All that Jazz?

[Mingus]

I know this is a realllly suppperr long shot, but does anyone here like jazz? (Besides Tank. Although that is a nice big band piece.) I've been exposed to it and some of the stuff can get complicated at times, but I do like it nonetheless. My current fav standard is Green Dolphin Street. Gotta love that piano

Artists like Reuben Wilson, Horace Silver and Donald Byrd. Mainly old school

i need to know the names of some good jazz bands or artists. cause i know alot of music but i don't know who sings them or who the music is from.

There is more than one jazz town: Memphis, New Orleans and Kansas City.
I live near Kansas City
Chris Botti is one of the newer ones.. And I'd name more but my brain is fried from lack of sleep. Perhaps later.

Louis Armstrong
Miles Davis
Duke Ellington
Ella Fitzgerald
Erin Bode
Harry Connick Jr
Peter Cicotti
Eric Darius
The Manhattan Transfer

There are more, but I don't have that kind of time. ^_^
