I've been playing jazz for many years and am also a very big fan of the genre. I was wondering if anybody else here is and who there favourite artists are. Mine personally would be

Miles Davis (who else...)
Thelonius Monk
and Charles Mingus

I like a bit of jazz, but I gravitate more towards blues. My main thing is punk, but they are still pretty good though. One of my favorite animes has an almost all jazz & blues soundtrack, and the composer who did the soundtracks, Kajiura Yuki, is pretty awesome.

I only got into jazz once I started playing it myself to be honest. I've grown to love it so ridiculously much though, such passionate music.

I used to think Ray Charles was like Randy Newman until I heard some of his songs on WFMU. Then I was like, "He's dah cooest!" Hit the Road Jack, and don't you come back no more no more no more no more!!!!

I'm a fan of Randy Newman, I can only really take him in small doses. Improv is definately the best part of jazz for me. Listening to a really good improv on CD(not mp3) is just fantastic.
