in the midst of a jazz deep dive. i'd skimmed the surface before (like, i knew miles davis/kind of blue, coltrane, played guitar so i was familiar with guys like joe pass and pat metheny) but i've gotten really enamored with the timbre of the saxophone and i've been digging into sax players pharoah sanders really grabbed my attention - i heard you've got to have freedom and it blew my mind, then i threw on karma and i realized this dude's a genius. also heard some guys like albert ayler and eric dolphy doing some wild poo poo. the baritone riff in moanin' is great. i've been kind of scattershot in my sax exploration, give me some guidance jazz friends.

Kind of the exact opposite of Trane and Pharoh Sanders, but Ben Webster, Coleman Hawkins, and Lester Young are so loving cool and chill. Love Lester Young’s little solo on this tune https://youtu.be/o2wfHTYRIbE

David S. Ware was awesome, you should listen to his stuff. Third Ear Recitation springs to mind for a starter.

Two other (nominally?) tenors: Wayne Shorter passed away last year after an extremely long and broad career. I don't think he played much that would quicken your pulse as much as Pharoah Sanders could, but it would take a long time to listen to all of his stuff. He played on a ton of recordings over 60+ years: more than 20 releases as a band leader, on the albums for other greats, in jazz fusion group Weather Report, and also just as a session musician in a range of mainstream stuff. He played the minute long saxophone feature on Steely Dan's "Aja". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fK9CiB1Tu24 Rahsaan Roland Kirk moved past just challenging conventions into being, frankly, unbelievable. The convention he was most famous for challenging was the idea of playing saxophones (or flutes, or recorders, or whatever) one at a time. I have no idea how you would describe him musically. Frank Zappa cited Kirk as an influence. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UKYDec_2B1o

I tend to enjoy wild big band performances like with Buddy Rich or similar. It gives me a feeling not unlike sometimes, seeing any other huge, complex works of art, and zooming in on different areas and discovering new aspects and treasures, and then zooming out again to see how it interacts with the larger artwork. One of my favourites is Channel One suite for a mix of insane solos and insane, chaotic parts with the full orchestra going full blast. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9429C1yps_c&t=2222s There's something so intensely satisfying about when, after an exhausting solo, the rest of the band joins in with a seemless, perfect transition. Like a cold hand entering a warm, perfectly fitting glove. An example is 44 minutes into the video, about seven minutes into the number. I just can't get enough of when the bass, drums and the rest joins the sax. I also hear that Buddy Rich was a great people leader and lovely human being. as I generally love noisy big bands, I find it odd that my other favourite is so very different. Radka Toneff singing "Moon's a Harsh Mistress", from the album Fairytales. One singer with an accompanying piano is absolutely heart braking in its naked simplicity. I tend to find this style of music, slow and emotional jazz, rather dull. But this song catches me every time, right from the cold opening. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8i5fXjJX18M

Jazz Marimba posted:anyone got recs for jazz by women instrumentalists that aren’t the four everyone names? (alice coltrane, dorothy ashby, mary lou williams, lil hardin armstrong) Resident swing dancer showing up to recommend the Shake Em Up Jazz Band for an all-woman group. https://shakeemup.bandcamp.com/album/the-boy-in-the-boat I got to hear them live at a dance event and promptly bought all their albums. They do a good mix of classic covers and original compositions. Little different than what normally gets recommended in the thread, but still worth a listen for non-dancing weirdos. Jazz Marimba posted:idk if this is a joke or just misinformed, but this is the exact opposite of how buddy rich was Yeah, Buddy Rich, Benny Goodman, and Artie Shaw were all pretty notorious hardasses in the big band / swing music space. Bennie gets some props for having a racially integrated band and sticking up for his black band members at a time when segregation was the norm, but he was still a colossal rear end in a top hat most of the rest of the time. For the guy talking about more big band stuff, my immediate recommendation is always Count Basie. There's just so much amazing stuff in the big band and swing scenes that can be traced back to him.

Linda Oh is a great bassist, Anat Cohen smashes it at clarinet, Hiromi Uehara is an actual piano prodigy, hmmm I think that's all I've got off the top of my dome for instrumentalists right now Edit: lol I googled Linda cause I haven't thought of her in a MINUTE and serendipitously she just released a fuckin tiny desk concert: https://www.npr.org/2024/04/08/1243012572/tiny-desk-concert-linda-may-han-oh Johnny Truant fucked around with this message at 03:55 on Apr 11, 2024 |

I'm not too knowledgeable about her entire disco/career and she steps into lots of genres, but Meshell Ndegeocello certainly a bass legend

I started listening to jazz approximately one year ago. Top of my head the records that have stuck with me the most are probably... Sleeping Beauty, The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady, Power of Soul, Karma, Ptah the El Daoud, Black Christ of the Andes, Straight Life, Unit Structures, The Magic of Ju-ju. Good stuff.

The Peter Brotzmann Octet Machine Gun https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0wgA9L5TN5M I've listened to Jazz randomly all throughout my life, and to cut it short, I've never listened to something like this. I've listened to this album about three times now in the last week, and I'm looking to find more chaotic Stuff like this. It puts me at ease, strangely enough. I'm looking for more of this to put me at ease. Thank you in advance
