Reverend is cheating with that creative mind jabber. It's the voice (IMHO :tongue: )

I always thought the French Horn was damn sexy

I like the alto sax a lot and the trumpet,,, but vocals are right up there for me as well... Although in Jazz I do lean towards instrumentals far more than I do in my rock listening...

You're just wishin' you'd come up with it!

It surprises me that so many people like instrumental jazz more then vocals. Strange. Can someone give me a reason?

I think it's because it's more easy listening...theres not a lot to think about with just the music. You can have it going in the background and you don't have to concentrate on it to enjoy it if you know what I mean.

yeah, that could be it....maybe.

Actually for me it is the exact opposite in terms of the jazz I often listen to (Miles, Monk, Coltrane, Ornette Coleman)... The interumental stuff is so complex that it often does take some concentrated listening.. I do like jazz vocals too and the lighter "cool" jazz instrumental style that is good for background music... But, I listen to that 50's and 60's more experimental stuff the most (although some of Coltrane's and Coleman's stuff goes too far for my tastes at times)...

I suppose that could be it too! Perhaps the vocals just makes the music less complicated?

I don't really know actually but I'd rather listen to instrumentals than jazz with vocals. I can just have it on in the background and kind of forget about it while I'm enjoying it. If I don't really concentrate on it it's as if the tracks don't end and it's continuous music which I enjoy.

I got to go with other i am a Trumpet player and i love the sound of it
