Before I worried about modern jazz, I'd spend some time learning to appreciate hard bop jazz from the 50's and early 60's
Sonny Rollins
Dizzy Gillespie
Sonny Stitt
Art Blakey
Oscar Peterson
Thelonious Monk
etc.

Wish I knew some good modern jazz, I'm only recently getting into the classics.
The buildup on this is incredible:
The buildup on this is incredible:
Better than any modern you're likely to find.
Church it up piano soloist
Hip but understated stand up bass.
Black zombie drummer (nothing moves above the wrist)
And it rocks...
I only ever listen to podcasts and talk anymore, but I used to love Charlie Hunter particularly some of his covers.
Does UK still offer a class in History of Jazz?
Anybody else take it and learn what "Jelly Roll" refers to?

I took that class twenty years ago. Ron Pen? Dude is a genius. Jelly roll was a common term used in the N.O. brothels Jelly Roll played in, right....?
If you like big band Gordon Goodwin has a smoking band. Also, you MUST get to Comedy Off Broadway the LAST Monday of every month. DiMartino Osland Jazz Orchestra (DOJO) with basically every excellent jazz musician in Kentucky plays and it is incredible. SEriously, get it on your calendar and thank me later.

Fun fact: Wycliff Gordon recently has been playing quite a bit locally. I think he may have moved close by. Check out his discography
I used to turn my headphones up to walk past Too Many Zooz a lot on my daily commute and just took them for total ********. Who knew?
You should listen to his podcast - "Compared to What"
Started picking up on some types of jazz in the early 90's when I went into the USAF and soon began playing music with brothers and sisters
Some artists I just picked randomly and they stuck
Some were non guitar players by choice because I had read Ritchie Blackmore once say that aspiring guitarists should listen to horn players and copy their phrasing etc
Some were just on the radio when I could get good jazz stations during the drive (mostly Santa Barbara and Atlanta)
Earl Kluge
George Benson
Boney James
Rick Braun
Acoustic Alchemy doesn't quite fit in there but I like a lot of their stuff
Sampled some Duke Ellington, Ella Fitzgerald and others but don't have any of their recordings
Lately I've continued to go back and pull up old blues artists but also R&B
Latest music purchases:
North Mississippi All Stars
Sam and Dave
T-Bone Walker

I've had a couple of songs from this album stuck in my head for about a week. Not jazz, but jazzy:
KGATLW + Mild High Club - Sketches of Brunswick East
