I know that supposedly only 5% of Americans listen to Jazz. I'm hooked on 1960's-1950's jazz in particular, but also listen to everything jazz, including a lot of the very modern stuff. At the moment, my favorite is Bill Evan's Empathy . Two newer all-time favorites are Charlie Haden, Keith Jarret's 2010 Jasmine, and Ahmad Jamal's 2011 Blue Moon.

Jazz lovers, what's your favorite 50's/60's and current jazz?

Yeah, I like Jazz.
Not sure if I have an all-time, #1 player, song or album, but some people I enjoy more often than others would be Louis Armstrong, Stan Getz and Bill Evans.
Currently looking to pick up an Oscar Perterson album that featured Stan Getz.

...thinking about it a little more now, I guess if I had to pick one song overall, it would likely be Stardust...as played by Pete Fountain on a (now rare) album he put out in the early 60's.

Pretty cool stuff, Aozora.

Just posting a quick little update - I got the Oscar Peterson/Stan Getz album, AND, Coltrane's My Favourite Things. I think I spent less than $15 for both CD's.
Money well spent. I highly recommend both.

..and now, Clark Terry Pepper Adams in Stockholm, 1978

...drummer is Egil Johansen, bassist is Sture Noirdin and pianist is Lars Sjosten.

Enjoy! =)
 
Nothing like a well-worn sax!

I like listening to a wide range of music but tend to prefer Blues, Rock R&B. However, I can mellow out on jazz...

Always like reminding people that here in the Antipodes there's a lot of talent for relatively small populations (eg Australian jazz):
