My dad listened to jazz. After he died my mom worked two, sometimes three jobs. I asked her for a radio alarm clock so I wouldn't have to wake her in the morning when i went to school. I fell asleep to "jazz in the night" on the local public radio affiliate every night. The Kings of Bebop played the soundtrack to my dreams. Today I listen to a little of everything.I'm not very knowledgeable, but listen to jazz way more than any other form of music, due to my local npr station switching from blues to jazz, and my deep contempt for commercial radio. Folks with more experience than me are welcome to join in.
Thanks. I'll get to hear the local weather for my niece and her family who live in one of the Denver el rancho 'burbs.Check out KUVO jazz, local station out of Denver. Lots of cool shows, anything from smooth yanni shit to tripped out fusion, and the Latin Soul Party at 8pm on fridays is hilarious, like cheech and chong style and lots of Santana... they stream at kuvo.org
Yes.Also check out Medeski Martin and Wood, and john Schofield if you like more funk-jam type jazz
