Hope I'm not the only person here who does. Some of my favorites are:

Albert Ayler, Rabih Abou-Khalil, Bill Evens, Moondog, Christian Scott, Charles Mingus, Miles Davis, Louis Moholo, William Parker, Pharoah Sanders, and Sonny Sharrock

    I tried getting into jazz, the farthest I could get was when I played drums... I used to listen to players like Buddy Rich.

    If there were some awesome jazz guitar "riffs" I'd blow a load in my pants

    I loves me some Bessie Smith, though she was more blues.

    Haha you can't expect Jazz to be Rock bro. That said I've always thought Sonny Sharrock was an excellent guitar player.

    Jazz, along with most classical, is one of those genres of music that is much more fun to play than to listen to.

    I like classical as well :(

    I just want to find music that will allow me to expand my guitar skills. If it means learning a new chord, new scale, new time rhythm, I'm all up for it :D
    EDIT: I will view the link in 20 mins

    I love listening to Jazz I just don't know enough names. I'm the same with all music really, I simply don't know where to start.

    I like free jazz and fusion the best, although it is all good. I tend to just listen to an internet radio station for backround music but I specifically like Ornette Coleman and Charles Mingus.

    I used to exclusively play saxophone for quite a few years, during this time I solely listened to jazz. After awhile I got burned out, now I only listen to jazz on occasion. If I had to choose one jazz musician to listen to though, it'd be Charlie Parker.

    For some reason I hate jazz music. Not only that, but it irritates me if I hear it. Weird.
