Recently got into Supergombo, which is a mix of Headhunters-style jazz funk with afrobeat. Their first album is incredibly catchy, funky and polyrhythmic. Great stuff. Check out Las Cuevas, Diakite, or Oiseau de nuit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n8NghrPDzi0

benny profane posted: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 |

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 |
