All That Jazz. Lets Hear Your Favorite Jazz Songs

[OneEyedDiva]

This has been a favorite of mine for almost 20 years. It contains a couple of what I call "guitar gasms", (one at the end) that make me want to play guitar. This version seems a hair faster and a slightly different pitch than the one I have.

One of my favourite songs to play

Kersha that song was my late husband's favorite I believe. He would walk around the house singing it.

It’s a classic! It’s so cheerful and hopeful of humanity. It’s a feel good song and what a voice Louise Armstrong has. I love the simplicity of it.
I’m sorry for your loss Lynk. This song must remind you of him.

 

[Lynk]

It does. He would try to sound like Louis but He did not make it but I loved to hear him.

Thank you AC. I thought there should have been a Jazz thread but hadn't come across it. I'll have to remember to search before posting...but sometimes my searches don't find the topic. Some great songs over in the Smooth Jazz thread, however some don't quite fit the Smooth Jazz genre.

Also, sometimes the videos expire.

Yes they do. If you have video favorites that you want to keep, you can download them to your hard drive using the Clip Grab app.

@Pecos Nice song by 3rd Force I'd never heard before. My Honorary Son played this for me one day and I think it's so pretty so it's now in my collection. I think you might like it.

I still have the sheet music for this from when I played this on the organ. Classic for sure.

That is another good one that I had not heard before. I see some downloading in my near future.
It is very smooth and relaxing. I think it will work very well with a little crème sherry tonight.

This song is so amazing to me. It starts out with a very European feel then ends up with a New Orleans Jazz feel complete with killer horn riffs...I'm blown away (pardon the pun) by his arrangement. What also amazed me is how different it is from the songs on the first album I bought by him which have a Brazilian feel.

This is another favorite by Roberto Perera. This and other tracks on the album are so different from the song above. I consider this to be a perfect piece of music.

@Keesha I love the way our friend Hunter Hayes of N.J. sings Wonderful World. I can't hear it without thinking of him. But he could sing just about anything and I'd love it. He gave us several of his CDs.

I’ve got the sheet music for this and lots of others. Big band music was what our band played. Danceable music. Glen Miller, The Dorsey Brothers, Benny Goodman, Duke Ellington etc

That’s not bad but I prefer Armstrong.
My tastes have changed over the years since I don’t play with a band any more so I prefer music thats more simple like Diana Krall or Nora Jones. Being a pianist yourself I figured you’d appreciate this

 

[Keesha]

Then again, I picked the version that has an entire orchestra backing her. There are far simplistic versions of this song but I really love her style of singing plus she’s a great pianist.

I LOVE Caro Emerald! I also like her song Liquid Lunch a lot.

Cool jazz instrumental

A favorite song from my childhood. They used to play this just before one of the TV stations went on the air and I was sometimes up to hear it. I didn't know what it was until I was well into adulthood.
