I'm just beginning to discover jazz at the age of 56, and I love this stuff.
I also like Miles Davis, Dave Brubeck and Gerry Mulligan.
How did I miss all this stuff when I was younger?
Better late than never.

Jazz is a beautiful journey that never ends.

@Michael Limbeck I just fell in love with Stan Getz band. And his collaboration with Charlie Parker. Wow. What a winning album.
When my 2 toddlers are getting rambunctious, a little jazz puts them at ease to 😴😴😴. Lol

This is the best comment thread ever. Everybody is so comforting and respectful...

Jazz just found it's way into my life.
It speaks to me, eases my pain and lets me hope, that it's never too late for anything.

This is my favourite new thing 👐🏽❤

@Doomy Blaze I´m Mexican to, and what you are sayin is a lie. One thing don´t goes with the other. try to open more your mind as a person bro. Music isn´t the reason of anything more than joy in this cases. I´m a musician to and used to say things like you. And you don´t get anything saying such things. Just enjoy. Be happy ,man.

@Doomy Blaze it depends what you define as rock. if you go toward some frank zappa or some underground prog, you can easy say they make jazz rock. that is also true for some miles davis stuff, like bitches brew.

At least I got to see McCoy Tyner at the Jazz Bakery about 20 years ago. To me John Coltrane is what jazz is all about. You master your instrument and then you go where the music takes you. I wish I could have seen him play in person. About 30 years ago there was a church in the Bay area where people would go and listen to Coltrane's music on a Sunday morning. Not a bad idea.

Coltrane would sometimes do a show playing just one song, experimenting, all night. When he told Miles that he sometimes didn't know how to stop, Miles said, "Why don't you just take the mufu*kin' horn out yo' mouth". Gold!

Here is a little insight of some feelings:

My favorite things is not a very easy song to like at first, but once you do it becomes your favorite. (The intro 0:17) However Everytime we say goodbye comes along and there is a piano solo, OMG!!! ( my favorite piano solo BTW- 15:45) It just conquers you with its elegance and sophistication. Summertime is the easiest one to fall in love with for they are fierce and ferocious. Coltrane captures you right in the beginning at 19:30 with his melody, Tyner is absolutely insane in conjunction with Elvin Jones, who is the best drummer I’ve ever heard. Look at that 27:00. (Huge sense of melody and control over the entire quartet), not to mention the splendid bass solo beginning at 25:30. It’s just breathtaking the song as a whole. Last but certainly not least But not for me is such a charming song and it feels so naive and innocent until the piano solo by Tyner, who wants to show that everybody is being playful and all BUT not him, he is taking it seriously, not like a harmless horseplay. He kills it and eats with knife and fork mercilessly. Amazing!! (Listen and check it out at 34:45).
I am rather apologetic for the long post, nevertheless I hope you find this relatable, if you do, I’ll be happy to know.

@Jack Lambert The delivery of air from the lungs to the horn isn't quite as simple as blowing in a random fashion. The vibrating reed within the mouthpiece is a key component in creating sounds. The technique anatomically of delivery the air in order to effectively vibrate the reed has technique and from what I've derived through some intro training...this technique needs to be more refined at the higher pitches. BTW...never in a million years having watched you frustrate quarterbacks in my youth would I have ever imagined deliberating saxophone with you on youtube. Better than having a signed jersey.
