Just lately I'm getting into some Jazz, but its got to be something different, progressive in fact. I'm at the mo listening to Billy Martin/Chris Wood/John Medeski and John Schofield playing 'Hanuman'

whats your best listenings of Progressive Jazz?

Wish I could respond but I'm not too sure what progressive jazz is...? I'm a Miles Davis/Chet Baker type of girl. But I can look into those names you mentioned and see if it's something I can get into.

Ah yes, Progressive Jazz--------late 40's and 50's-----my era of growing up

on the West Coast---------Stan Getz, Bud Shank, Dave Brubeck, Shelly Mann,Maynard Ferguson, Julie Christie & the Big Band Sound of Stan Kenton.

Best Jazz I ever came across was a band called Nahorny - Polish prog jazz from the 70's
