mariooncrack posted:Does anyone have any jazz radio stations they like? There's no jazz radio stations in my area and I like to listen to the radio while I'm working. big big fan of Portland OR's KMHD. It's a college station run out of a suburban community college. They're local for me, which I'm sure biases me Mostly average / above average jazz and jazz adjacent stuff. I hear more soul jazz and jazz funk than bop typically, but they have that too. Some shows do historical stuff and branch out from jazz into wider Black American 20th century music and occasionally some real oddball stuff. They do have classic and historical shows too, just it seems like the academic / preservationist side is less the focus recently. There's some more interesting shows at odder hours - I seem to always catch their Brazillian jazz show when I'm not expecting it, and Saturday nights late there's a great hard funk show. Their new jazz for lunch show is good and well selected, and even their boring morning / afternoon playlist djs put on fun stuff

emdash posted:which i gather is part of a burgeoning UK jazz scene but I have failed to explore that very much Yussef Kamaal rules this stuff is so interesting to me because I hear so much of 4hero / Bugs In the Attic / the whole broken beat thing in it. Especially the pads and the hyper-compressed drums. Or maybe more generally the hyper-recontextualization of "out of scene" elements, like that album feels referential to me in the way a Metalheadz LP would be. Its cool to hear that ethos applied to more straight ahead jazz (vs like) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6LGECuxLLR4

I am absolutely a jazz novice--I love jazz but don't know much about it. I dig Miles Davis, John Coltrane, and Thelonious Monk, and would appreciate any recs based on that. I'm sure that's the equivalent of going into a rock thread and saying "I love The Rolling Stones, the Who, and Led Zeppelin, give me some recs" but I don't have any better frame of reference. For whatever it's worth, I have tried listening to Herbie Hancock's Headhunters and despite the critical acclaim I absolutely do not get it, if that helps to refine my tastes any. New or old artists, do not care!

Byrd was Herbie's mentor, so if you like Herbie you will probably like him. I really his A New Perspective album. As for some other artist recommendations, here are some of mine: Grant Green (Sex Ghost linked a few of these on the first page) Stanley Turrentine Freddie Hubbard Robert Glasper Takuya Kuroda

Judgy Fucker posted:I am absolutely a jazz novice--I love jazz but don't know much about it. I dig Miles Davis, John Coltrane, and Thelonious Monk, and would appreciate any recs based on that. Jazz is big about musicians intermingling and influencing one another, so it helps to look at the personnel lists of every album you like and seeing what else they've done. What John Coltrane do you like in particular? I'm going to assume his earlier hard-bop stuff, before he got into free jazz. So, for example, if you're a fan of the album Blue Train, you'll see that Lee Morgan is the trumpet player on that album. You can go listen to his own stuff where he recorded as a leader, like "The Sidewinder". Then from there you end up exploring Joe Henderson, Barry Harris, and it starts to spiral from there. You get the idea. Another few things that have helped me explore the huge world of jazz have been Spotify playlists based on some books by Ted Gioia (critic/jazz historian/musician). In particular these two have been awesome: History of Jazz: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7j7LIIbbD2pnKOMmzKSxUD?si=e1d45164797f432b The Jazz Standards: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1xvz50JtGUQdYuJLBMKA13?si=f1a8798379734565 The first one should be pretty self explanatory. Just throw it on the background and work your way through it. For the latter, if you find a standard you really like (e.g., Thelonious Monk's 'Round Midnight), you can use that playlist as a jumping off point to find other awesome interpretations and artists you might not normally come across. Stringent posted:also nobody's brought up sonny side up so This whole album is incredible. I've spent a bit of time on my tenor sax trying to learn the head and some of Rollins' solo off Eternal Triangle. Incredibly brilliant playing all over that album

I've been listening to Robert Glasper recently. He does a lot of fusion stuff on top of straight jazz. He's great and still making new music so that's a benefit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-0JZlrk4xA

I’m taking over this thread because I’m tired of having to keep the jazz general alive on a certain other website. The op is right, jazz is america’s greatest gift to the world! I’ll post the song that’s been in my head since I woke up this morning, Thelonious Monk’s Bye-ya off his first album. No horns, just monk in trio mode. This is from all the way back in 1953, and rather unfortunately you can’t find the original release on any kind of streaming service. Everything that’s up is just the second issue which added a 7 minute jam on the album which doesn’t really help it imo. The album is full of tightly composed but loosely played songs which give me an almost beatlesy vibe, and the jam just doesn’t match. Regardless though, here’s the song. https://yewtu.be/watch?v=WZT7vCkupUU

I somehow forgot Makaya McCraven released an album last year and it immediately shot up to the top of 2022, not gonna lie. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MmZqtrsN6Rk I remember walking into a music festival not knowing where to go, consulting the festival pamphlet and seeing the words "Jazz Drummer," and that's all I really needed.

I’ve never heard of that guy, does he have any albums you’d recommend me? I love it when jazz drummers are just kind of a relentless assault. Speaking of, I really love Milford Graves. He’s got this solo album that’s all drums which is where I fell in love with him, but the album he did with John Zorn on Zorn’s 50th birthday is just absolutely amazing. It’s not even on YouTube so I’m just gonna have to settle with posting a performance they did together a couple years later, but even that’s great. An immediate comparison is interstellar space by Coltrane but I honestly prefer this. Milford just dominates the kit the entire time in a way that Ali didn’t, and Zorn’s more aggressive improv based style just works better for this kind of thing. You can tell the crowd is in awe the entire time to because it almost sounds like they’re holding in their cheers until the songs are over, just with how explosive the applause is. In lieu of that though, here’s the performance I mentioned https://yewtu.be/watch?v=ujjki3nLmV0

I just started listening to Jazz and I don’t want this thread to die, because I’ve been slowly going through everything posted here and it’s all amazing. Makaya, especially, is something else. In the Moment is now one of my favorite albums. I don’t know if I’m cool enough to listen to it, but I do anyways.

Adam Neely mad a cool video (really more of a documentary) about video game music and jazz more specifically. It's pretty neat. Not super deep into music theory or anything, it's mostly about the scene and cultural impact. https://youtu.be/oKWgLe-jQjc
