It’s nice to find other people who enjoy the beautiful sound of jazz.<BR/><BR/>I am something of an expert of jazz, having studied it closely for 25+ years. My tastes run strictly to the era before swing came along and ruined everything. You have picked one two of my favourites here, Louis Armstrong especially. He made those wonderful recordings with his Hot Five and his Hot Seven on the 1920s, before leading his larger band in the 1930s. He also played trumpet in the band nominally led by his wife (Lil’s Hot Shots). It’s such a shame that he is best known for singing Hello Dolly and What A Wonderful World – a second rate show tune and a bit of schmaltz.<BR/><BR/>If I were to give some recommendations to people dipping their toe into jazz I’d say first of all start at the beginning: The Original Dixieland Jass band, King Oliver (Louis Armstrong’s mentor), Jelly-Roll Morton, Bennie Moten, Red Nichols, Miff Mole, The California Ramblers, Bix Beiderbecke (genius), Adrian Rollini (genius too), Fats Waller, Jack Teagarden, Fred Elizalde. www.redhotjazz.com has a brilliant selection with hundreds of tracks to listen to.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14194867.post-69294280364054667172008-03-27T11:57:00.000-08:002008-03-27T11:57:00.000-08:00A very varied and fascinating list!
