Whether it's your first Bonnaroo or you’re a music festival veteran, we welcome you to Inforoo.
Here you'll find info about artists, rumors, camping tips, and the infamous Roo Clues. Have a look around then create an account and join in the fun. See you at Bonnaroo!!
i've been blessed with the "jazz format" at my college radio station... i've never been on the radio and it's kind of an accident that i'll even be on the air (i'm print journalism, not broadcast)....
but the point is....
i'd just like to get as many recommendations on some good music as possible from the inforoo community... this place has been a wealth of information over the past few years and i'm damned sure there are some jazz folks amongst us....
i'd like to see specific songs please.... maybe start with the legends, then give me bonnaroo artists, and so on and so on... and most definitely anything that is innovative or expands the genre....
Oliver Nelson - Hoe-Down, Stolen Moments Stan Kenton - Feugo Cubano Miles Davis - Blue In Green, Song No. 1, John McLaughlin, Aos Pes Da Cruz Hank Mobley - Split Feelin's, Soul Station Dave Brubeck - Take Five Gunnison - Feeding Mitch
Edit: just noticed you wanted specific songs... changed it up, I tried to list songs that weren't too ridiculous in length, to fit the radio format and whatnot

dude i have to say, its been a while since ive heard it....and i know its more blues...but the "jesus just left chicago" cover by phish on the live phish 14 (the halloween, white album cover) always reminds me of bad ass jazz.....but its a long song..

sorry just realized that wasnt much help
I think thats live phish 15, but its not long for a jazz song. Obviously some MMW would be a good pick too. 'Slightly All The Time' by Soft Machine is a good song, and any Miles Davis would do it.
Edit: I actually believe Chick Corea plays on John McLaughlin. Also Black Napkins by Frank Zappa off YCDTOSA Vol 6.

Anything from Miles Davis, Kind of Blue. John Coltrane - A Few of my Favorite Things Maceo Parker has an Album called Mo' Roots. I highly recommend the cover of Let's Get it On from that album. The Garland Trio - C Jam Blues and Willow Weep for Me(From the album Groovy. You will dig the whole album. It's aptly titled) John Scofield - The Low Road You can't go wrong with the live version of Sing Sing Sing from the Benny Goodman Orchestra recorded at Carnegie Hall.
Also check out Charlie Parker, Jimmy Smith, Charlie Hunter quartet/trio.

Oh yeah. College radio is some of the most fun you can have in your life. Take advantage of it. Hopefully you can eventually play your own stuff. I had several shows in college. My solo show was called "One Step Beyond" where I chose a topic for the day and played songs that fit the topic but took the music one step beyond the given topic. I had a blues show with my friend. We are both named Paul and so we called the show "It takes Pauls to play the Blues." We used to do the "4:20 dose of the Allman Bros" ( we had a lucky time slot). We would put on some long live tracks like Stormy Monday and head out to the woods behind the station. I also invented a character called the disgruntled Bastard who did fake news spots that were absolutely hysterical.

Jazz,
You've got the real old time stuff, classics, and the experimental stuff.
You might check out The best of Ken Burns jazz, from his show. There are some great collections out there. Some of my collection shifts towards blues.
There are a bunch of great jazz shows around the country that could provide overview of subject groupings. My guess is that you will learn a great deal from this experience.
Good luck.
My collection has Stanley Clarke/George Duke Abby Lincoln Billy Holiday Bob James Charlie Parker Claude Bolling Shirley Horn Tom Scott Larry Carlton Al Porter Dave Gruisin David Sanborn George Benson Jimmy Rushing Joe Henderson Joe Turner

great lists-you might want to check out philadelphia's WRTI , www.wrti.org/ , for some ideas. They have a night time jazz format, and i almost always enjoy what they have on. i wish i could be as specific as the other posters, but i listen to jazz on the radio and dont know what i'm listening to 95% of the time.
