Who likes jazz?? And who are your favorites? What albums? Or something that has some good saxophone riffs? Any suggestions?? I need some good smoking music!
I've been listening to a lot of Johnny Cash. I also bought Lovin' Spoonful and Lou Reed. It's a change from my usual style of music, but a welcome one. The end saxophone riff on "Take a Walk on the Wild Side" is deadly! Way too short though :smiley19: Anyways, that leads me to this post :smiley20:
i like jazz, but i'm usually pretty picky about it, i like Bud Powell and Thelonious Monk, any jazz song with singing i hate.
I don't know much about jazz, but my smoke shop has DirectTV and they have it on the jazz music channel often, and I likes what I hears. :smiley9:
Afro-cuban jazz :smiley20:
Never did figure out jazz. I like the blues. :smiley20:

Second the Coltrane and Parker. Also, any Miles Davis or Thelonious Monk! And if you want to toss some swing/big band stuff in, Louis Armstrong, Glenn Miller and Duke Elington are all great! :smiley20:

I dig some blues, some Johnny Cash, and then there is the old stand by.....PUNK ROCK. Yeah, I'm a loser, haha. I usually don't listen to a whole lot of punk rock when I smoke though.

I've got a Sirius satelite radio and listen to mostly blues or classic country. Add R.L. Burnside to that list and you hit most of my favorites.Quote:

Do you have digital cable or satellite? They generally have a lot of channels dedicated to certain music tastes. Run your speaker "out" lines to your stereo and you've got CD quality, 100% music channels to enjoy!
Since cigar smoking is an art of relaxation, relaxing music would be best. Classic Jazz, Classical, etc. Frankly, I mostly listen to rock because I'm a rock kind of guy.
I have Sirius radio on my satellite dish. The Metal channel gets a bit of use when my dad isn't home :smiley32:
The Elvis station gets a lot of use when he is, so I hide upstairs in my room.
Jazz lover here too. Nothing better than listening to live jazz in a small club while smoking a fine cigar. Life does not get better than that, IMO.
For home listening, Miles Davis is a favorite. "Kind of Blue" is a classic and a great introduction to jazz.
Miles Davis really does it for me, especially Kind Of Blue (So What and Freddie Freeloader are the best on that album). Just some awesome relaxed, funky, laid back kind of stuff. I also like a few of Diana Krall's and Ella Fitzgerald's Ballads. Again, relaxed, laid back. :smiley14:
I'm a Jazz lover too. Ben Webster, Miles, Billie Holyday, to name a few, are always welcome in my house during smoking time.
Ohhh, Pyrofish. You need to embrace Elvis. Elvis, who I still love (headed to Memphis in October) taught me about guys like BB King, Big Boy Crudup, Muddy, Sonny Boy, T-Bone Walker, Son House.Quote:

The blues, cold beer, bbq-ed pig, and a tasty stogie--it just don't get any better!
Moo
i enjoy listening to big band/rat pack era jazz.
a newer guy named matt dusk... has some great tunes.. on his older album..
Lou Reed... Take a walk on the wildside! :smiley36:
The Dave Matthews Band :smiley20:
Any other Jazz is a close second. :smiley37:

I do enjoy some good old jazz, though... Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, Chick Webb, that whole crew... Can't stand that "lite jazz" crap... But I must admit to having some Diana Krall around; she just makes me think dirty thoughts :)
Diana Krall, .... (Drooling), She's definitely hot. :smiley15:Quote:

Chet Baker (like a lot of his stuff)
Miles Davis (amazing)
Benny Goodman (the things he did with that clarinet, oh baby)
Duke Ellington (cool cat)
Louis Armstrong (happy music, how could you not be when you listen to this guy!?)
Sinatra (P-I-M-P)
Glenn Miller (good, especially the In The Digital Mood album)
Rat Pack (fun group)
I love Miles, Stitt, Trane, Errol Garner, tons others. Right now I'm diggin' early Joe Henderson a la "In'n Out" and "Page One"
Sometimes it feels like the real Jazz died after 1960 or 62.

Fired up Musicmatch on demand tonight and I'm exploring 'Afro-Cuban Jazz.' This is some good stuff!
This would especially be good to listen to on a warm day, cool breeze, ocean view, mojito in hand, cigar in the other after a good meal.
Ohhhh yeah...:smiley20:
