I have heard tuxedo junction, frankly i wasn`t impressed. Ellington isn`t my kind of jazz, well not most of the time.....one of my favorite songs ever, Pennies from Heavn performed by Stan Getz and the Oscar Peterson Trio.

how interesting that we all take up an interest in jazz! personally for me i would go with the joplin rags. now thats good stuff!

No, tuxedo Junction is the best. No question about it. I went to a website and printed off all the lyrics casue its awesome. Yea. ~Mia

I like a lot of different types-big band, cool school, straight ahead...and withing each of these categories I have the artists I enjoy most...Benny Goodman, Stan Getz, etc...I like the music I`m listening to so much. I`ve picked from the entire range of music recorded on the planet, picked my favorite out of all of them. I really...REALLY loathe rap...sorry

Stan Getz is the man, he is the epitome of good jazz....now a good ellington chart, rockin` in rhythm.....ooohhh, it cooks and is beautiful at the same time. Though I can only listen to Benny Goodman and dance band for so long.....except for like fascinatin` rhythm and moonlight serenade. I also really like Art Pepper, he plays so much great stuff. Paul desmond...hmm, maybe a half dozen rfeally good songs, but the rest is almost unproffesional.
Lee Konitz, i thought i like him, but recent recordings have changed my mind.

Ellington usually always has something wrong with it, it`s usually some ugly player soloing. This is the reason I dislike tuxedo Junction, it`s blurred and sloppy, Most Ellington stuff is.

But the constant beam of perfection in music is mr. getz....As you can see, i don`t like too many jazz player...i can tolerate even more, like parker, coltrane, davis, and (for lack of a better phrase) other losers who helped disform jazz. But not Getz, he took what he had and brought it to new levels of...well....perfection!

Sorry Mia, I guess i thought tuxedo junction was a different song, I listened to it just now through Kazza lite....man, it was awesome, it swung some seriouslly swinging swing!!!! I loved it.

*turns around and puts tail between legs*

I think i was thinking of pennsylvania 6500...maybe....i forget...well thanks for the suggestion on the song.

I personally like Benny Goodman a lot because he was one of the few really good, really famous clarinet jazz musicians.

But yes, tuxedo junction and Ellington is the best jazz.

Yes, you MUST have been thinking of a diff. song casue Tuxedo Junction is very good, and Ellington is very good. Stan Getz is cool too, but yea. I just love Tuxedo Junction. ~Mia

I repeat...WHAT? i don`t understand that post..please explain it.

Maybe it`s some sort of cheezy rap song.

wtf you people are freakin weird. This whole reed thing had goten out of control thet`re just freakin little pieces of bamboo or something. I gotta say that percussion kicks ass and you guyz are the bigest band nerds I have ever met.

I have no freakin clue how I found this....i think drews profile but I gotta agree with the dude that says percussion kicks A$$. Because it does. Ne way what do with a reed once you`ve collected it? I mean cynthia you can`t play a read or can you? SO you all seem to hate drew. I can`t blame you. He bragged about that scanario forever and it didn`t even become a finalist so big diss to him! WEll I don`t really fit in with you so I`m out

Yep, there`s not a whole you can do with reeds once you`ve collected them, but it`s the same as collecting baseball cards or anything else like that. Reeds are good, but saxophone is better.
