Grateful Dead listeners, do you also listen to jazz?
If so, what jazz guys do you listen to, and did the Dead lead you to jazz or did jazz lead you to the Dead?
PS-Have you ever heard the show from Feb. or 1993 that has Ornnette Coleman sitting in for some of the second set?
Shader, thanks for answering. I'm not sad about your answer. I'm just curious, because the Dead and jazz bands have the same approach to music, improv.

I like both Grateful Dead and Jazz, but one type of music didn't influence me to listen to the other, that just is.
Actually if you really want to get down to it I'd say The Dead got me more interested in Bluegrass (Old And In The Way)

The Grateful Dead album, Without a Net, has some great jazz compilations with Wynton Marsalis.
I love the Dead but I'm not too huge into jazz per se. I liked the Dead from the beginning and got more into jazz after taking an intro to jazz class in college....one didn't necessarily lead to another.

Check out Jazz is Dead, an album (or two) of jazz covers of Dead tunes.
I think I liked Jazz before I liked the Dead, but can see where you're coming from. XM72, Beyond Jazz, has a show called "Jazzy Jam Bands," that expands on this.
Also, one of my favorite live Dead albums is Without A Net. Listen to Branford Marsalis play sax on Eyes of the World. Excellent!
