Jazzy Stuff

[Caesium Iodide]

I cannot possibly be the only fur who has a love for jazz. I prefer orchestral jazz, but that's me being biased from jazz band three years in a row...


My favorite jazz artist is Glenn Miller and His Orchestra.    He has a lot of commonly known jazz like "In The Mood" and "Moonlight Serenade."




Also, I really like this song.

Nice song.  If you like big band swing stuff you might like Big Bad Voodoo Daddy.  A great modern group keeping the swing hot.


Here's a nice Latin Jazz take on Wanna Be Like You from the Jungle Book


Big Bad Voodoo Daddy - I Wanna Be Just Like You


Dat horn section! *faints*

I don't listen to jazz often... I couldn't name a jazz song if I tried.

Because I play Bari sax as my marching, concert and jazz band instrument, I can't help but say "Dat Bari though" and swoon. And it's all because a Bari sax gets those low notes and well, jazz ballads with a soloist on Bari is superb!

I love this song so very much! Features a Bari sax solo and wonderful harmonies!!


I have dreamed of playing this song, even though I'm not skilled yet. But I will work for it.

"The bari thought of you"   That's awesome!


I had a friend play bari for me in a music exam covering the part a tuba was meant to play.  Sounded better IMHO but it was some hellish work for the guy (normally plays tenor) his lips were literally bleeding at the end!


This is more big band fun


Cherry Poppin Daddies - Master and Slave

Bari sax and guns are in the same boat, as it slowly moves due to the weight of them. But I love playing Bari in jazz. It fits better than in concert.



A really fun song I had played in 8th grade jazz band;

"The Chicken" I can't think of who it's by at the moment but it says in the video I think.

Moni busts out the funk jazz fusion!  So modern!


Duke Ellington is pretty amazing, this is one of my favourite pieces of his.  There are so many interpretations but this piano solo makes me feel something special.

I have only recently started getting into jazz

Smooth jazz Nyan cat... nice one Ulfur!





Here's a version of That Old Black Magic as a duet.


You may recognise Louis Prima as the voice of King Louie from the Jungle Book movie.

Hmmm. Well hello friends. If you ever get the chance, you should look up "St. Thomas" by Sonny Rollins. It's been stuck in my head all morning!

[Trixsie Vixen]

Yay!  Jazz is alive and well!


*climbs into Moni's head to listen*

AHH!! Salutations friends! It's been too long since I've posted here. But, as first Bari in my high school jazz band, I will tell you that shall begin to do improv solos on the saxophone, which are very frightening when competing at state level. But you only get better at something if you practice!~

[Caesium Iodide]

I'm not sure if this thread even…

Salutations once more! Today I went to my first high school level jazz competition and we placed first! Of course the whole band was surprised because we sounded awful, apparently not if we got first… but anyway, I figured I'd share that with anyone else who appreciates jazz like I do.
