Wow. Great stuff so far. I like big band stuff (basie, buddy rich and some of the newer groups- Lincoln Center and Mingus Big Band- also Brian Setzer Orchestra)
-UNT 1oclock lab band recordings
-Bela Fleck and the flecktones- esp. Victor Wooten on bass
-Kurt Elling (jazz singer- he's got an awesome voice)
-Jane Monheit (same as above)
-Charlie Parker, Dizzy, Miles, Coltrane, Coleman Hawkins
-Clayton/Hamilton trio and big band
but when i really need to smile- hands down Maceo Parker, Pee Wee Ellis and Fred Wesley- James Browns former horn section. -- esp. 'Life on Planet Groove' its just plain fun to listen to.
