awepittance Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 (edited) check out anything by Max Roach, even his youtube videos if you are into the fast jazz drumming stuff i wish i knew more about Jazz, i listen to a local station in SF 91.1 and they play some awesome stuff sometimes. on sundays they do a latin jazz thing and some of it blows me away, especially the percussion and piano.

lumpenprol Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 Everybody has mentioned Miles but not Sketches of Spain, In a Silent Way, or Jack Johnson...3 of his best.

FUCK That's the worst thing i've ever eaten. The flesh simply doesn't cleave to the bones. Battery ferming. And then, foie gras is banned from NY state, because it's considered as ill-treat. IT'S NOT. KFC is tourist ill-treat. YOU POISONERS! Two hours after being to KFC, i stopped in a amsih little town barf all that KFC shit out. Nice work! So i hope this woman is not like kfc chicken, otherwise she'll be pulled to pieces. -organized confused project Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/42568-classic-jazz-recommendations/#findComment-950245 Share on other sites More sharing options...
