Hey im looking for some good jazz to listen to now the older type or slower but more up beat hip jazz.... if u know anything please tell me perferably with a saxophone in it thanks

I would recommend S-H-I-N-E by stan getz, or his record with j.j. johnson at the opera house.

If you want really upbeat, than you may want to listen to arturo Sandival recordings, it`s usually him and a sax going nuts.

Sonny Rollins and John Coltrane are great, but for some newer stuff the cherrie poppin daddies are a great swing band.

buy confermation by charlie parker. its one of his best albums

Miles Davis` Kind of Blue, Michael Brecker (great tenor player, maybe the best)

The thing with kind of blue is that it has a lot of mid-slow tempo songs with HUGE solo sections that aren`t that action packed.

I don`t know if you would have heard of him or not, but Alex Dean is AMAZING!!! He makes saxophones do anything they are capable of and often pushes their physical limits. I had the incredible honour of performing with him with our jazz band at school and was in complete awe the whole time. The band he is with is known as D.E.W. East (the dew represents the 3 members last names). I highly reccommend it!

If you want some good jazz sax songs, try listenen to john coltrain, or try Miles davis`s "kinda blue." also listen to Joshua Redmans new cd, "Elastic" for some great sax songs

KIRK WHALUM FOR TENOR IS EXCELLENT HAS A VARIETY OF MUSIC TO CHOOSE FROM.
