If you are ever visiting DC and dig live music, head to 11th and Q, to a spot called Bohemian Caverns. Monday nights (tonight) they have an 18(?) Piece big band, all I can say is wow!!

I love Big Bands .. I work as a musician and have been playing guitar for a 19 piece big band for 30 years . I started when I was 15. I also do solo and duo jazz guitar and play in a trio and quartet setting ..

Count me in, guys! There is NOTHING in the world to rival the power of a live big band. It's like riding a giant wave off the coast of Hawaii!

I've mellowed over time, and now prefer my jazz to be hard bop, say mid-1950s to mid-1960s. Blue Note RVG remasters are my favorites. They had a fabulous stable of musicians back then.

Thanks for the tip. As a local DC jazz fan, I've never been on a Monday night. Need to check it out.

I generally only like older Jazz personally. Man, I can sit here for hours listening to Glenn Miller, Benny Goodman, Louis Prima ( more swing though)etc. Listen to Esquivel, man that music is great. It's not really jazz but it is beautiful.

Found my Art Tatum cd under the couch, catching up to some great jazz piano.
