Hey another jazz thread! Keep posting, I've discovered some great stuff from these threads. My favorites are mostly mid-century stuff but I came across this album today and am really digging it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yvl6xIVE2jg

KICK BAMA KICK posted:Recently found the first jazz artist that made sense to me: Ornette Coleman. Any obvious places to go from there? Did you listen to The Shape of Jazz to Come? 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.

KonMari DeathMetal posted: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? 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?

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

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 don’t often listen to it but Christian McBride’s NPR show is pretty good

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.

It seems like every new recording I hear and every new video I watch, it's Russell Hall on bass. Not complaining, though

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.

Smoking Crow posted:hi jazz thread. recently a friend asked me for recommendations for a first time jazz listener (she had only listened to laufey). so i made a list of 18 albums i think every jazz fan should hear categorized based on how they compare to grocery store salsa. what do you guys think? did I miss anything or is something miscategorized? That's a fine list. Moanin' is great but it's about as straight ahead as jazz gets for that era. IMO too much fusion, not enough Mingus. A track like Haitian Fight Song or Reincarnation of a Lovebird would be great medium tracks.

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
