If you were in a Jazz Band, what instrument would you play?

[Pierre.Suave]

Me, probably the Saxophone or Piano.

edit, put Trumpet on my list too.

[MrCoffee]

1. Washboard or spoons.

[Pierre.Suave]

10. You would bring the Zydeco influence?

Cool.

[MrScorpio]

2. Bass

I'd be just like Ron Carter

[Blue-Jay]

3. I dunno...

[Pierre.Suave]

7. Awesome

I have decided to learn to play an instrument so I CAN play jazz.

[RainDog]

14. click - save!

men who play instruments that require their tongues and lips are my idols.

hubbahubba

[Blue-Jay]

22. Then again...

[flvegan]

24. Pretty subtle fretwork there, friend.

:D

[Blue-Jay]

26. With a finger like that, who needs a capo?

heh.

[Book Lover]

4. Myself

Singing, you dirty minded people! :rofl:

[Pierre.Suave]

6. LOL

you know thats right where I went...

:P

[Starbucks Anarchist]

5. Piano or drums.

[Pierre.Suave]

8. Both good choices

I can see myself playing drums too.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

13. I'm listening to Eric Dolphy right now.

He's got Roy Haynes on drums. :thumbsup:

[Elidor]

9. In high school I switched for a year from tenor sax to bass sax

And the band director loaned me his custom jazz mouthpiece. Jebus, that thing was hot! Every note had oomph! I loved it. I also played tuba, and there is actually some good tuba/euphonium jazz out there.

[Pierre.Suave]

11. I am jealous

I am going to learn to play.

[Elidor]

12. I'm saving up for a guitar at the moment

I haven't owned one in several years, and I miss playing. It will always be my favorite instrument.

[Bennyboy]

15. Vibes......

I love em. Wish I had a set.

[RainDog]

16. I love them too

I put a bunch of Lionel Hampton on my iTunes. I like the smooooooth stuff.

Vibes make me think I'm living in a b&w movie about some debauched woman... hey, sort of like my life, w/o the vibes or the b&w!

[Bicoastal]

17. What I played on Carnival Cruise--

Alto Sax, Clarinet, and Flute.

[old mark]

18. bass

I learned how to play when I was 13, played in bar bands off and on for over 20 years. Have 2 good (electric) basses right now, and play a bit to keep my fingers moving. My hands are too used up and old to play upright bass, though.
Also guitar, but I don't know a lot of the jazz chords.

[harmonicon]

19. I've been in jazz bands

I played bass. If I were to get back into jazz, I'd probably play ukulele though. I've mostly played uke for the last few years, but didn't know how back when I was playing jazz.

[DarkTirade]

20. I'm a string guy

Probably guitar or bass. There aren't many openings for a violinist in a jazz band. :)

[Richardo]

21. Well I WAS in a jazz band and I played 4th chair trumpet

So that.

[tigereye]

23. drums!

that's my little fantasy to be a jazz drummer - I'm already a drummer, but jazz drums would be really cool. (probably unlikely I will be able to develop the needed skills anytime soon without excessive practive, but it would be really cool!)

[Blue-Jay]

27. HA! Girls don't play the drums!

Then again.... I could be wrong...

:headbang:

[Pierre.Suave]

29. This girl can play my drums anytime...

Although, I am not quite sure what that means, but it sounds like a fun time...

:P

[tigereye]

31. mmm, you are due for a spanking, young man, next time I see you...

:spank:


:hi:


a lot more of em do than when I started.....

[Blue-Jay]

32. Shit, if I knew a spanking was that easy, I'd have tried before today!

YeeeeeeHAW!

[UndertheOcean]

25. The piano

[WritingIsMyReligion]

28. I am in a jazz band, and I play tenor saxophone.

Were I a real jazzer, however, and not a lame student, I would be a pianist, because they're the most bad-ass of all. ;)

[yellowdogintexas]

30. used to play piano, so if I were good enough for a jazz band, I would play the

piano. I love the pianist best anyway.

[reyd reid reed]

33. Probably piano

I've got two trombone players, a bass player and a trumpet player at home who are already involved with three different jazz bands. I'd be extraneous.

[atomic-fly]

34. Upright Bass!

or some sweet fretless electric bass.

[Gormy Cuss]

35. Tenor sax. n/t
