the JAZZ thread

[goriopardot]

---

Can anyone tell me kinsa ng medyo batan-on (mid 20's or 30's) nga jazz musician, mo-kanta siya and at the same time mo-play ug piano. I first heard about him around 2004-2005. Gi-feature pud siya sa MTV for I think a month.

Kinsa na siya? Hehehe, kalimot man gud ko sa iyang pangan.. and everytime I hear him on the radio, the more I want to listen.

Thanks in advance.

Jamie Cullum siguro na imo ga ingnon....

Anybody here listen to jazz? No, not the old ones... definitely not Louis Armstrong or Marvin Gaye.
I'm talking about the real smooth ones... jaw-dropping bass lines and exceptional drum work.. some horns and an acoustic guitar...

I've been listening to crossover for awhile and I really dig some of the stuff they're playing on air. The problem is, I don't know any of the artists or the songs. I've been to their website: Under Construction , but their compilations are just the generic ones... not really the extremely talented bands I'm trying to find.

Can anybody help me out? Please, post something... anything!!!

I agree with the ones who posted ACOUSTIC ALCHEMY. Listen to all their albums starting from Early Alchemy down to Positive Thinking. They have 10 albums when Nick Webb was still alive. Pwerteng nindota gyud. I have all those albums and never grow tired of listening to it. They have 5 albums released after Nick Webb died. Those post-Nick Webb albums sound different but they're good though. Medyo smooth jazz na ang dating but ang albums when Nick was still alive, they're the very, very best. At least that's what I thought. Have a nice day!

For those of you looking for jazz albums, you may go to Buy, Sell, Trade, Classified under movies and music section. As you know it's hard to find jazz cds nowadays at music stores and even the sales person are not so well versed when it comes to jazz genre.

Guys I just discovered a store in St. Jude, Bulacao who sells pre-owned and burned copies of jazz selections from smooth jazz to fusion. Their arrays of jazz titles are unbelievable and awesome which you would normally not find on music stores such as Weather Report, Yellow Jackets, Fourplay,Spyro Gyra and Pat Metheny. They have also individual albums of Acoustic Alchemy, Peter White, Sadao Watanabe, Bob James, Michael Franks and Kenny Rankin. Their contact number is 0932-6672514. Hope this helps.
