music Thunder-Dash's Jazz, Swing, Bebop, Blues and Latin Music Thread

[Courageous Thunder Dash 7,824]

Well, since there are other genre threads, here's the thread dedicated to everything jazz and latin music, since those two genres are heavily connected with each other. 

 

Here are some of my favorite jazz pieces.

[Mutemutt 773]

A jazz and latin topic? I can dig it. How about this tune: Pick up the Pieces

That solo is one of my favorites. 

 

This one's not quite as classic but it's still really good. And that solo . Kaori Kobayashi is an amazing saxophonist.

The sultry sounds of the alto sax are just irresistible.

I was going to start one of these but it looks like you already beat me to the punch, of course speaking of beats I will start off by laying a few down from Dave Brubek.

Oh yeah! Take Five! A classic. I grew up with that stuff. I absoutely love that guy. That 5/4 feel is just soooo legendary. But that other one I don't know that well.

I played both of those songs when I was the piano player in the jazz band in high school, apparently the inspiration for Blue Rondo Ala Turk came from this one form of music that Dave Brubek heard while he was in Turkey that is similar to blues.
