Wayman Tisdale was not only a great basketball player but also one hell of a jazz musician

Elevator music

Fro some reason jazz and particularly piano playing makes me anxious.

ah, I love Jazz ... satchmo, parker, coltrane and Django , Wes, Kenny lotsa good guitar kats. Listen to Billie or the Krall woman wail, Duke Ellington Orchestra is, cant nuthin be said . Jazz is pretty good stuff

Jazz is a dead art these days. One has to be part of the jazz scene to probably appreciate it any more. Europeans appreciate jazz more then Americans as a rule. It encompasses a lot of styles other than big band and swing as most think of it. Best place to hear jazz around here is at Univ. of North Texas. The One O'Clock Lab Band is truly professional, artistic, and is unsurpassed.

I'm a fan of DJ Jazzy Jeff musical stylings

Need some Ella thrown in there

Good stuff there, whiskey brings out my satchmo voice

Nope........

Just when I thought I'd heard it all.

I know for a fact it will make young ladies want to dance.

I think the reason jazz isn't more popular is because mostly the human brain prefers organization and predictability. We want to know the chorus is going to start again EXACTLY when it is suppose to,we want to sing along,we love a bridge that brings the song to a climax,we love word phrases that rhyme,we enjoy being moved emotionally by a story being told,etc. Jazz offers none of that.

I like Dixieland jazz if they have a good washboard player.

I like some Jazz. Tab Benoit has some good stuff.





Plenty of Jazz YouTube channels that make good background music.

The Elephant Room in Austin has great jazz.
