Jazz deserves its own thread - what jazz do you like? Everyone knows Miles Davis and John Coltrane, but have you heard ? How bout ? How 'bout ? (sorry for flogging emusic again but they do have samples...) What incredible jazz have you heard? Astonish me - post em if ya got em. |
||||||||

shrug, only some of the main albums... not that big into Jazz myself... |

he's pretty well known by all, but charles mingus has a great lp of piano only semi-improvised tunes. great night-music. |
||||||||
|

There's a really obscure Miles Davis album that you shoud all check out. Its called Kind of Blue. |

soweto knich Birmingham based 25 year old Soweto Kinch was born in London and studied History at Oxford University. Kinch, who was given his first saxophone aged nine, has worked with bands including Jazz Jamaica All Stars and Nu Troop. 'Conversations with the Unseen' is his debut album and was released on Dune Records in April 2003 an amazing album |

I actually prefer Cannonball's solos to Coltrane's on that one... Milky, what's that Mingus album called? |
||||||||

Art Blakey is great, i've got this album called New York 1957 which is real good, it starts with a mean drum lick and just kicks in after that, he plays a mean drum. I also like Herbie Hardcock, his jazz funk stuff is sweet, the track wiggle waggle has been on my stereo a bit recently. I like Miles Davis - in a silent way, bit like an ambient jazz album, also monk and pretty much anything on blue note |

Grant Green makes some pretty awesome funk, Jaco Pastorious makes my head wanna pop, there's just so much going on,.. soooooo pretty Ronny Jordan (now playing) does some funky chill out jazz, kinda like saint germain I got a wes montgomery cd i have yet to listen to,.. but from what I've heard it's good |
||||||||
|

sorry i don't like jazz its too popular |
||||||||
|
|

Weather Report, first and foremost... the greatest jazz band ever, imo. i equally love all their albums, each of them is so different and diverse... though now i'm more into their early stuff, which is probably more like free jazz. i really love jazz bassists, so a few of other jazz albums i love are Miroslav Vitous' 'The Journey's End' and Wayne Shorter's 'Alegria' (with John Patitucci on bass)... not to mention Jaco Pastorius albums. Metheny and Pastorius' 'Bright Size Life' is some of the most amazing stuff i've ever heard! |
||||||||
|

|
|
i looove mingus. the man who got me into jazz. apart from that i like some coltrane and art blakey (paris sessions cd(?) or something is amazing) but i don't dig everything jazz. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I really want to check out Jaco Pastorouses solo stuff, and also some Charles Mingus... I have a soft spot for the bass, be it electric or standup... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Squarepusher's Music Is Rotted One Note is the jazziest my collection gets... I had Kind of Blue for a bit.. wasn't really my thing. Maybe when I'm 40. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh, you don't have to be fourty to enjoy real jazz... it is stuff for the hungry rather than for the middle-aged :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I don't really like Kind of Blue much... meh, pretty boring... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Exactly. I'm a big fan of Kind of Blue, actually... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I really like Time Out by Dave Brubeck though... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Well you're not supposed to focus on it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Arturo Sandoval (and of course Irakere) Esbjørn Svensson Trio Ahmad Jamal (and his trio) Davis Minugs Coltrane St. Germain ...can't remember any more. My memory isn't that good. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i actually found tourist by st germain a bit disappointing in places. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes, it can get quite boring. It makes nice background music, though.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
true. it could have been much more than background music though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
took me ages to get ito jazz, I used to find it pretentious and overly complex, but i got into it through blue note jazz funk stuff, and now i dig it, cats. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Herbie Hancock deserves a mention here. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
true.. and true |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
he sure does. everyone should check out future 2 future. all the drum'nbass heads will like it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
im well into John McLaughlin & Wes Montgomery... Charlie Mingus and Elvin Jones and Richard Davis & Monk... etc etc |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
CHARLIE PARKER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
||||||||
|
|

Mingus Ah Um is the happiest jazz I've ever heard. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

Ok, I've got three letters for you: EST. Were at the London Jazz festival 2003, and they are so wicked, I heard the webcast in a record shop the other day, from the bbc radio 3 website (I don't have broadband, but they do:) Yeah so basically listen to some EST. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Wow, some nice recommendations in this thread - I have to check out Soweto Kinch and some more Mingus. Always glad to see John McLaughlin mentioned - damn, I'm gonna dig out my Mahavishnu disks today! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
And EST sounds interesting too... Anyone ever heard of a Finnish jazz band called Trio Toykeat? I saw them at the Montreal jazz fest a few years ago and they blew my mind. I just remembered that now - mind blown, find Toykeat disks. Woulda done it sooner but my mind was too blown. |
||||||||

The standards of course... Stan Getz, Charlie Parker, John Coltrane on saxamaphones... Thelonious Monk!!! Epistrophy is a fantastic piece, Blue Monk, Mysterioso, etc, etc... he's like the IDM artist of jazz along with Mingus Dave Brubeck for different time signatures, Take Five and Blue Rondo Ala Turk are both fantastic tracks Chick webb is an AMAZING drummer, along with a few others Art Tatum with his huge ass chords with stride piano. Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea, Horace Silver on piano and keys, especially Corea's electronica stuff is amazing Miles Davis of course Wynton Marsalis is quite good Yoko Kano, did the soundtrack for Cowboy Bebop, check out Piano Black and Tank! (the original, not the Luke Vibert remix) Singers... Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Mel Torme, etc, etc Latin... Antonio Carlos Jobim is one of my favorite pianists... Need more suggestions? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Downloading the ones you recommend... check out Thelonious Monk! He's diagnosed Schizophrenic, it comes out in his music a lot |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah I snagged a bunch of Monk back when Emusic was all you can eat... great stuff. Yoko Kano sounds interesting, will have to check it out. |
||||||||
|
|

carl craig should be mentioned too. his innerzone orchestra is the obvious album to hunt down, but everything he does has some sort of jazz-influence in it. and the classic 'bug in the bassbin' is a must. at 33rpm its jazz and at 45rpm its jungle. |
||||||||

'feeding ground' makes me high :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Just wait until the fully mastered version coming out in a few months with the rest of my free mp3 CD =) Allison Krauss has a fantastic voice, I'd recommend downloding something from her, she did This Time the Dream's On Me on the Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil soundtrack (which is good altogether for light jazz), but has an incredibly voice |

JAZZ is like IDM in so many ways |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
IDM is more like jazz than vice versa |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
point taken, jazz was here first :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Fuck me, that list is going to keep me busy for years. Yusef Lateef is great - I love his touches of exotica, and the oddball instrumentation and arrangements. Very cinematic stuff it is. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think most off the jazz is boring .but then im really not from the same part of the planet |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I've rrefrrained frrom posting in herre because I don't want to get into the 'I know morre jazz musicians than you' rrace, but I love jazz. I also do believe that it can be seen as an impenetrrable genrre to someone unfamiliarr with it, mainly because it is so diverrse. |
