Stan Getz 、kenny Burrell、仲有經e度有高人介紹既chick corea

Chick Corea is very good -- I watched him live once with his band (think it is called Return to Forever) @ Blue Note in NYC and he was great (and charged great as well!! )

However my favourite is still Bill Evans for his ballads and then the genius Thelonious Monk.  Keith Jarrett is also great and Duke is, well, Duke.

I have got most of Stan Getz's records and while his best know albums are bossa nova era, my personal choice for him is actually his earlier works (try to find his 3-record set called ROOST recordings -- < 300HKG in the package of orange).

And if you are new to the JAZZ world I will strongly recommend you try to find a 10-DVD set of "JAZZ : The Movie by Ken Burns".  It will tell you how jazz is evolved and the leading musicians in different stages (swing / big band / cool / bebop / bossa nova, etc).

Highly recommended.

i like john coltrane!!!~

I have most of Coltrane's works but I am still struggling to appreciate his late works -- I can still appreciate A Love Supreme, but Ascension is just too much for me.  Maybe a bit too much African elements for my liking.

Still a fabulous musician none-the-less.
