	Jazz (album) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It was the band's seventh studio album, and consisted of a mix of very different styles of music, from disco-funk ("Fun It") to vaudeville ("Dreamer's Ball") to rock and roll ("Dead On Time").
		The band had intended to sell the album with a poster depicting the all-female nude bicycle race staged to promote "Fat Bottomed Girls," but in the USA it was only available through mail-order so as not to upset retailers.
		The album artwork was suggested by Roger Taylor, who previously saw a similar design painted on the Berlin Wall.

	Miles Davis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		He was partially responsible for the development of modal jazz, and jazz fusion arose from his work with other musicians in the late 1960s and early 1970s.
		Playing in the jazz clubs of New York, Davis was in frequent contact with users and dealers of drugs, and by 1950, in common with many of his contemporaries, he had developed a serious heroin addiction.
		The resulting album is probably the best-loved and (according to the RIAA) best-selling jazz album ever, and also has proven to be a huge influence on other musicians.

		As the genre evolved, the music split into a number of different styles, from the speedy, hard-hitting rhythms of be-bop and the laid-back, mellow harmonies of cool jazz to the jittery, atonal forays of free jazz and the earthy grooves of soul jazz.
		Louis Armstrong was the first important soloist to emerge in jazz, and he became the most influential musician in the music's history.
		Lester Young was one of the true jazz giants, a tenor saxophonist who came up with a completely different conception in which to play his horn, floating over bar lines with a light tone rather than...

	Queen : Jazz - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		Jazz has been unfairly slagged in some quarters as an inconsistent and unfocused record; granted, there's a bit of filler cluttering the second half, but as for the latter criticism, it's not like A Night at the Opera wasn't all over the map.
		There are a few Freddie Mercury piano ballads and unusually hopped-up metallic rockers, but about half of Jazz is given over to quirky lyrics and/or stylistic detours (which, oddly enough, don't include any jazz, unless you count the music hall swing of "Dreamers Ball").
		It's difficult to discuss Jazz without referring to individual tracks one by one, since it can come off as a collection of moments, but its anything-goes diversity actually helps tie it together.

		Swinging and lyrical, spiritual and funky, Algo Mas is a jazz album that dances and a dance album that enthralls.
		Combining jazz, contemporary dance music and traditional Cuban forms ALGO MÁS is a hard swinging yet lyrical record that adds new dimensions to Latin Jazz and Jazz Flute.
		Brooklyn born, Mark was a trombonist, composer and innovator whose influential 1967 recording Cuban Roots introduced the Latin Jazz community to the concept of post-bebop performed with traditional Afro-Cuban drumming.

		The album has been receiving massive airplay on local radio jazz programmes and her music could be mistaken for that of established South African divas.
		With this album, she manages to bridge the age gap and cater for all ages of music lovers,” says a statement from her publicist.
		Although this is her first jazz album it is not her debut release, as she previously released a gospel album.

		Instead he's made an album that feels more like an experimental jazz album that is far more a musical offering, than a Hip-Hop album of well placed jazz sounds.
		This truly doesn't feel like either Jazz or Hip-Hop, but a more a electronic-Soul (does such a thing exist??), and the utterly dreamy singing of vocalist `Jennifer Charles` textures the song and gives it a depth & sophistication that the song just couldn't hope to realise without her considerable contribution.
		Also those that appreciate fusion in its various forms (especially Jazz Fusion) are most likely to be this albums most likely customers, or even those that have a truly eclectic ear for music, will find this a refreshing change of pace, either way...

	The bright spots in jazz's lousy 2002. By Fred Kaplan
		Verve, the most prolific of jazz labels a decade ago, has stripped its roster to less than a handful of artists, all of them sure-fire hit-makers, not a gamble among the bunch; its ratio of reissues to new recordings is approaching 10-to-1.
		Younger ones are redefining the field, drawing on the full range of jazz tradition as well as on new cadences from pop, hip-hop, classical, and "world music," and melding it all with their own visions, naturally, spontaneously.
		This is his first acoustic jazz album as a leader since '67, his first live album ever.

	NPR's Jazz Profiles: Herbie Mann
		NPR Jazz is sad to report the death of jazz flute player Herbie Mann.
		Unlike most of his contemporaries in jazz, when Mann began playing flute in 1940s he had no forefathers to learn from, no pioneers of jazz flute to idolize.
		He was forced to look elsewhere -- both inside and outside of jazz -- to develop his approach to jazz and the flute.

		Trumpeter Chris Botti is a gifted instrumentalist, a talented composer, and a charismatic performer who--since the release of his first solo album in 1995--has created a series of recordings that have made him a virtual genre-of-one in the realm of contemporary jazz.
		Botti's latest album, To Love Again, a collection of pop jazz standards from the acclaimed trumpeter and nine superstar guest vocalists, is a worthy successor to Botti's last RIAA gold-certified album, When I Fall In Love.
		Shortly after the album's release, When I Fall In Love jumped an astounding 109 spots--from #146 (week ending 11/14) to #37 (week ending 11/21) on the Top 200, the biggest single week's sales leap of any traditional jazz album recorded by an instrumental artist to be released in the SoundScan era.

