Does anyone have a good breakdown of Brazillian jazz? There's a couple shows on the local college station that play a lot of it but I have a really hard time finding anything other than Bossa Nova or like Gilberto Gil and no complaints but I'd also like to listen to some of the brighter, more up tempo ensemble stuff especially w/ multiple singers. no idea what I'm looking for

Actually I've been having that problem a lot in general. Is there a good resource for finding standards you don't know the name of? There are a couple tunes that I hear pretty regularly from different groups on the radio, but can never place after the fact. Sometimes the track ID helps but usually its broken lol

this was one of those for me for a while:

Favorite recent discovery is David Matthews (the arranger)'s Dune concept album. Its well realized, and including Star Wars songs on the back half makes perfect sense to me. Highlights are Sandworms, Maud'Dib, and Princess Leia's Theme

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

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
