Why not start at the beginning? What have you heard that you like? What have you heard that you don’t like? This way, you may receive better targeted and more valuable responses; make sense?
Can you recommend Jazz for some one that doesn't like Jazz?
Let me explain, I have tried to like jazz for over 30 years. I rarely find something I like. To me it sounds too disjointed, like everyone is trying to out do the others and they are all playing a different song. I know there has to be some good instrumental smooth jazz artists I am missing. If you have any suggestions of whom to try let me know. Some that are on my Jazz playlist is Pat Metheny-"It's for you" Bill Frisell _"Heard it through the grapevine" Holly Cole, George Benson... for an example of things I do like.
I'd love to have a 100 song Jazz playlist. So what'ch got for me?
Thanks

@devinplombier -- You are very welcome my friend. I hope you enjoy Bohren as much as I do. Listen to their entire catalog, it is a wonderful treat. Watch their multiple live YouTube videos -- I'd love to catch them live, their shows look surreal. Like a "quiet version" of a Godspeed You! Black Emperor concert 😆!
I believe "Shoegaze Jazz" is a perfect description of Bohren. If you like Shoegaze rock, I'd suggest a new band from NYC called Gift. The keyboardist went to High School with my youngest son. They have released 2 very good albums.

I think of S. Wonder generally as R&B infused with Jazz harmonies. But, as he’s not only unique but also a genius, he’s in his own category! I love those 70’s recordings, too. |
