Big Jazz fan.
Grew listening to the big bands because of my dad.
He played with swing bands 1938 -1942 then WWII sent him to the pacific.
My dad told me when this young drummer (age 16) joined his band.
His name was Louie Bellson. They remained friends for years.

If I walked into a room full of people and said that I like jazz, everybody within earshot would hear a different type of jazz, and respond according to whether each heard something s/he liked or not, and most likely it would not be the type of jazz that I would be referring to. The field of jazz is that broad. Here are some ideas of my preferences...

There is a wide range within jazz of the more quiet and melodic variety, duos, trios.

I think that's why I like it cuz the spectrum is wide.

Some call it 'Free Form Jazz', some call it 'Fusion'.

Gil Scott Heron wrote this song about where Record shops would put his music.
Think he hit the nail on the head when he called it 'Midnight Music'!
He enters the song at the 3:58 mark.

One of the great voices from the 60's.

'Is That Jazz' - Gil Scott Heron

I had the good fortune to see many of the jazz greats perform - Dave Brubeck, Ahmad Jamal, Louis Armstrong, Dizzy Gillespie, Trummy Young, Duke Ellington, Stan Getz, Lionel Hampton, Geo. Shearing, Oscar Peterson, Eroll Garner, Gene Krupa, etc. as well as some of the "big bands" (e.g. Henry Mancini) Chicago and several cities downstate were meccas for jazz in the 1950s with places like Mr. Kelly's, The Blue Note, The London House, Black Orchid, etc. In addition, I attended a university that had a reputation for bringing in the best bands (Mancini, Armstrong, Stan Kenton, Benny Goodman, etc.
