I'm sad I can't play the piano. I can peck at notes, and learn how to play one handed melodies, but that's about it. I do play the alto saxaphone and clarinet though. Both useful in jazz (the later more in dixie land bands though).
I'm going to Cedar Rapids this Friday to perform. Jazz season has finally begun!

Woohoo! A fellow clarinetist as well!
Jazz clarinetists are in very short supply nowadays...

I don't really play jazz. I suppose you could call me classically trained, but I'd use that term loosely. I like ragtime, gospel, classical, or whatever. I just haven't had a chance to play jazz. I've been playing piano for close to a decade (gah, it's been that long?! ).
I would like to play trumpet in a Dixieland Combo though. I love that New Orleans dixieland sound.

I play clarinet in my school jazz band. I love the music, but playing the clarinet in it kinda stinks, becuase in all the songs we play theres only a few songs with clarinet parts. We usually end up playing trumpet parts, or not playing at all. I've been playing the tenor sax for a year, so I think I'm going to play that in jazz band next year instead of clarinet.

Ask your band director to let you play some Pete Fountain.

I have just found a wonderful CD. Playboy's Jazz After Dark. I know what you're thinking -- "A Playboy CD? How good can that be?" I thought the same thing. But I was wrong. It's a great 2 CD set with the first CD being nothing but instrumentals from the likes of Miles Davis, Thelonius Monk, John Coltrane, and others. The second CD is filled with vocal songs from Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, Tony Bennett, Diana Krall and a bunch of others.
I love this CD. It has re-ignited my love of jazz.

You see, I was looking for the soundtrack to Pirates of the Caribbean in Wal-Mart and the Jazz section was right next to the soundtrack section. Then I saw a CD with a Playboy bunny logo on the front. So just because of the pure shock of seeing a Playboy bunny logo on a CD, I had to pick it up. Then I looked at it and saw that it seemed to be a good CD. So I bought it.
And that's how it happened. Honestly.

Oh, lay off the guy... it's not like anybody with Internet access pays for nudie pictures anymore.
(On the other hand, not that many people pay for CDs, either...)

Jazz
Anything and everything to do with jazz! I started talking about it in the Classical Music thread, and Elfhelm had the good idea of starting its own thread - probably because I was leading everyone off topic.
This was my post about jazz: Quote:
Then we started talking about different jazz instruments. Bass clarinet was one, and jazz oboe another! My brother has played his oboe in a jazz performance, but I did not get to hear him. Jazz is cool.

I think I'll merge this with the other jazz thread that I seem to remember being around here... Later edit: merge successful.
