I would like to find some good instrumental jazz, horns, guitar or piano based.

I also want to find a compilation jazz CD - I don’t know the title or the name of the CD. All I know is there is a picture of a pickle on the CD cover art.

Any suggestions

Jazz has many subsets. I suggest going to a large music store (like Virgin) and browse and listen to samples. Some people don’t like the newer jazz, maybe called smooth jazz, but I do. I like Peter White and Marc Antoine. Both on guitar.

Many music stores have catergorized their music, so you might find the pickle CD there. Or ask your friendly sales person! Good luck!

The only pickle-covered album I could find is from [Skankin’ Pickle](http://ubl.artistdirect.com/music/artist/card/0,,493862,00.html?src=redirsearch&artist=Skankin%27+Pickle), but I doubt you’re thinking of ska-punk as jazz…

I bought John Coltrane and Miles Davis reccomended from this and other threads.  
Thanks.  
Man, they could play that in 1955 and rode at the back of a bus?
