It is a genre I used to listen to quite a bit back in the day, but not so much in recent years. If I can think of some good ones from that time period, I'll post some vids.

Parenthetically, for anyone who hasn't seen it, Ken Burns' Jazz was fantastic. Highly recommended. :)
 
Dave Brubeck...Progressive
Ahmed Jamal...Jazz organ
And Blues B.B.King etc.

Don't remember who did them, not really jazz, more blues, but I also liked,
"How come my dog don't bark when you come round?":rolleyes:
"The old philosopher" "Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey and more money.":D
You think you've got troubles buddy? "A dog done run away with my shoes...and I don't hear my girlfriend screaming anymore.:eek:

Yes I listened to a lot of jazz "back in the day". My (ex) wife an I got caught up in the swing dancing 'craze', so really enjoyed a lot of big band music and other "up tempo" genre's. We got to know some of the local jazz musicians and went to local venues and house party jam sessions. Some of the best jazz I heard was in somones living room or back yard. We eventually got divorced and I drifted away from jazz for a long while. Coincidently tho, I've recently "rediscovered" Chet Baker which of course led me back to Miles Davis and so on. I've been reintroducing myself to the music.

It's all good Gent.
As OutwardHound is discovering, change is essential.
Feel free to leave anytime you like. You'll always be welcomed back. =)

If the album I posted seemed interesting to you, you might want to subscribe to Massimo Casulini's channel.
This guy has one of the biggest collections on YT and he literally updates it daily.
Also, I've been appreciating the efforts of Chris Whiteman.
The guy has a great sense of the music and a wonderful touch.
These are some of my favourite youtube channels.
...a lot of Django stemming from Heinz Becker's channel has been popping up in my feed lately, so I've been having fun listening to that, too.
