Sanguine, I am really looking forward to that release! Work it baby! |
||||||||

I also do believe that it can be seen as an impenetrrable genrre to someone unfamiliarr with it, mainly because it is so diverrse. Hah! Kinda like electronica can be intimidatingly impenetrable. I mean just when you think you know your stuff someone namedrops an entire fucking label that specializes in, say, minimalist ambient Bulgarian folktronica... |

i love his Jazz Moods album with Curtis Fuller... the counterpoint of Yusef Lateef playing the flute with Curtis Fuller playing the trombone underneath... beautiful... the track Metaphor is one of my favourite tracks of all time... the funny part is that the majority of these names are from the Bop and Post Bop era... i started with the Avant-garde shit, and then moved backwards... and now i realize that i didn't get it proper-like (and i'm slowly moving back-in from the proper angle)... and i really haven't gotten into the sweet swing yet either... like i said: tip of the iceberg ...oh yeah... and i forgot Bud Powell (pianist)... |

> JAZZ is like IDM in so many ways you mean it started out being very original and inventive but gradually settled into elevator music ? |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
The bonus of IDM howeverr is that only interrnet geeks like it so you can always logon and ask, but only 40 yearr old men who don't know how to use computerrs like Jazz. |

jazz is impenetrable because it demands attention that people who aren't accustomed to it are unable to give... there is a structure that plays a large role in ones appreciation of the music that most people don't understand because they simply aren't around it enough... i won't deny that there is a part of me that takes pride in knowing lots of shit... but i also know that there is a part of me that just wants to help people know more about music... i think the world would be a better place if people listened to more than just fuckin dave brubeck or smooth jazz.... or simple early jazz... or simple pop swing... if someone else were to produce a list as large as the one i just did i would read it and try to take something from it... i don't want to come across as someone who thinks too highly of himself... i just want people to consider all this beautiful music that people devoted their lives to... |

well. as far as miles davis goes it's all about 'on the corner' and 'bitches brew'. but we all know those. *shrugs* always been a thelonius monk man, m'self. i'm not as into jazz as i would like to be. someday i'll take the time to better familiarize myself with it all. there's just so much...and it's all so good. =] |
||||||||

|
no, it's the other way round. IDM is like jazz in so many ways. AND what IDM hav you ever heard in an elevator? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I've neverr hearrd music in an elevatorr [fullstop] |
||||||||

i wouldn't like to repeat myself, so please see my previous post in this thread |

I hate the name "JAZZ" almost as much as I hate "IDM",.. at least idm has a good ring to it,.. *puts on croaky voice "jaazzz,.. Jaaazzzzz azzzzzzzzzzzzzz,...... JAAAZZZZZ.,.... jaz." |

welcome to jazz club....nice! |

Yeah... |

What do you jazz purists think of some turntabilists adopting the term "the new jazz" to describe their music? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
jazz is just about the only genre of music that can irritate me to death. haven't heard enough to really say that, though... |
||||||||

miles davis, dave holland, pharoah sanders, matthew shipp, sun ra, roy hargrove, roy ayers madlib |

btw, fleetmouse: i remember you mentioned Joni Mitchell's Hejira as one of your favorite albums. what else would you recommend? the only Joni's album i've heard so far is Mingus, and i quite like it. |
||||||||

got Mahavishnu Orchestra's 'Inner Mounting Flame' a couple of days ago... this album is AMAZING. frankly, i just cannot believe it was recorded more than 30 years ago. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Nothing is as good as Hejira. It weaves a spell. But also see Don Juan's Reckless Daughter, Ladies of the Canyon (folkier but still nice), Hissing of Summer Lawns mostly for the track The Jungle Line, and mmmmmmmah Blue I guess, which everyone likes but never really bowled me over. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

Too bad the second album with the same lineup is a little too tight and disciplined. Inner Mounting Flame is so reckless and wild! You know who has some of that Inner Mounting Flame energy is Nels Cline. He plays like an excellent tight player who is trying out something new every time he plays, like it's all first take, first thought and not rehearsed to death. The Nels Cline Singers album Instrumentals kicks ass. He does shit with people all over the place. |

thanks, i'll check those out! :) |

i like Tom J's jazz stuff, like the tracks from Feed Me Wierd Things, and Go! Plastic |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Awesome. Anyway, my favourite jazz album is now Out to Lunch by Eric Dolphy. Someone should start a klezmer thread. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ever heard Don Byron's album of Mickey Katz's music? It's jazz klezmer that slams harder than most metal bands. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
That sounds interesting, I'm going to Hunt That Down or something, thanks. |
||||||||
|
|

God bless! Thelonious Monk is quite enjoyable thus far, i am listening to "well you needn't" right now. Your way of describing him was quite interesting so i grabbed a bunch of his stuff! Awesome!! I believe this is the most useful thread i have stumbled across in a while! I welcome all suggestions! Thanks everyone for your opinions and for broadening my horizons! |

Donald Byrd died on the 4th, last monday... |

Miles davis is by far my favourite, i'm listening to bitches brew right now and i figured i checked out xltronic. john coltrane is very nice, and don't forget Sun Ra and Albert Ayler. Ive been getting a littel bit into the rap game, and i find it to be very similar to jazz |

miles makes me smiles : ) |

. nothing special when it starts but it builds up to some of the most fantastic jazz of today. |
