awepittance Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 check out anything by Max Roach, even his youtube videos if you are into the fast jazz drumming stuff i wish i knew more about Jazz, i listen to a local station in SF 91.1 and they play some awesome stuff sometimes. on sundays they do a latin jazz thing and some of it blows me away, especially the percussion and piano.

lumpenprol Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Everybody has mentioned Miles but not Sketches of Spain, In a Silent Way, or Jack Johnson...3 of his best. Might want to throw in some Mahavishnu Orchestra or Weather Report for good measure, if you're going beyond "classic jazz". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
