hey i was wondering if anyone ever listens to music from the swing/jazz era, 20-40's. i love this music, just today i dug out my old lp's thats right even some ancient 78's. some of my favorites are bing crosby, glen miller, the ink spots. and louis armstong, and bix biderbeck are may favorite jazz trumpet players.

Fly me to the moon was done by Frank Sinatra, but i'm not sure if it was HIS song. And swing is rad.

Oh, yeah, I really enjoy some of the big band and swing type stuff, and I also enjoy "What a Wonderful World". :thumb:

Fly Me To The Moon was written by Bart Howard, and was sung by Frank Sinatra. just so happened Anno Hideki liked the song, and decided to shove it in Evangelion.

now i have 22 versions of that song, of course including the original Franky one. so many remixes... there are supposed to be 30 odd of them... all thanks to NGE...

Frank Sinatra is the only 20~40s guy i listen to.

Jazz, rag, blues, etc. are the most fun to play on piano because they have so much that you can pour your soul into. I like listening to Jazz, but I LOVE to play it.

Hmm, I like some swing, but jazz by itself gets on my nerves really fast. However, I love big band. Anything by Judy Garland, Gene Kelly, Doris Day. I'm into musicals big time, if you can't tell.

I would say there are times I enjoy jazz....my old school I went to had a really nice jazz band....it was fun to listen to them preform. (mind you this was not some tiny garage jazz band...there was like 120 members)

I like the clarinets in jazz, mainly because ... (coughs and mumbles) .. I used to play one. (walks off quickly)
