Tjazz Posted November 27, 2009 Report Posted November 27, 2009 Take the jazz quiz Sporcle jazz quiz Quote
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted November 27, 2009 Report Posted November 27, 2009 Nice quiz, but perhaps a bit too easy for most. I got 32/38; didn't get Mahavishnu orch (put McLaughlin), Clarke, Metheny, Brecker, Jarrett and Peterson. MG Quote
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted November 27, 2009 Report Posted November 27, 2009 Got 30/38. Like MG, I didn't know Mahavishnu, Metheny and Brecker. The others remain unsolved! Oh, when I had done what I could, there was about a minute to go, so I hit the "give up?" button and all the missing names came up. MG Quote
BillF Posted November 27, 2009 Report Posted November 27, 2009 Got 30/38. Like MG, I didn't know Mahavishnu, Metheny and Brecker. The others remain unsolved! Oh, when I had done what I could, there was about a minute to go, so I hit the "give up?" button and all the missing names came up. MG Now I see I didn't know Pass, Return to Forever, Weather Report, Clarke or Corea either. Ah well, the 70s was never my era! Quote
Royal Oak Posted November 27, 2009 Report Posted November 27, 2009 30/38 for me too. Mostly the right-hand side ones I didn't get. I haven't reached the 70s in my jazz odyssey yet Bill! Quote
Dave James Posted November 27, 2009 Report Posted November 27, 2009 (edited) 35/38. I missed Return to Forever, Michael Brecker and The Mahivishnu Orchestra. I knew the albums but I kept trying to enter John McLaughlin. Edited November 27, 2009 by Dave James Quote
jeffcrom Posted November 27, 2009 Report Posted November 27, 2009 37/38 - For some reason I put Lee Morgan instead of Blakey and didn't catch it in time. Quote
BillF Posted November 27, 2009 Report Posted November 27, 2009 30/38 for me too. Mostly the right-hand side ones I didn't get. I haven't reached the 70s in my jazz odyssey yet Bill! Good for you, Richard! Keep it that way! Quote
A Lark Ascending Posted November 27, 2009 Report Posted November 27, 2009 36/38 - wasted time trying different spellings of John McLaughlin. Didn't know Michael Brecker. Quote
Niko Posted November 27, 2009 Report Posted November 27, 2009 36/38 (missed clarke and return to forever) Quote
Noj Posted November 27, 2009 Report Posted November 27, 2009 38/38. Even though I haven't heard the Metheny albums, I still recognized Bright Size Life since it's been on my want list for a while. Every one else I have at least one of the albums listed. Quote
Free For All Posted November 27, 2009 Report Posted November 27, 2009 38/38 More of a challenge to my crappy typing skills than the knowledge of the artists. Quote
papsrus Posted November 27, 2009 Report Posted November 27, 2009 29/38 Missed Getz, Jimmy Smith, MJQ, Mahavishnu, Return to Forever (brain lock on that one. I knew it), Stanley Clarke, Metheny (brain lock there, too), Cobham and Brecker. I believe Getz is the only one of these lot I have a recording by. Quote
GA Russell Posted November 28, 2009 Report Posted November 28, 2009 (edited) 33/38 Like everyone else, put McLaughlin instead of Mahavishnu. Also missed Return to Forever, Stanley Clarke, Billy Cobham and Michael Brecker. Edited November 28, 2009 by GA Russell Quote
JSngry Posted November 28, 2009 Report Posted November 28, 2009 37/38, Didn't get the Oscar Peterson. Oh well! Quote
paul secor Posted November 28, 2009 Report Posted November 28, 2009 33 of 38. Didn't know the fusion stuff - should have expected that. Quote
Tim McG Posted November 28, 2009 Report Posted November 28, 2009 (edited) Take the jazz quiz Sporcle jazz quiz I can name the artists, but the site won't post what I type. The few I didn't know the site wouldn't allow me to move on to the next item. Slow, slower, slowest. Edited November 28, 2009 by GoodSpeak Quote

JohnS Posted November 28, 2009 Report Posted November 28, 2009 (edited) 32/38. Basically timed out because of fumbled typing. Another minute and I would have had four more. I probably wouldn't have recalled Ron Carter though I did have Third Plane for a while, and chose the wrong Brecker. Fun though. Edited November 28, 2009 by JohnS Quote
brownie Posted November 28, 2009 Report Posted November 28, 2009 36/38 missed Mahavishnu and Stanley Clarke! Quote
mjazzg Posted November 28, 2009 Report Posted November 28, 2009 35/38 - missed Brecker and Joe Pass and Wes. Must improve my guitar knowledge and my typing speed Quote
