When you think of Jazz...

[the_satanic_rabbit]

What's the first thing that pops into your head?
For me it's the Late Night Show with Conan O'Brien Theme Song, with Max Weinberg and the Max Weinberg 7.

 

[ScottG]

Mahavishnu Orchestra.

 

[Manga-San]

Some insane improvised Sax solo...

 

[SilentRealm]

what pops into my head when i think of jazz is the song 'lily was here' by candy dulfer and david a stewart..man i loooove that song, its a saxaphone n guitar instrumental and its so sexy.

 

[Mr. Shred-ididle]

I think of some insane improvised fusion guitar solo

bt/w the_satanic_rabbit, Ken Ubanks and the tonight show>Max Wienburg 7 lol.

 

[Brood of Evil]

I think of this song called "Quantum Soup", from Jordan Rudess' "Feeding the Wheel"

 

[ElPredicador]

mmm maybe Tribal Tech or Weather Report

 

[OrestesMantra]

I think of an old computer game called Jazz Jack Rabbit or something. I remember playing it in Office Max on their computers. It was awesome.

 

[ElPredicador]

hell, thats a really old game...

 

[Strychnos]

I think of Miles Davis, Chick Corea and John Coltrane.

dang, I remember that game too. guess I'm old enough as well...

 

[ProgMetalFan]

I think of Cynic

 

[RequiemX]

I think of the Cowboy Bebop soundtracks. Damn, that Yoko Kanno kicks ass.

 

[Polyeidus]

I think of Charles Mingus and all the old lp's I have that sound so bad, but oh so good when played.

Are you suggesting that K Ubanks is better than Max Weinberg?

In what way, as a musician or as a good comic sidekick.
I love how Max is the butt of so many jokes and they put him in all kinds of skits doing crazy stuff.

Ever see "The Best of Max Weinberg" CD phone order thing they did? That one was my favorite. It was just him playing all of the hit Sprinsteen songs with no other instruments, so like Born in the USA was just him hitting the snare drum over and over. It was great!

K Ubanks just laughs at Jay's dumb jokes but he's pretty built so he'd probably kick a lot of ass.

 

[legofarley]

I think of all the legends whose songs i played in high school. guys like Duke Ellington, Buddy Rich, Count Basie, Louis Armstrong, and Benny Goodman, but I also think of stuff like Cowboy Beebop (Good Choice RequiemX), Bill Chase, The Honeydrippers (it's robert plant, jimmy page, jeff Beck, and others playing old swing tunes - awesome), and Brian Setzer.

 

[Harp Heaven]

I think of the classic bop-records and the cheesy 80`s fusionrecords my father played to me when I was younger. I see my father, playing Round Midnight on a grand piano, with me sitting under it, totally immersed in the music.

 

[Mr. Shred-ididle]

Hoe dare you say, Leno has dumb jokes!!! Alot better than O'Briens stupid impersinations and piss-poor voices. Leno > O'Brien.

I really like the way Ubanks "Wailes" he just goes WAAAAA! WAA!! meedly meedely WAAA!!!
Ubanks > Jimmy ViVino

 

[Hawk]

Al Di Meola, Alex Skolnick

 

[City]

john mclaughlin, herbie hancock, thelonious monk etc etc

 

[Eramaajarvi]

I think of my ex jazz band. Those were the days.
