I want to cry out
but I don’t scream and I don’t shout
And I feel so proud

Great to finally see a jazz megathread, jazz is the poo poo.

Free Jazz needs some John Zorn links. Goddamn, his music is...interesting, to say the least

I've only ever heard Filmworks XIV, what more of his stuff would you recommend?

I like his Masada work best, here's the first part of a track; with the awesome Marc Ribot on guitar.

Probably old hat to most people here, but if you haven't heard of them you have to listen to Soil & Pimp Sessions, a super energetic Japanese club band.

e: And while I'm recommending things, here's Khan Jamal master of the vibes, an instrument I've always hated since seeing some lovely blowhard play terrible muzak bullshit years ago in some club. I no longer hate vibes.

Oh sweet, Marc Ribot's played with Tom Waits on a bunch of albums, too! I love how everyone seems to have played with everyone else in jazz. Definitely gonna check out the Soil and Pimp guys.

Also, vibes are excellent. Bags Jackson!

Hey Pas2, where's good place to start with Charlie Mingus? Really dug that tune you posted earlier.

The only thing I have at the moment is some Mingus Big Band live records, which are really great.

I'm no expert but I rather enjoy Mingus Ah Um and Mingus Mingus Mingus Mingus Mingus (for the name if nothing else).

Thanks for all the Zorn recs, by the way!

Hot Rats is probably my favourite Zappa album:

The beginning of that solo, dang.

Today I went into a charity shop on a whim and came out with these. Hot dang.


Does anyone have any jazz blogs, which are preferably updated not extremely frequently? I subscribe to holyfuckingshit40000 and I tend to find its updating agreeable.

e: x0nix, I've finally gotten round to listening to Angel Song and I effing love it, thanks.

I've just discovered Mythologies by Patricia Barber via the #jazz hashtag on diaspora (like an open source Facebook combined with Twitter, it's pretty cool). It's based on Ovid's Metamorphoses and it rules.

The other thing about Ken Burns that bothered me what that he saw Jazz as completely American. I think he touched on French Jazz, only in the context of the French playing American songs while they were occupied. Did he even mention Django Reinhardt?

French Jazz in the 50's and 60's is pure class. He also left out Bossa Nova, if I recall.

Oh and did Oscar Peterson even get a mention? :canada:

Come to think of it, Baseball barely mentions baseball in Japan either.

Some would argue that OP is merely a blues player, though I love him all the same. In fact, Tristeza on Piano may well have been the album that got me into jazz.

So I'm thinking of going to this (free!) festival in Lugano, Switzerland in July, but I can't find a lineup.

Anyone know when they tend to announce it?
