Jazz Recommendation

Wed Mar 11, 2009 10:06 am

If anybody listens to jazz, please recommend some albums or songs that i can listen to. I like any jazz, especially Kenny G, and some smooth jazz, or jazz with R&B. I want something specific to listen to because i don't want to just listen to some random ones on the radio. I prefer instrumental jazz more then lyrical. Also, plz put a youtube video for preview! Thx in advance! (Y)

Kenny G is smooth jazz mixed with pop and R&B. Why do you ask that? What is his main genres according to you?

Playing a trumpet does not mean you're a jazz musician...I just call him a trumpet player: i dont give him 1 genre because as you said he's heavily influenced by some other things (soft pop rock for instance).
I hate all these different sub genres like jazz and smooth jazz (its as bad as alternative and alternative rock). Just my definition of jazz must not be the same as most peoples
Try some older stuff like Coltrane or Miles Davis.
