This is great Erland! I am huge Jazz collector and have with the same
challenges that ymilner and emalvick have been describing.
I listen to Jazz 3 ways although predominantly complete albums:
1) play a specific album of my choosing either browsing by artist (more
on that below) or searching by

Could you explain why you want the instrument.
I suspect most musicians (including jazz musicians) only play a single
instrument ?
So do you really want to know that Mel Lewis is the drummer or would it
be enough to know that Mel Lewis is participating ?
I was
New participant, and I am a relatively big Jazz listener.
When I listen to Jazz I tend to listen to music in 3 possible ways.
1. Band leader (e.g. Miles Davis, Duke Ellington, etc.)
2. Style (e.g. Bop, Hard-Bop, Fusion, Big Band, Vocal, etc.)
3. Performer (e.g. Herbie Hancock, John Coltrane)

I think knowing sidemen is valuable, since I am often interested in
knowing all the performers in a jazz track (e.g., play all of the
tracks where Mel Lewis is the drummer), it would be nice to have a good
place to put all of them along with the instrument they are playing.
Note that these may be

Did you ever come across discogs? I looked around, and there is quite a
lot of valuable data. They have genres, styles, releases and many more.
Their approach to side musicians is a bit differet: they have
contributers instead, which are musicians, but also sound

How is jazz different from pop/rock in this regard ? Do you usually
search for a musician and less often for a group/band when searching
for jazz music ? Is it common that a musician has performed in multiple
bands/groups ?
For example, if you are listening to a
I probably qualify as a jazz lover. I have a very big (~2TB) collection
of jazz.
For me, the biggest challenge was (and partially is) to classify my
collection, so I could later quickly find what I need. For that I
currently use multiple genres. My genres today tend to include style

Let's try a bit different approach since it seems to be hard to find
people that know both jazz and and have experience reading UML/data
models.
Maybe anyone that knows jazz can just give me some idea how you would
like to discover/browse jazz music in your library. My feeling is that

Hey erland :)
I'm no jazz aficionado, but I'd bet one important aspect for
searching/sorting/discovery for jazz enthusiasts is Vocal and non-Vocal
music categories.
Personally, I *much* prefer non-Vocal myself.

I agree with toby. I'm mostly a classic (pre 1960)
The trouble is that I don't know what Jazz means.
For me that would be Nucleus, Brand X, Billy Cobham, Neil Ardley,
Turning Point, Isotope, Soft Machine etc etc
But Jamie Cullum?? HA HA

Aw, man. I really (-really-) can't take on any more free-time

Hi Erland,
Sounds interesting. I listen to jazz and classical quite a bit. I am
also a developer mainly Java/c#/c++/html/javascript but can find my way

Not sure I can give 100% due to kids and another imminent baby but I am

Is there any jazz (or classical) music lovers here that also have some
kind of developer background ?
I'm asking because I'd like to get in contact with people who:
- Love their Squeezebox
- Have good knowledge about jazz (or classical) music
- Know how to read UML domain models, database
OK - I qualify for #1, and maybe 10% of #2, and none of the other
qualifications, but please keep this intriguing thread going...