		This is the one jazz record owned by people who don't listen to jazz, and with good reason.
		It was the key recording of what became modal jazz, a music free of the fixed harmonies and forms of pop songs.
		While it is ridiculous to call this "the greatest jazz album of all time", because of the incredible quantity and variety of jazz recordings available, this is definitely one of the greatest because of the breathtaking solos and groove.

	Drop Trio: groove-oriented organ-based funk jazz trio
		They don't really fit in with the avant-garde, the martini sippers or the purists; they're more for the young cats who like their jazz a bit funked up with lots of energy.
		Their sound simultaneously appeals to the jazz sophisticate and the jam band devotee, while their virtuosity earns them fans in unlikely camps.
		The band recently released their first full length studio album, Big Dipper, and they are gearing up for more regional tours to support it.

		His tone mellowed in time, with long, feathery lines; this can be heard on Breezin’, the first jazz album to sell a million copies.
		(This album was the model for many musicians, and may have indirectly led to the "smooth-jazz" genre of today.) While deeply admired as a guitarist, his true success has come as a singer, earning many Top Ten hits with his warm, easy voice.
		Benson’s recent albums have focused on pop, but always contain some guitar instrumentals for the jazz fans, who remain the core of his audience.

	New Gibraltar Encyclopedia of Progressive Rock V
		This would be a good album for younger folks into the alt-metal scene who are interested in what prog is all about, since it has a lot they can relate to already, with some good prog tendencies to keep the older generation interested too.
		This is certainly true on the four-part "Antiwar Requiem", which spans the album's first side: "Dies irae" greets the listener with a brusque drummachine beat in military mode and wave upon shrill, dissonant saw wave from the upper register of Varga's Roland Jupiter 8, sort of like a grim call-to-arms fanfare heralding a total war.
		Actually, album was totally overlooked, as also old thrashfans of the band didn’t like it and turned their backs to the band.

	Def Jazz - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		Def Jazz is the brainchild of record producer Tony Joseph, a former radio and club DJ who has enjoyed breakthrough sales with Unwrapped, a series of largely instrumental CDs fusing smooth jazz and hip hop.
		Def Jazz isn't as consistent as it could have been; some of the tracks are routine, pedestrian smooth jazz.
		Again, Def Jazz has its share of missteps, but the ups outnumber the downs and make this a CD that is generally worth exploring if you're the sort of eclectic listener who holds hip-hop and jazz in equally high regard.

	Biography Of Japanese Jazz Piano Artist - Hiromi Uehara
		The buzz started by her debut album spread all the way back to her native Japan, where Another Mind shipped gold (100,000 units) and won the Recording Industry Association of Japan's (RIAJ) "Jazz Album of the Year" Award.
		Brain received Swing Journal's "New Star Award," Jazz Life's "Gold Album," HMV Japan's "Best Japanese Jazz Album" and the Japan Music Pen Club's "Japanese Artist Award." When Swing Journal announced the results of its 2005 Readers Poll, Brain won "Album of the Year." Hiromi takes it up another notch with her January 2006 release, Spiral.
		A chance meeting with Chick Corea when she was 17 led to a performance with the well-known jazz pianist the very next day.

		It was also the first jazz album to go platinum, and the best-selling jazz record of all time to that point.
		The album became a turning point for a radical shift in both the production and reception of jazz.
		Critics, believing that rock and funk might be appropriating jazz to new musical ends—or more ominously, for commercial reasons—grew increasingly alarmed at what they saw as the beginning of the end of jazz.

		Hardcore jazz fans in the country who despair of the watered-down crap that often tries to pass itself as jazz may be in for a rare fix, as the group Johnny Alegre Affinity gears up to launch its long awaited debut album.
		Keeping one foot planted in his corporate responsibilities and another as an adventurous guitarist in the jazz scene has somehow enhanced his music - Being relieved of the spectre of the “starving jazz musician” has seemingly made the music less prone to falling into commercial compromises that have affected many promising local jazz recordings.
		Something this good can’t stay bottled up for long, so the band has decided to unleash their album to the public through a series of launch events planned together with Candid Records to bring the album to the attention of the public.

	Jazz by Queen CD
		Predictably, JAZZ didn't achieve the massive commercial success of it's predecessor, but in aesthetic terms, it's a solid statement, and a marked progression of the band's musical vision.
		Though the band was already well into their "eclectic" mode by this time, the stylistic ventures the band takes on this album bring them even further afield from the heavy rock they're best known for.
		The disco flavored "Fun It" could be a precursor to "Another One Bites The Dust," on their 1980 album, "The Game." "Jazz" can be highly praised for individual songs but the album as a whole is inconsistant.

		Along with "Take Five," the album features another one of the group's signature compositions, "Blue Rondo a la Turk." Though influenced by the West Coast-cool school, Brubeck's greatest interest and contribution to jazz was the use of irregular meters in composition, which he did with great flair.
		At the risk of recycling a cliche, it's one of those vital albums that transcends musical boundaries, and it's accessible to the masses while also remaining cutting edge.
		Other album cuts like "Three to Get Ready" and "Blue Rondo a la Turk" are timeless pieces that are so effortlessly graceful they seem to walk on water.
