I don't have enough experience listening to jazz to make an informed opinion on who I like or don't like yet. As an example, I've heard of Cole Train (knew that was not the actual spelling), but until I listened to him next, I didn't know the actual spelling either.

Gonna listen to some Bruebeck at work tomorrow.

Note - Music without words has to be at least a little training on personal patience.

Bruebeck is great man. I love jazz. Its why the Dead is one of my favorite bands!
Charlie Parker and Miles Davis are pretty much the god fathers in my opinion. Parker is wicked.

JFC....Check out my favorite jazz bassist Cliff Burton



The solo into the song is lit AF. Cliff set the fashion standard for every High school metal head circa 1980-1990

Also concert footage in the day light, pretty fuckin cool

lol I think we have different interpretations of jazz ... but he got some amazing sounds out of the bass, gesus, i did not think that was possible. I havent been to a show like that since high school.

chico - check out that skatalites and gramatix. youve probably heard the skatalites but not the gramatix. good stoner jams.

Cliff was insane. I’ve seen Les claypool play several times...that guys can wail on the bass.

Shit man, Skatalites are old school. I was never really into ska, but I knew some hardcore northern va guys back in the that loved that shit. Def was a decent scene up there for that type of music.

I read his wiki, 2 pretty cool stories.

1. While still a student at Castro Valley High School, Burton formed his first band called EZ-Street. The band took its name from a Bay Area topless bar. Other members of EZ-Street included future Faith No More guitarist "Big" Jim Martin as well as Faith No More and Ozzy Osbourne drummer Mike Bordin.

- crazy how talented people in small fish bowls find each other

2. In 1982, Trauma traveled to Los Angeles to perform at the Whisky a Go Go.[3] Among those in attendance were James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich, both members of Metallica, which had formed the previous year. Upon hearing, as Hetfield described it, "this amazing shredding" (which later became "(Anesthesia) - Pulling Teeth"), the two went in search of what they thought was an amazing guitar player. When they learned that what they had heard was a bass solo by Burton, they decided to recruit him for their own band. They asked him to replace departed bassist Ron McGovney, and since Burton thought that Trauma was "starting to get a little commercial",[5] he agreed. The idea of having to move to Los Angeles did not sit well with him, and said he would join only if the band would relocate from Los Angeles to his native San Francisco Bay Area.[3] Metallica, eager to have Burton in the band, left their origin of Los Angeles to make a home in El Cerrito,[6] a town located across the bay from San Francisco.

-- listening to the video you posted, I was sure it was a guitar and not a bass

How do you guys feel about Coldplay?

They came up on another site and the opinions were so polarizing.

It was pretty funny. Not my kind of music, so I can't really have an opinion. Was just funny seeing the different opinions.

I can't crap on a band that puts on a kick ass live show, I like most of their stuff

since we're talking bass this is a pretty cool isolation on Justin Chancellor of Tool
