I love Latin Jazz , Avant Garde, Jazz Fusion and World Jazz. If Funk Jazz is what Herbie Hancock play i like it to.

I voted for Latin Jazz , because Latin Fusion is my favourite Jazz sub genre, but i like almost all subgenres.

Fusion for meWink
let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

Indeed. He isn't even really a world jazz artist, not to me anyways. Oregon epitomize the world jazz fusion sound.

I can listen to all different kinds of jazz from Louis Armstrong and his Hot Fives from the 1920's to Dave Douglas today.  I suppose the free jazz/avant garde period is my favorite if I had to pick.  With the likes of Ornette Coleman, Albert Ayler, Cecil Taylor, Coltrane, Archie Shepp & Eric Dolphy who can go wrong?

Jazz fusion is an ambiguous term covering a lot of important sub-genres: jazz rock fusion, jazz funk fusion, Indio-jazz fusion (the oldest established term for a sub-genre of jazz fusion), Arabic jazz fusion, flamenco jazz fusion, world jazz fusion (for that not covered by prefaces such as Indio or Arabic or Flamenco), smooth jazz, fuzac, nu.jazz, nu.fusion, jazz drum'n'bass, acid jazz, jazz jam, jazz hiphop, folk jazz fusion (check out Danny Thompson's solos and Pentangle - even Jan Garbarek/Agnes Buens Garnas on their Rosensfole), brass rock, (one coined by drummer Steve Smith) monk jazz (e.g. for Garbarek/Hilliard Ensemble's free jazz and plainsong), etc.
 
BTW Benny Goodman swang with the presence of Lionel Hampton and/or Gene Krupa in his quartets in the late 30's - check out the marvellous Carnegie Hall Concert of 1938, issued as a double CD set by Columbia Song

Incomplete poll and should it be in the poll thread section?????????????????????????. What happened to the best selling jazz genres nowadays in Europe:
nu.fusion, e.g. Nils Petter Molvaer, Bugge Wesseltoft
nu.jazz, e.g. EST, Brad Mehldau 
(and least we forget the retro jazz of Wynton Marsalis)
 
Glad somebody mention world jazz, which stands some sub-division e.g. Indo jazz fusion: Joe Harriott/John Meyer, Shakti, Shakti Revisited, Levi Shankar, Hellborg's outings especially on Icon, Trilok Gurtu, Oregon, Collin Walcott, Zakir Hussain, work of the Fatir Ali Khans with jazz musicians such as Jan Garbarek (e.g. Ragas & Sagas) etc.; then the Arabic-jazz fusion.................
 
What does Latin jazz cover: Nana Vasconcelos to Kip Hanrahan, taking in Sergio Mendes, Airto and Flora, Chick Corea??

My favorite jazz subgenre (or era) is the Bigband and swing era. I don't care if most of the stuff is commercial. There's no dance music that I prefer to that kind of music. I even took some swing dancing lessons Embarrassed

RIP in bossa nova heaven.

Oh, the swing era falls under "big Band Jazz" as it is mostly commercial and danceable except for some brilliant composers who did great music.
 
And yes, I forgot completely about vocalized jazz :(
