@yoyoyaya +1, Anything, not only on CTI Records (Creed Taylor Inc.) but also Creed Taylor’s KUDU Records whom the recording engineer Rudy Van Gelder made some of the best sounding recordings in those days on those two labels, facts. Creed Taylor's CTI Records and KUDU Records has an astoundingly large catalog of records/musicians in his roster.
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

God asked The Apostle Paul " why do you keep kicking against the pricks?"(funny way of putting it) I admire your tenacity. But why after 30 yrs is of trying are you making another attempt to force something that you just don't like? I ask these things because I mirror your thoughts about jazz .I've tried. But neither it nor female vocals are my cup of tea. It doesn't make me wrong. Nor are those who do like jazz wrong. Nor does it make me inferior. I listen to many different types of music, just not the 2 I spoke of earlier. Big shout out to @stuartk . Great info. Being a musician I think I understood that already, instinctively. But IMO it still sounds disjointed. I'm not sure I'll try again but I'm not sure I won't either. Never say "never" |
