the JAZZ thread

[tingkagol]

---

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: www.crossover.com.ph , 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!!!

Visual C#: Yep i'm into Jazz and House Music... anyway kalimtan lang si Kenny G nindot man sad nya sya ug mga songs especially katong iyang mga collaborations with aaron neville, babyface and others. pero ingon pa nila over rated nadaw si kenny G, but still he's ok

mas ganahan gihapon ko sa bossa kay sexy kaayo.. anyway sexy man gyud na ang mga latin jazz especially the songs of tom jobim. joao gilberto and his son gilbert and daughter babel, elis regina and tito puente
