:hphones:

I've got an awesome version of 'The way you Look Tonight" by Stan Getz and Chet Baker! My favourites are,

King Porter Stomp - Benny Goodman
It don't mean a thing - The Duke (and anything else by Duke Ellington)
Tuxedo Junction - Glenn Miller
One O'clock Jump - Count Basie
Five O'clock in the Mornin Blues - Count Basie

and I like some Cab Calloway as well!!

Moanin', E's Flat and I's flat Too - Charles Minges
Bolivar Blues - Thelonius Monk
4 on 6 - Wes Montgomery
Salt Peanuts - Dizzy Gillespie
Night in Tunisia - Various Artists
Sanctuary - Miles Davis
Mercy, Mercy, Mercy - Joe Zawinul
My Foolish Heart - Bill Evans
My Favorite Things - Jon Coltrane
Summertime - Charles Earland

yeah, a Nirght in Tunisia is great - ive got this version by Jimmy Smith which is fabulous.

No.1 Green Street- Grant Green
Blue Traine - Coltrane
Yardbird Suite - Bird and i also have a Jimmy Smith version of this
Flying Home - Benny Goodman
Art Deco - Don Cherry
Mood Indigo - Duke
Watermelon Man - Herbie Han****
Peculiar - John Scofield (he and pat metheny are now the vanguards of jazz guitar)
Song X - Ornette Coleman
Saudia - Larry Young
Aint Misbehavin - Louis Armstrong
The Sherriff - the Modern Jazz Quartet
Moanin' - Art Blakeys Jazz Messengers
Straight No Chaser - Monk

ive missed out heaps cause theres so much good jazz out there

I love his style, but I'm not a big fan of his wacky guitar tone of late. Metheny and Scofield definitely leading the pack though, watch out for Eric Krasno of Soulive Kickin' a$$ and takin' names. He's the future of jazz guitar!!!!!!
I love this "Moanin", as well as the Mingus song. Art Blakey is incredible. Wynton Marsalis got his start in his band.

Ray Charles also did a great version of Moanin'

Ohh. Awesomepossum. My jazz band at school did Tunisia as well as One O'Clock Jump.

<3 Cab Calloway's "Minnie the Moocher."

one o'clock jump is great too

brazilian jazz
 

I would like to recommend you 2 Brazilian discs that were just released (I am living in Rio de Janiero at the moment):
- BADEN POWELL live in Bruxelles, recorded in 1999
- ED MOTTA, Aystelum, you can hear it at http://tudo.americanas.com.br/cgi-bi...Value=aystelum, on the back of the page

The 2 CDs are for the moment unavailable in Australia and in Europe (I’m feeling lucky to be there!!) but you can order it at SAMBASTORE. It’s an excellent Brazilian music store that only offers CDs produced by Brazilian labels. They can deliver anywhere in the world and freight is free for 4 items or more. It’s really worth seeing, have a look and tell me what you think about it, I would appreciate any comment (positive or negative)!!
