I've never dug that later Miles Davis stuff. I prefer the harder bop stuff like Dexter Gordon. There's a great Pianist from New York around at the moment called Benny Green, and a fantastic couple of drummers around, Carl Allen & Bill Stewart, they've got their own groups. All new yor city based i think. Diana Krall is just a bit boring same with that Jamie Cullum I reckon. I

btw, Herbie Hancock's head hunters is still, after 30yrs, briliant!

I reckon that new Hancock stuff is way to flashy and overproduced. Very LA nad souless. Is that off the Hancock album where's he's wearing green shades on the cover?

Stunning.
Set me up nicely for the day...

In case there's any other Jazz drummers in here, may I recommend 'Syncopation in the Jazz idiom for the Drumset' by
Ted Reed.

it's a little bit off topic but David Holmes 'Come Get it I Got it' has a selection of real cracking tracks on it...

after being sick of music in general and listening to boring alt rock for awhile, i started back into old hip hop again as well as madlib. then i went to www.the-breaks.com and started hunting the mp3s of the samples hip hop artists would use in my favorite songs. i was amazed, i always thought of jazz as that stuff you hear at starbucks, but true stuff is so damn fresh and soul seek became my encylopedia of music
a couple of faves i suggest u hunt down;
gary bartz- i've known rivers
gary bartz- celelstial blues
ramsey lewis-sexie sadie
sarah vaughan-lover's concerto
miles davis-moon dreams
coltrane-love supreme album
heathe brothers-smiling billy suite 2
herbie hancock-all apologies (nirvana cover)

bill cosby according to the simpsons:
Cosby: Hey, kids! Meet Grampa Murphy.
Child: We have three grampas already!
Cosby: This one's a great jazz musician.
Child: Oh, they all are.
Cosby: Oh, oh: you see, the kids, they listen to the rap music which gives them the brain damage. With their hippin' and the hoppin', and the bippin' and the boppin', so they don't know what the jazz is all about! You see, jazz is like Jello Pudding Pop...no, actually, it's more like Kodak fim...no, actually, jazz is like the New Coke: it'll be around forever, heh heh heh.

totally, I've got the full sessions of in a silent way... so good. But nothin beats the original on my turntable.... the slight crackle before the trumpet.... wooosh.
I'm not a big fan of Madlibs Blue Note work... I prefer when he does somethin like "Blunted in the Bombshelter".
