Rather than starting a new thread, I hope I can get some direction from this one.

I'm pretty open to music genres but the only music I can listen to from the radio is Jazz. Unfortunately it's so spotty as to what exactly is playing. Usually it's just not what I want to hear but I'd really love give the time for Jazz. I'd love to give a listen to all these artists, but my internet is run by hamster wheels and downloading speeds forbid it in a reasonable time... Please, could any of you recommend me some specific artists or songs of faster paced,up beat jazz to listen to? I doubt that's proper terminology, hopefully you know what I mean >,>. Ideally without vocals (I tend to zone into instrumentation and composition of songs, I find many songs rely too much on vocals), but I'm not all that picky if it sounds great

Giant Steps by John Coltrane is a really classic album, and It's pretty fast moving. Art Blakey's album Moanin! is also very good. I've been listening to those two recently.

You're in luck! I think by definition Jazz is instrumental, so with any luck you shouldn't find any vocals

An album previously put up 'Saxophone Collosus' by Sonny Rollins is an ideal starting point imo, quite upbeat but also varied and fairly easy listening.

Thanks so much, I really appreciate it!

I loved the song Giant Steps off that album the most, has such a classy charm to it. I haven't managed to get a hold of Art Blakey's album yet, still downloading =/. I went off memory and accidentally downloaded Sonny Rollin's Sonny Side Up instead of Saxophone Collosus, so I'm still waiting for that one to finish. But I loved the album more than Giant Steps, especially the song The Eternal Triangle

There are many of Jazz albums which are my favourite one from which I would like to mention few of them.
1. John Coltrane - A Love Supreme
2. Miles Davis - Kind Of Blue
3. Cannonball Adderly - African Waltz
4. Dave Brubeck - Time Out
From these also A Love Supreme is great introduction to the Jazz album.

Caution: thread revival in progress. Again, thread revival in process.

Dark Magus - Miles Davis - is a great live jazz album, funky in a James Brown, Jimi Hendrix way. The album clocks in at about 101 minutes.

Monk's Dream - Thelonous Monk - is one of my favorite Monk albums; one of my favorite albums for that matter.
