Stan Kenton - Malanguenia or some spelling of that. Being a trumpet player, that song makes me cream my pants every time at the 1:58 mark....
Charlie Parker, Cannonball Adderley, Dexter Gordon, John Coltrane, Thelonius Monk, Art Pepper, Denis Diblasio, Nick Brignola, Lester Young, Nick Brignola, Dave Brubeck, Gerry Mulligan, Dizzy Gillespie, Stan Getz, Don Menza, the list is endless.
good jazz in a nutshell i dont think i see Charles Mingus dizzy gillespie is the shit though i think i should add
charlie parker, ella fitzgerald, duke ellington, john coltrane, the bad plus, dave brubeck, even some harry connick jr, nina simone, and some vince guaraldi trio. that's my jams. if you want some jazz-infused indie rock to go along with that, check out euphone or sleepytime trio there's also a "beatles jazz" album out thats jazzed up versions of a lot of the beatles hits/singles. check it out.
i;d love to know these beatles jazz hits, i have the beatles discography and have never heard a jazzed up beatles track
i doubt it was done by the beatles, in fact i'm fairly certain it's not. probably some indie kids dicking around and stuff. notable track is blackbird, the version of 'let it be' is a bit too calypso/reggae for my taste, that song is best a beatle-done track. (don't get me wrong, i love reggae). i have it on my iPod only, and have no way to transfer it to the computer. i would try looking on soulseek or limewire first, but if you can't get it free you can probably buy it from iTunes. good luck!
