what do you mean rhythm/cadance?

in terms of modern pianists I think that Jamie Saft uses full chords in the strongest ways, but Mathew Shipp uses some very interesting rhythms. Myra Melford also has some good cadences

Pianists that rely heavily on precise tempos and kind of "percusion"-wise solos as a main characteristic of their playing. Something like this guy has pointed out >>68902431

>>68902623
almost every pianist uses percussive techniques in their solos

Classical composers did jazz better than jazz musicians. Discuss.

Good luck getting the kind of people who would actually care to accept Gershwin as a classical composer.

went to my first live jazz night tonight it was great but it did leave me questioning about whether there is anywhere jazz is still the scene like i want to dance and really go for it

People never really danced to anything from bebop onwards so you'll be hard pressed to find anywhere that caters to dancing to more "modern" jazz. Most of that is played in clubs and the bigger acts tend to do sitting gigs as it's supposed to be a "listener's music" and also most of the fans are sextegenarians and older.
I'm sure you could probably find somewhere in New Orleans or something with a dixieland group playing in a more dancey setting but most of the people playing that sort of music are v. serious traditionalists so again, you'd probably need to do some looking around. I also don't imagine there are too many big bands carrying on Glenn Miller and co.'s dance hall tradition of the swing era. Which is kind of a shame really. I'd love to go to something like that.

>tldr: unless you feel like going to a lot of effort, just take a bunch of drugs and enjoy sitting and listening

There are some still, I used to sub in a big band that played swing music at a dance studio once a month.

If you want to dance to swing music your best bet is to look for dance studios around you. There might not be any that host live bands but you never know. As the other guy said you're probably not going to find many places that advertise "live jazz" that are going to have music that's meant for dancing.

Plz describe, I don't think there's anything remotely like this where I live.

It was a dance studio that taught dance lessons. Once a week they would have a dance party and they would bring in a live band to play the music. Each week of the month was a different kind of music. The first Saturday of the month was Swing night and they had a big band come in. They'd do a one hour dance lesson and then the band would play for a few hours and people would dance. That band wasn't that great, and it was mostly old guys playing for fun, but good practice reading big band charts.

Third Saturday of every month was salsa night and I played in a salsa band that played there once a month while people salsa danced.

I don't know what the other themed nights they had were or if they had live music for those or not.
