There's as much jazz out there that I really love as there is that I really hate. An old, overly style-conscious buddy of mine in Boston got me hooked onto Theloneous Monk. On my own, I found the Hard Bop channel on JAZZRADIO.com, which is on iTunes. That seems to be the subgenre of old jazz that I like by far the best, but I'm still learning about it.
