Piano, bass, percussion, a few horns? - Thu, 13 Nov 2003 4:28pm

But I bet you cant and couldnt play it. Dont be ignorant. Jazz and Classical are really to the two master races in music. - Fri, 14 Nov 2003 7:20am

Then why is it taught at the professional level like classical? Some of the best guitarists/drummers/bassist in the world are jazz trained. Ever heard Alain Caron play bass? - Fri, 14 Nov 2003 1:30pm

jazz is complex, but it can be rewarding if you are able to follow and understand. - Fri, 14 Nov 2003 4:35pm

What do you play? What kind of group are you looking to start? Do you have any particular influences to list, etc? "Jazz" blankets some pretty divergent styles.

And "scared of mike": I think it's a little tough to say that jazz exclusively is a pretentious genre. I'm sure that you and I have both run into our fair share of compulsive purists obsessing over every conceivable style of music. It's just that jazz snobs are often a little less ham-fisted and a little more pedantic in their pretension. - Fri, 14 Nov 2003 11:45pm

Well, I sing jazz.
I have a long history of brass with the Trombone but my new passion is the Trumpet.
Ideally I would like to get an ensemble together that can play in local venues (it is a dream to perform in Pagliacci's, I don't know why, I just want to).
As for what to play? I love the sound of the good old classics from Louis Armstrong, Ella, Dizzy G, Billie, and of some local jazz gods.
I love the sound of the big jazz band, and small ensembles. Energized, laid back and damn cool.
While going to Uvic, I would love a project to work on. - Sat, 15 Nov 2003 7:21pm

Frank Zappa once said, "Jazz is not dead it just smells funny" I happen to like fusion jazz but be-bop bores me - Sun, 16 Nov 2003 8:28am

hi there, don't know bout the rest of u punx, but I play the drum set and percussion, and I do enjoy jazz... as well as funk, reggae, dub, jungle, rock, blues, and more. What do you play, u who started this thread? I've been playing drumz for 10 years but mostly just 'pretend' to play jazz, but I sure like listening. I mostly play by feel, but can read a little sheet music. Cool, well until then (settle down, u anti-jazzists..! smoke another cigar, or some of that jazz-magic, good ol' reefer...!) .. get back to me. - Mon, 17 Nov 2003 7:23pm
