Dave Grusin made the film "The Firm" a lot more enjoyable than it should have been. He's a remarkable guy. Jazz is an amazing genre!

Miles Davis - So what.

I love Miles, it's the go to Jazz musician in these kind of threads, but I just love him so much.

Only got into jazz recently, it's great. Made a thread a while ago asking for recs and got some good stuff there, like this

Not a huge fan of jazz until I saw Whiplash. Now, I genuinely turn to the Jazz station in town and linger a while if it is something that catches my ear.

Been waiting for a Jazz thread! Indeed the highest form of music. Been getting into a lot of Clifford Brown lately.

Was in jazz band during school. My favorite was Dave Brubeck.

A bit slower than a lot of the other recommendations in here, but I like it when I'm just lying on the couch with my eyes closed.

Beat me to Brubeck

 

[YaBish]

Gets me every time.

Excited to go through this thread later. I enjoy much of John Zorn's output but haven't made much of an effort to get more involved with jazz simply due to other genres taking precedence over it. This thread should make for an easy jump-in.

 

[MilShap]

Got into these guys years ago, they always blow me away live.



There are many jazz guitarists that I love and inspire me, but Wes will always be at the top for me.

Dave Brubeck - Take Five



Ryo Fukui - Scenery 1976 (Full Album)

This whole damn playlist. You won't be disappointed.



Starts with fire and never lets up.

Time for a bit of the deliciously warm tones of Mulatu Astatke.

Miles Davis was the coolest human to walk the planet. Absolute genius.

I really like free jazz so have some Sun Ra:

Any jazz enthusiast needs to know Cannonball Adderley. Listen and learn

 

[Gray Matter]

I know next to nothing about jazz, but once a blue moon I get the urge to listen to some sweet sax action and I put on Kamasi Washington.

So good.

 

[HardTimesFamilyPride]

You weren't kidding about that sax solo lmcfigs

Is Bossa Nova welcome here?

The master. One for Daddy-O is just sublime.

Everyone should give Kids on the Slope a go if they haven't already for that smooth Jazz/anime feels.

 

[Jawbreaker]

 

[Arkestry]

I know this isn't quite jazz, but I'm constantly in awe of what Colin Stetson can do with a saxophone.
