Who here likes jazz music?
I do! I love to play and learn jazz piano, but I also love simply listening to jazz.
I am talking any type of jazz, yes, blues counts too.
Swing, ragtime, charleston, anything!
Discuss your favorite jazz musicians, new or old.
Or post links to your favorite jazz songs.
I like swing the best, but my favorite jazz musician is Scott Joplin! I also really like Oscar Peterson.

I really like "Maple Leaf Rag" by Scott Joplin, Kind of Blue by Miles Davis, and some of Frank Zappa's jazz fusion, if that counts.

Hmm, to be honest, I don't listen to much jazz, but I'm still quite fond of the genre. My favorites are probably big bang, swing, and especially smooth jazz - but I also like ragtime and free form jazz.
I've never heard of 'Big Bang'- could you possibly be confused with 'Big Band'?

I not very fond of the genre, except when the Beatles are accidentally mixed in with it. For example, my family and I went to Noosa for a holiday last weekend, and there was a Jazz festival (oh joy!), and they once played "I saw her standing there" by The Beatles. It's not Jazz, it's Classic Rock, but they still played it. Oh well

That sounds interesting, I wish I could've been there to hear that!
