Any Ideas On Any Jazz Mandolin Players To Listen To?

[SternART]

Yeah.......Jazz!!!

I'm with Emonortem........listen to real jazz, on traditional jazz instruments.......I like the 50's and 60's stuff best myself. Django Reinhardt & Stephane Grappelli is a good place to start for jazz on acoustic instruments.

Chris Biesterfeldt -Urban Mandolin. Great stuff. Just mandolin, upright bass and drums.

[Mandolin Cafe]

Give Tim Connell a listen a true trailblazer

[mandroid]

As i said, (repeating myself) and listen to Jazz violinists, too ..

[Glassweb]

The fact that Andy Statman's name was only mentioned ONCE (now twice) on this thread is a crying shame...

[Bob Visentin]

Chris Biesterfeldt Urban Mandolin. Covers many genres of jazz. Monk, Weather Report,Jimmy Smith, even Brian Willson's "God Only Knows".

As a mandolinist-guitarist-bassist in jazz, I second all the suggestions to listen to the original jazz artists, often horn players, for the authentic feel of the music. Most innovations and important styles in jazz were developed by the horn players, so listen!

And start with Louis Armstrong.

[John Garcia]

Tom Bekeny, who plays with Kathy Kallick also is a jazz player

Yeah,,the trumpet players really know where it's at,,,and piano players are in a league by themselves,,,,

[Uke Richard]

Aaron Weinstein is not only a great jazz violinist, he also plays jazz mandolin.

[Charlie Bernstein]

Don Stiernberg.
