Where's Vocal Jazz?

BTW: I won't vote - I love many of these styles equally. My favorites in terms of playtime are intelligent Vocal Jazz and Jazz Fusion.

	World Jazz, Acid Jazz, Jazz-rock, avant jazz, it's all excellent to me.

	Don't forget "hot jazz" or "symphonic jazz", born in the '20s ( George Gerhwin - Rhapsody In Blue, Concerto Per Pianoforte E Orchestra) and the "swing" era (1935 - 1945)( Duke Ellington, Chick Webb, Cab Calloway, Earl Hines, Count Basie, Jimmie Lunceford, Louis Armstrong, Jimmy and Tommy Dorsey, Andy Kirk, Glenn Miller, Woody Herman, Benny Goodman, Artie Shaw, Art Tatum. Anyway, i voted for Jazz-rock/Fusion.

	Hey, I'm interested to know what style of jazz prog fans prefer. As I'm a prog fan myself and I'm interested in Jazz lately, I would like to read the results. First, you have early jazz with guys such as Louis Armstrong. Im fond of this style at all, but maybe you like it. Then, you get the commercialized Danceable Big Band era. Some of the music is very mainstream, but on the other hand you have a great composer like Duke Ellington. What about Bebop/Hard Bop? 100% improvisation and soloing. Cool Jazz with Miles Davis and other geniuses to relax to, close your eyes and nod your head saying "yeah". The fun Funk Jazz with hammond organ soloing all over the place? The Jazz climax of Bebop with electric instruments and rock influences? The beautifully sung and romantic magic of Brazilian Jazz with Bossa Nova elements? South American Latin styles fused with Jazz Fusion? The extremely diverse World Jazz that fuses music of many countries with Jazz? The groovy jazz of acid Jazz, Rap Jazz, and JAzz using DJs? The Jazz without limits and boundaries? Are you a fan of "A Love Supreme", Sun Ra, etc? Last, but not least, the fun piano-based Boogie Woogie or the more complex piano stride where the pianist plays a bass line, rhythmic chords, and solos all at the same time. Which is your favourite? MY pick goes to Jazz Fusion, althrough Brazilian Jazz and Latin-Jazz Fusion (Al Dimeola) come very very close.
