Thanks. I dont know if this counts because I know little about jazz but I rather like Louis Armstrong.

Also does anyone know a good starting point for Weather Report/Jaco Pastorius? Thanks.

I would go with Heavy Weather for Jaco era Weather Report. The Birthday Concert is imo his best solo album

Alright. Here's what I've been listening to:

some Zappa. I'm uninitated so I don't really know where to start with him. But I like.

Ween's "White Pepper" album

Steely Dan "Can't Buy a Thrill"

Miles Davis, "Bithes Brew"

genre isn't important as talented, uncompromising musicians who deliver the goods....
