Any Jazz fans here?

i'm surprised you guys didn't mention louis armstrong. i'm not that a big fan of jazz but i like his songs. a kiss to build a dream on was one of my favorite.

Jared,
I forgot to mention that one of the most exciting shows I ever worked was Dave Brubeck and Marian McPartland. They played dueling piano duets at Ravinia. It was like four hands of the same body playing. Most of the time they didn't even look at each other.

I envy you so much right now. Brubeck is one of my favorites. who acompanied them?

[Al Skierkiewicz]

While on piano, they were the only ones playing. I was lucky enough to be onstage during rehearsals.

That's still amazing. I would love to go see Brubeck live and hear him play my three favs, "Take Five," "Blue Rondo a La Turk," and "Three to Get Ready"

That is crazy awesome, Al!
Miles Davis is a fan of many, I know. Then again I went to Magnet Art schools for 7 years so having Jazz Bands was a thing. Louis Armstrong was good as well. I never really looked into who played what, though (I never really have for any genre.)
