I like the older stuff, Reinhardt & Grapelli, Armstrong, Miller, Holliday. I find a lot of the newer stuff that I've heard to be noodling.

Hmmm, well, how about John Coltrane, Charles Mingus, Charlie Parker, Thelonius Monk, Ella Fitzgerald? I like Kid Ory, too. I'd just put on a Coltrane CD when I noticed this thread.

Count me in!

Lady McMoo and I have a number of jazz standards and new jazz/blues numbers in our current repertoire of stuff we sometimes perform together.

Best regards,

mooman

From time to time, I'll see references on music threads to other kinds of music Catters like. Us being mostly high-mileage models, it's usually in the Chuck Berry, Buddy Holly era, or maybe the Byrds, Buffalo Springfield or the Holy Modal Rounders... the connection to folk and blues is usually pretty noticeable. I have a great love of jazz, but hardly know anyone who shares it. I ran a folk concert series for 27 years and up until the last two or three, I drew good crowds. I ran a jazz concert series for 5 years and the best crowds were far smaller than the average folk music audience. I finally had to stop it for lack of interest. I can think of a grand total of three people I know who share my love for jazz. Two of them are Catters... Art Thieme and Mudlark. Usually, when I mention that I like jazz, people's eyes glaze over or they say, I liked that song by Kenny G (which ain't jazz...) So, I'm wondering... is there anyone out there who listens to jazz? I find myself going to Stanley Turrentine, Gene Harris, Kenny Burrell and the West Coast Jazz of the sixties most commonly, but I also have a great love for the traditional jazz of New Orleans.

So fess up, Catters... I've still got seven fingers left on my hands to count people I know who love jazz. At least I think so. I never was good at math.. :-)
