It doesn't need to be stickied, we had way to many up there. Post your pics and info, if anyone wants to check it out, they will. Sticking the thread won't make more ppl check it out, stuck threads get overlooked the most.

You into jazz fam?

Very much so. When I was younger I dont think I quite understood what Jazz meant to the culture. About a year or two ago I began to study and listen to this art-form more intently. Neo soul and Jazz is just about it for me. I'll never give up on Rap , but right now its not much out there for me. What about you ?

same here my father is a die hard jazz fan: dexter gordon , hank mobley, art blakely, miles davis, Coltrane of course, Max Roach etc. in my younger days jazz just sounded like a bunch of nonsense but after listening to it thoroughly and recognizing the different inflections Coltrane would use or the different drum patterns Art Blakley would use it crazy. Can forget Thelonius Monk who imo i consider the ODB of jazz.
