wel there must be some of you out there
i mean the real stuff not that smove starbucks rubbish :d

Personally my tastes are mostly for the 1920s to 40s especially louis armstrong, sidney bechet, johnny dodds, fats waler, the big bands like benny goodman etc. I do like some moddern stuff like miles davis, chet baker and the likes but i am a 78 collector so that has a part in what i listen to.
anyone out there dig it?

Not only dig it, learned "how" to listen to it with my dad...He loved the big band sound too...He was 90 when he passed and still listening to his music daily:heart: ...I inherited his collection:banana: ...He was a big Benny Goodman and Louis Armstrong fan and loved "What A Wonderful World" and "Hello Dolly"...Other favorites include Art Tatum on piano, Dizzy Gillespie, Coltrane, Count Basie, The Duke, Miss Billy Holiday....I saw Maynard Ferguson live many times, I like Candy Dulfer on sax, both smooth and funk are good for me...I'm not familiar with the Starbucks rubbish though!laugh laugh

art tatum was just something special. People still just sit open mouthed listening to his recordings lol i do at any rate
those late 30s count basie recordings were incredible with that rhythm section.

that should have been fats waller, nothing to do with fishing

I love Frank Sinatra, Michael Buble, Dean Martin, Andy Williams. They tend to stand out for me. I like originals/traditional jazz :)

nothing wrong with frank! especially the sound track to come dance with me with billy may's orchestra, one of the most swinging albums of the fifties that.
