Give me your take.

Haven't really gotten into jazz yet, other than a few Miles Davis, Charles Mingus stuff but I suppose that's like saying I have read and liked Hamlet.

What about Indie music, fugazi/pavement/ magnetic filds etc..? Is no one moved by good lyrics and a gloomy guitar?
