After reading this thread I realised I hadn't particularly listened to any Mingus so I've been dipping in. The Black Saint And The Sinner Lady absolutely kills, I love it

Any fans of Nubya Garcia in here? I just bought tickets to see her in a few weeks and I'm really excited. Her debut as a leader, Source, is really great, and she's also played on a whole bunch of other jazz records coming out of London in the last few years (the Maisha album is also fab).

I've only really heard her on her Nubya's 5ive album, but I found it to be pretty great. She played in London Brew, which I've read some positive things about. Supposed to be a Miles Davis - Bitches Brew tribute, with a lot of great modern London scene players. Been meaning to check it out, but I keep finding other things to listen to instead. e: while I'm here, here's some good jazz I've enjoyed recently: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=40eJ-rF8BrA Gilmore's bandcamp page has this quote on it, which I'm sure influenced the album: "I have a basic mechanical knowledge of the operation of the instrument, and I got an imagination, and when the time comes up in the song to play... it's me against the laws of nature...it's a game, where you have a piece of time and you get to decorate it." - Frank Zappa Pretty great guitar jazz imho. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vnIIIbXz9Ng Abrams has a really great minimalistic/african/krautrock/cyclical thing going on. Really unique stuff. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7eRfM8ck170 O'Neal's Porch remains one of the best free jazz quartet albums I've heard. Back when I was first getting into it, I found the dissonance to be a bit much, but I've since come to enjoy it. Even in dissonance, the interplay between Barnes and Brown is incredible, to say nothing of the rhythm section. William Parker and Hamid Drake together are easily one of the best rhythm duos in jazz, and this album just exemplifies that. e2: and that's not to say O'Neal's Porch is a hard album to listen to, it's actually really groovy for the most part. You just gotta be prepared for some dissonance in there. Smekerman fucked around with this message at 12:24 on Jun 16, 2023 |

Here's a recent release I enjoyed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2j5BJqI4Z4 There's a bunch of Sun Ra reissues popping up (which I gather is kinda happening at all times?) and the one I'm listening to now is Omniverse, really good. 1979, mostly a small combo, the soloists calm things down relative to another one from around same time, God Is More Than Love Can Ever Be, which is just Ra in a trio and everyone's going nuts, frantic in a fun way. I think the end of the '70s is my favorite period of Sun Ra of what I've heard so far, Sleeping Beauty and Lanquidity are my favorites. Is there like a Youtube series or MOOC or something I should check out as far as leanring some of the relevant music theory? I've been reading a lot about the stuff I'm listening to but really have no idea what it means when something is described as "modal" and such.

Really dig this version of In a Sentimental Mood, by Mihaly Dresch (Hungarian sax player). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dpyzBRXs_v4 Marcin Wasilewski Trio's renditon of Plaza Real is gorgeous: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJe-mvrn_p4 e: since i killed this thread, here are a few of my favourite jazz covers as well: Hot Club of Detroit is straight fire. Check out that accordion solo. gently caress yeah. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FCucD4g7s4I Frisell's rendition of I Heard It Through the Grapevine on West is fantastic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V41IXGISRSg Marcin Wasilewski Trio - Message in a Bottle: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZpXnr8b1UQ0 And to end on a different note, here's a pretty sweet piano jazz trio from Poland, sometimes free, sometimes lovely (this is one of the lovely times): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UnUHX658lhA Smekerman fucked around with this message at 17:38 on Oct 18, 2023 |

Until recently I had literally never listened to Rahsaan Roland Kirk because I thought he was just a novelty gimmick, but hold poo poo he was actually amazing and made awesome music. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZIqLJmlQQNM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=baoMvDXs6QM

I've been listening to Open Studio/You'll Hear It for a while now. Most of it is theory and pedagogy, but occasionally they'll have a Ron Carter interview or talk about current players too. Occasionally Norah Jones Is Playing Along will have some jazz musicians on.

I love KCSM 91.1 in the bay area. The signal used to be so bad you literally couldn't tell the difference between a drum solo and full static lol. These days it seems much better.

Are there any ensembles that have the energy and vibes of the Sons of Khemet? Lots of percussion forward looking not afraid to be a little bombastic, Tubas optional. I already know and love The Comet is Coming as well.

Saw some live jazz recently: just a music college performance (not sure what it's called but its a concert the jazz students put on at the end of the semester) Really gave me a new appreciation for live jazz. Not being distracted and just watching the performers and being immersed in the music made it an amazing experience. And there was a lot of talent! One saxophonist in particular just played the most blistering solos all night My point: go see live jazz!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u37RF5xKNq8 Somethin' Else by Cannonball Adderley I didn't know why I liked it but I knew it had to do with the trumpets and turns out it's Miles Davis on that instrument! Also I normally am not a fan of the piano-heavy works but this one is just beautiful throughout

One of my favorite albums, and the one that got me into jazz in a more serious way, is Ruler Rebel by Christian Scott aTunde Adjuah. Especially his trumpet but also just the whole overall sound. What else should I listen to based on that?

Toshiko Akiyoshi. I like her album with Paul Chambers and Ed Thigpen, though the standards aren't as good as the other songs. Not sure if this one is a Toshiko original or what. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCXyC685Aj4 Pat Moran put out a good album (feat Scott Lafaro!), but I think she quit the jazz scene shortly after. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FMFhG-Uubuo I also recently got the Jutta Hipp album with Gerry Mulligan. Gotta say she doesn't stand out as anything special on that one.
