Kenny Barron just released his first solo album in many years a few weeks back. Absolutely worth checking out: https://youtu.be/0p4z_ihfjTI

Recently found the first jazz artist that made sense to me: Ornette Coleman. Any obvious places to go from there?

Sun Ra is a good starting point as are the later albums of John coltrane (especially ascension and afterwards) What draws you to Coleman?

Charlie Haden and Don Cherry both had prolific careers in free jazz. Personally I like Haden but don’t care for Cherry. Keith Jarrett if you wind up liking Charlie Haden.

I am learning to like jazz, and I'm not sure how to describe what kind I'm looking for. I like the really intense chaotic sounding type, is that hard jazz or something else? Any recommendations for finding more?

Intense and chaotic as descriptors makes me think of "free jazz" or "avant garde jazz". A lot of musicians fit into these categories, including Ornette Coleman, Pharoah Sanders, Alice Coltrane, Sun Ra, among others. I don't think "hard jazz" is a recognized subgenre. There's "hard bop", but that isn't very chaotic in comparison. Clifford Brown was active at the beginning of hard bop (died in a car accident at 25). Many popular jazz musicians were associated with hard bop from the mid 50s through the mid 60s.

OP, do these tickle your fancy? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tAK7BkVWgyc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J0FcKOfRgvE Mingus had a wide compositional range (all good), but maybe you would like his uptempo stuff?

Digging into some of the stuff I got recommended and enjoying all the music but even aside from that Sun Ra is obviously fascinating, is the 1998 biography of him any good?

Thanks for the recommendations! Ive liked most of them so far. It seems what I was originally looking for is the free-form improv. Which kind of now has me wondering if there are any bands that play jazz style but with heavy distortions and effects? Unless that goes against the jazz sound entirely. I'm new and dumb at jazz.

KonMari DeathMetal posted:Thanks for the recommendations! Ive liked most of them so far. it might be the case that you're not actually looking for jazz as such. there is jazz with effects and distortion especially more recent artists but if you want that to be the focus you are likely to be getting into jazz adjacent stuff that is not strictly speaking jazz, for example free improv proper is really its own beast from jazz at least in the european tradition, even though there are musicians who have worked in both. there's an entire genre called EAI which is electronic free improv but this tends to sound more like recordings of fridges than anything really loud or harsh so you might not like it so much. you could try early AMM maybe since they were pretty loud and abrasive, they were an important group in early free improv. you might try listening to masayuki takayanagi, who was a guitarist in the japanese free jazz scene and did some legendarily noisy and abrasive records. the noisest ones are the ones he did with his group new direction unit as well as the collab stuff with similarly abrasive saxophonist kaoru abe. i think you would probably like the band last exit, which was made up of sonny sharrock, peter brotzmann, bill laswell and ronald shannon jackson. these guys were all veteran jazz musicians although the music is basically a kind of freeform jazz rock, but it's very good regardless of what you call it. another group you might check out is borbetomagus who have been making extremely harsh free improv since the 80s and they are cool, they were an important influence in the later japanese noise scene(which has little to do with jazz but it's something you might want to investigate if you just want music that is all about distortion and effects).

Jazz is great because I’ll be listening to Dark Magus, and Tatu will come on, and it’s the coolest, funkiest thing I’ve heard. Jazz is awful because I’ll look up the album and the track, and click through to the guitarist, and find out he did three things and died at 30.

I’ve been listening to Jazz for three months, and I finally found an album I just don’t like. For Alto by Braxton. For people who like it, what are you hearing that I’m missing?

drat. I was just starting to get into him and was amazed that he was still around. Bought At the Pershing a while back but didn't get around to it right away. I'm also digging Chamber Music of the New Jazz. We're gonna run out of these guys sooner rather than later

RIP Ahmad Jamal. Effortlessly cool music. I got to see him live as a kid at Yoshi's. I've been listening to more John Handy. Unfortunately a lot of his catalog is not on Apple Music. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_XC8qPmuxKk And I heard this Sonny Rollins recording on the radio the other day. He's got such a great sense of humor https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XD_NNnEkUq8
