Jazz in a Classic Mood

[JHC]

Bandwagon jumping is a good term teddy. Some jazz musicians had classical training and can switch back to playing classical very well but for someone who is immersed in classical with no hands on experience in jazz it is extremely unlikely that they will perform in a fluid and convincing way. You have to feel jazz within you to be convincing, IMHO that is.

I agree Colin. That goes for several styles of music.

Jazz Classic Mood. Strictly jazz, featuring Ray Nance on violin, lovely notes, dirty notes, and filthy low down notes, and sheer beautiful notes.

Thanks for the nudge towards Chico Hamilton. Excellent stuff. How jazz can be beautiful and also swing.
Buddy Collette's laid back solo, and the ever tasteful guitar of Jim Hall.
Cellist Fred Katz was also a group member later.

Upright bass???????????????? is there any other kind

Presumably not bass guitar which many of 'em now refer to as just a bass.
