What artists do you guys bump? For me, I listen to alot of Avante Garde, jazz fusion and jazz groove artists like Billy Cobham (drums), Mike Clark (drums), Grant Green(elec. guitar), Jimmy Smith(hammond), Yusef Lateef(flute), Medeski Maritn & Wood, Idris Muhammed (drums), Jaco Pastorius(bass), and Roy Ayers (vibes)

i'm not really up on all the new school ish. I dig old school stuff like miles, trane, monk, etc...all the sort of typical stuff i guess you first hear or are introduced to, maybe not though...

i am always interested in new stuff and an old roomate listened to some crazy stuff, some of it was dope and some was too experimental for me.

i dig jazz but dont know shit about it. Ive heard and like Coltrane, and Davis. My dad has this history of jazz that i occasionally listened to but i cant remember who was on it. maybe somebody could recommend a variety so i could peep a lot of different shit....peace

I'm actually writing my final paper on Jimmy Smith for my jazz history class. If you want, I can send it to you when I'm done.

I'm really into free-jazz, westcoast/cool and soul-jazz/hardbop right now. But I also listen to bebop, some swing, some ragtime, and don't forget boogiewoogie, that's the stuff.

Funny you mentioned Grant Green. I got "Alive!" today in the mail. It features Bobby Hutcherson (vibes), Ronnie Foster (organ), and Idris Muhammad (drums). I highly reconmend checking it out if you haven't heard it. It's a soul-jazz classic! 100% smooth buttery grooves...mmm.

Yo tight. I'd be glad to take a look at the project your doing on Jimmy Smith. (llazaga@hotmail.com)He is one of my fav's cuz I dig the B-3 alot rather than modern keys. Most of the stuff I like to listen to is hardbop mainly cuz I like to listen to the drummers like this cat named Mike Clark-Man this guy has a funky "swang" style. Jazz drums are very interesting to me cuz they just don't play loud and repetitive but smooth, syncopated, and improvized.

I like jazz but find I hardly listen to it...as such I stopped buying jazz CDs. Of course I like the standards (Monk, Coltrane, Miles). There's also this cat from Oregon named Julian Snow who rips shit on the Rhoades (or maybe it's a B3, but I think it's the Rhoades). Also, I just heard one song from this guy named Brian Bromwood...plays the upright, and it was sweet. I was gonna buy the album, but it was $18...

I also really like Kenny G...
