GAMES: GameSpot GameFAQs MOVIES: Metacritic Movietome Comic-Con
Thursday, Dec 11, 2008

G'morning all, I figured I'd reach beyond gaming to try to gauge people to see who may be a fan of the genre. Don't get me wrong, it's definitely not the only ****of music I enjoy, but I have been on a bit of a Jazz kick later.

I had a couple of CDs shipped to me this past week. Both were ordered from ObliqSound with one being Persona by Massimo Biolcati & the other being Kind Soul by The Stance Brothers. I'm diggin' on both of them

Persona has somewhat of a light, mellow (but definitely not watered down) vibe to it. I'd never heard of Massimo Biolcati, but I'm a fan Obliqsound releases, so I figured I'd sample it to see what it was about...glad I did.

Kind Soul is standard issue groove-heavy, soulful Jazz from the Finland Jazz scene. The Stance Brothers (Isiah & Dwayne Stance and Byron Breaks) is a group produced by Teppo "Teddy Rok" Mäkynen (Teddy Rok Seven, Five Corners Jazz Quintet). Anything associated with him, Jukka Eskola, Timo Lassy or from the Finnish Jazz scene I'll either buy or slow enough to at least take a listen....and then probably buy.

At any rate, I'm open to a plethora of music. So please share input at will.......

Peace

Doctor, it turns out I have something by all of those artists (especially Miles) except the last mentioned one, which I'll check out. In fact, Layers is one of my favorite Les McCann albums! Thanks for sharing!

Does Dave Matthews Band count? They get pretty jazzy on a lot of their live albums. Pretty good stuff.

Louis Armstrong is pretty good, too.

I honestly don't know if DMB would get filed under Jazz, but they definitely have a groove to them.....

I haven't delved as deep into jazz as I should have to this point. As a vocalist I love me some Diana Krall though. Louis Armstrong is an absolute must.
