no, i'm not an expert or anywhere close to being an expert in this genre... in fact, i'm not even an amateur...
about two days ago, i stumbled across some songs by diana krall and it sounded absolutely perfect at that moment... so i've been listening to more songs from her, reading up a little bit and i found out that although she's singing jazz but she'd put an element of rnb or something like that to spice it up...
so i went in search for pure jazz and out comes the name of nat 'king' cole everywhere i looked... and his voice was just sublime...
now... i know i can't judge jazz based on a legend and an artist who mixes things up... but from what minimal amount of jazz i've heard so far, it's pretty cool...
so that got my interest up (but considering how bored i've been, this might lead up to nothing at all) and i'm just interested to get to know jazz a little bit more intimately...
can anyone suggest a good jazz cd for a beginner? i would appreciate that a lot... =)
