Listening to some now; thanks for the tip, a new name to me.

I see he's been playing with James Blood Ulmer, I bet that's some gig

Love is like jazz
You make it up as you go along
And you act as if you really knew the song
But you don't and you never will
So you flaunt your mistakes and you make them until
They
Were you

Love is like jazz
The same song a million times
The same song a million times
In different ways
In different ways
"Strange Fruit" with and without wind chimes

It's divine
It's asinine
It's depressing
And it's almost entirely window dressing
But it'll do

As a jazz lover, i also liked these couple of quotes

Jazz ain't nuthin' but a blues quartet falling down stairs

and a great man once said

I'd come into contact with Charlie Parker records and things like that, but they didn't hold my interest. I couldn't follow it. Same kind of argument that you'd get from people today, just "Huh, what are they doing? They just noodling around", you know. I mean, now I understand why they're noodling and where they're noodling, and I can tell the difference between good noodling and bad noodling, but without certain musical clues it just all sounded like noodles to me.

A wonderful compilation by the all knowing Eddie Piller, for those liking the lighter, cooler mod jazz.

My one and only prolongued exposure to jazz was in a bar in Chicago called Andy's Jazz Club, where I spent a very pleasant evening sat at the bar with the missus, consuming pretzels, cocktails and lite beer. To my uneducated ear the band sounded very decent, although with jazz, I can never quite get away from the feeling that they're just making it up as they go along.

Anyway the place was rammed, the atmosphere was fantastic, and the ovations of wooping and clapping at the end of every track was somehow genuinely endearing (I'm not normally a fan of wooping). It was on of the best nights of our trip. Any jazz fans who find themselves in the Windy City should definitely check it out.

Chicago is widely regarded to have been the most happening jazz city for a while, although London (see post above yours) is beginning to steal attention.

I'm starting to really enjoy jazz, but to a couple of venues in London, which have been good nights.

My Dad basically gave me all his vinyl collection when he and Mum moved last year, and that includes loads of jazz.

Trying to find out if there are any good places in Brighton to go and see jazz?

The Verdict in Edward Street opposite the Law Courts. Also a number of pubs have regular sessions often with free entry.
