Folks,
I'm now listening to most of my music via streaming, Amazon Music, Pandora, Google Play etc, BUT back in the day I used to listen to lots of CDs (OK I go back to records too!). So today I was cleaning out my desk drawer at work and I found a stash of jazz CDs that I used to listen to at work, I guess. (The player is still here, my coworkers use it for the radio now!)
So for the better part of the day I have been jamming listening to some AWESOME jazz music on my computer! I have a nice speaker bar. (HEY I'm the IT guy! ) I've got Stanley Jordan, Weather Report, Chick Corea, John McLaughlin, Miles Davis, Jonathan Butler, AND what's on right now, Spyro Gyra's "Morning Dance"
So are there any other jazz fans out there? I guess for me, I mostly like the cool jazz from the 50ies and 60ies which then transitioned in to Jazz fusion from the 70ies and 80ies! I used to have a tradition with my Dad of seeing shows together either at the musikfest in Bethlehem OR the Mellon Jazzfest here in Philly. I saw SO many greats with my Dad! Miles, BB King, Lionel Hampton, Dizzy, Philly Joe, Bill Frizzell, Grover. Wynton Marsalas, etc
