Hi-
Jazz music has always interested me, but I was never exposed to it for a long enough period of time for it to really take hold. Awhile back I decided I was going to make a concerted effort to get into jazz, so I went out and picked up a bunch of jazz albums that are considered “essential”. I picked up some Miles Davis, Charles Mingus, John Coltrane, and a few other notable albums to kick things off and so far I have been enjoying these immensely. Anyway, it’s been a learning process for me, and as of right now I have more than enough jazz albums to digest. For this mix I whipped together a somewhat longer set consisting of some of my newfound jazz favorites. I know most of these songs are considered “classic” in the realm of jazz, but I am playing catch-up, so please forgive me if you’ve heard all or any of these. If you have any jazz recommendations for me please let me know.
Also, I am attempting to streamline this site into the sheik modern masterpiece it deserves to be, do you think it looks ok? I want to get rid of the sidebar and allow the whole site to function in a very simplistic manner. We’ll see how it goes though, I am a fairly shitty web designer so it is taking me a second to figure out how to make my dreams a reality.
And I have been thinking that I would maybe post some classical music up here, what do you think? I recently got a 7 record Beethoven boxset that is really good, so maybe you’d like that? Anyway, make a request if there is something in particular you’d like to hear.
