blonde poker forum

I went on a trip to amsterdam last summer and went on a jazz boat and since then have been hooked on it- my missus hates it- but was just wondering if anyone knows of somewhere i can get some for 'free'? Or if there are jazz fans out there who can reccommend some singers or bands. Have some now which i listen to when playing poker (think its ideal poker music) but would love to expand on it!

limewire

i am on limewire but was looking for names really to search for. When you put in jazz it doesnt always come up with the best results!

This may be of interest to you. Its a fantastic event.

cheers taximan, we actually have a massive one near me called the Brecon Jazz Festival, some may have heard of it. Its briliant but might be a nice summer trip down to cornwall for your suggested one. Only trouble is persuading my missus to come!

I usually google first, i downloaded a lot of 60s soul music the other day by artists i hadnt heard of before.

Google classic jazz albums, artists, groups ect, get a pen and paper and away you go.

Stop typing Daniel....must resist....

cheers bolt  ;)

Bude is nice place for a holiday, good beaches etc, i'm sure your good lady would enjoy it.

I am actually looking for a PA who reads and checks my posts for Innuendo and possible welsh-slagging terms. Anyone interested PM me.

I did holiday down cornwall when i was young. Have the worst memory in the world- think it was cambourne or sumat like that. Cant really recall but do remember i really enjoyed it!

I went to Cornwall once.  I was given time off in Looe   ;hide;

P.S I actually did lol at that joke!

The "old ones" are the ?  ;whistle;

heres some names for you

Miles Davis
John Coltrane
Charles Mingus
Albert Ayler
Stan Getz
Ornette Colman
Tubby Hayes
Pharoah Sanders

but really depends on what sorta Jazz your into, traditional or contemporay?

i have some by Davis and coltrane. will be looking up the other lot on limewire.Id say i like both. Hard to know really coz never looked hard into the genre. what would be classed as contemorary?

Kenny G is good if you like saxaphone

A friend of mine, who was looking over my shoulder and has been a semi-professional jazz musician for 5 years, has this to say...

"Please, for the love of God, do NOT listen to any Kenny G, ever.

If you want contemporary jazz, I very highly recommend: Michael Brecker, Pat Metheny, Kenny Garrett, to get you started."

www.pandora.com is your friend.  (This is rather cool)...

"K-K-K-Kenny G...?"

Pandora is the dogs...

I second that  ;iagree;

I haven't listened to anything else since I started using Pandora. Just whack in the name of an artist or track you like and it starts playing other stuff it thinks you will like. Then you can give tracks a thumbs Up or Thumbs down and it will refine it's choices. As you add more artist and track names it learns more.... Absolutely awesome, and it's free

Kenny G is the devils spawn.

I love John Coltrane.

also Winton Marsalis (or any of the Marsalis brothers for that matter), for something slightly more fusion Steps Ahead is awesome

God i remeber pandora now. We always used to use it for the home game coz you could select whatever type of music you wanted and it got it. It was brilliant, will definately be getting back on there!

P.S. Kenny G is just Satan with a Saxaphone!

wow nthis is the first time I heard of pandora and they seem to have everything I like (which is pretty amazing since I listen to a lot of 90's guitar bands that were obscure even at the time (like Cacophony RacerX etc)) anyway to download from this?

There is yeh somehow. My techymate knows. will try and find out off him but im sure somebody else wl reply before i do!

I bought my old missus(trout|) a lifetime membership to Ronnie Scott's in LOndon.

If you want jazz go there

Again a perfect idea just 3 and a half hours too far away!

take your missus out for a meal tonight..............

food is ok music mostly excellent.

for sax i go no further than stan getz

am not a big fan of modern jazz- tend to listen to duke ellington miles davis etc.

brecon is great but has become quite commercial and also expensive....

Add Chet Baker and Art Blakey to the list. If you want something a little more difficult to listen to, try Thelonius Monk and Jaco Pastorius. Vocal jazz - Sarah Vaughan, Ella Fitz, Nina Simone, Eliane Elias ... you can't go wrong :)

Dint even know this place existed. Cheers rudders.

Oscar Peterson: 'We get requests' (Corcovado: The Days of Wine and Roses: You Look Good to Me)

Asheru: (Setting Sun: The Music: It's About Time)

Dexter Gordon: (Mrs Minever)

Gal Costa: Can't understand a word of Portugese but it sounds soooooooooo good!

Herbie Hancock: 'Stars In Your Eyes'

Rodrigo Y Gabriela: Awesome Flamenco Guitar  (Mr Tang: Libertango: Diablo Rojo: Stroget)

Coltrane: 'Russian Lullaby'

Norman Connors: 'Stella'

Nat Adderly Sextet: 'Space Spiritual'

 :)up :)up

Gives me great pleasure to pass on my particular favourites:

Ben Webster,  the greatest tenor saxophonist (brings tears to your eyes).

Ramsey Lewis, download his 'Time Flies' album and you'll want to get everything this great pianist has ever done, including his funk band 'Urban Knights'.

Gene Harris,    another great pianist.

Female Singers: Ella, Billie H, Madellaine Peyroux

Male:               early Al Jarreau, Michael Buble, early Ray Charles, George Benson(Breezin' is a great album)

                  and don't forget the King..........LOUIS ARMSTRONG

                enjoy.


 PS.  You could probably convert your wife by introducing her to jazz through the recent work of Jamie Cullum, Madellaine Peyroux, Michael Buble and Norah Jones. All good artists and very modern. It's worked       
        with my daughters!

Cheers jeff. looking them up now.

GAH, NO, JAMIE CULLUM WILL ROT YOUR BRAIN!
