    Some questions first…

    What have you tried that you’ve liked? Is there an instrument or sound you particularly want highlighted?

    For example, if you’ve been enjoying jazz vocalists (Dinah Washington, I love you) then that’s quite different to sitting you down with the Miles Davis back catalog for maximum trumpet all the time. If you’re vibing with the classic Basie big band sound (1930s and early 40s) then I don’t want to send you looking 40 years later.

    What’s your vibe so far?

      I think I’m more into jazz piano and guitar at the moment, more cool jazz. I am also partial to big band and vocal stuff. I love a good double bass too. Think Oscar Peterson Trio, the other famous jazz people, Art Blakeley etc

      Have probably listened to vocal jazz the least but am open to recs!

        For guitar, you’re definitely going to want Django Reinhardt. Totally unique technique, since he only really had one functional hand. If you ever see a photo of him, you’ll see it - the fingers on his left hand were so badly burned he couldn’t use most of them

        Emily Remler is a personal favourite. Wes Montgomery. Gabor Szabo.

        Piano…Art Tatum, Herbie Hancock and Dave Brubeck. PARTICULARLY for Brubeck, an album called Take Five. Duke Ellington was also personally a pianist, though he veers into big band sound more than the others I’ve named
