Jazz

Awesome! I'm starting to get into Jazz and I just picked up tenor. My main instruments are oboe and English horn and this is my first single reed and I'm thrilled about getting the opportunity to play jazz. I also enjoy Count Basie and Charlie parker as well.

newer stuff. grover washington, fausto papetti definitely, herb alpert, flute- is it james galway, panflute oh my.

Sweet. I've got a friend that loves Glen Miller stuff with a passion.

benny goodman, glen miller stuff. i listen and play.

I like combo type stuff. I like swing if I'm playing with people that know how to swing on a vine in hurricane force winds! I'll play latin combo type stuff.. I like Charlie Parker songs (Hey.. sax players.. lol. We all do pretty much) umm.. let's see, I like the good old stuff, if the pages haven't turned yellow, chances are you won't find me playing it. : ) Things with real groove, I like punctuated songs. I like blues, and I love just sitting around with a good group of players and having a "conversation". oh! and stuff from the 1940s .. for some reason I have a thing for music in the 1940s. the big band era had some good stuff come out of it. Count Basie had a fun style. It really has a lot to do with the people you're playing with. Some people are fun to play blues with but not so much swing because strictly blues players tend to drag.. and swing players tend to rush blues.. at least from what I've noticed.
