Who listens to Jazz?

Thanks starks. I just watched a few videos of his (take the a train, Cherokee) and I was very impressed. Good listen, i'll be watching more of his videos. Thanks for the suggestion. 
I like a different Miles' album: "Sketches of Spain."
People pushing age 40 who still use the term "Album."

I'd advise more Dave Brubeck
Duke Ellington
Charlie Parker (The Birdman.............no relation) died way too early (see Clint Eastwood movie "Bird" with Forrest Whitaker)
Coltrain
Davis are naturals
I like Stan Getz (for people what Getz it)-2 favs-Pocketful of Stars and Blues for Mary Jane
The thing is, there are MANY forms of jazz-fusion, acid, blues, classice....................you just can't nail jazz down to one thing and say "that's jazz!" Mile Davis was epic in his expansion of jazz.
My advice, start with the early stuff, and move your way forward.
Check out some jazz selections on tv or Sirius.

Don't forget
Norman Brown, Gelrald Albright, Wayman Tisdale, (yes ex NBA player) Candy Dulfer, Marion Meadows, George Benson . I went on a Jazz Cruise back in 07, It was the BEST time I ever had in life!!
