dude they do still do jazz on lyric, and yes its still as awsome as ever.

Thanks for that. I'll check it out. It's just that there was a thread in the "Jazz and Blues" section recently saying it was either going or gone. Good to know it's still going.

yeh i usualy listen to it on the way into town but i havent done that in a while. pretty good stuff. probly my favourite genre despite my huge lack of knowlage about it

It's my favourite music. I have 100's of cd's on jazz alone. :cool:

If you look around the 2nd hand stores ( if you are into cd's that is ) you can get good jazz cd's for as little as 7 euros.

Jazz is a VERY big and varied music. If you are not too familiar with jazz, than some good albums to start with would be :

Miles Davis : Kind of Blue ( a "must have" in any jazz collection )

Weather Report : Heavy Weather ( a completely different type of "jazz" i.e. more modern and electric )

John Coltrane : A Love Supreme ( another "must have" )


I'm sure if you post in the "Jazz & Blues" section asking this question, you'll get lots of other recommendations.

iv heard of coltrane before but only from brian in family guy

He was very influential. Most modern day sax players borrow a lot from him.

Another name to look for that comes to mind is the late great Michael Brecker.
