I love Dave Brubek, Gerry Mulligan, Max Roach, Sonny Rollins, Charlie Parker, etc, along with plenty 70's jazz fusion bands like Weather Report, Return to Forever, Jean Luc Ponty, Al Dimeola, Billy Cobham, Deodato, etc.
One of my alltime favorite jazz albums was relesed in 1959 by The Dave Brubeck Quartet, called 'Time Out'. 'Blue Rondo a la Turk' is a fantastic cut from this LP. Dave was also classically trained, and his blending the classics with jazz back in the 1950's-60's was really quite unique. He really influenced the playing style of the great Keith Emerson of ELP fame. Keith in turn was in innovator when it came to fusing the classics/jazz with rock music in the late 60's with his band the Nice, and later with the great progressive rock band Emerson Lake and Palmer during the 1970's.
I love jazz, as it helped give birth to one of my favorite rock subgenres!
Rock music was derived from Jazz/blues. So Yes, I love it, and anyone CAN love it. Report It
