Jazz Marimba posted:anyone got recs for jazz by women instrumentalists that aren’t the four everyone names? (alice coltrane, dorothy ashby, mary lou williams, lil hardin armstrong) lately i have been enjoying ai kuwabara, a very approachable pianist who does a lot of highly listenable covers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W69ChJxnzzI

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? imo the presence of pop covers which are played straight make something much more approachable, and kind of blue can be more challenging than it seems to dedicated jazz listeners. i would switch kind of blue and someday my prince will come. clifford would slot in great for an introduction to bop in 'medium'. very tuneful but clearly virtuosic bop.

Kaiser Schnitzel posted:Hello I really like Dixieland/New Orleans Jazz here are some favorites: jazz gospel's the best. the whole Funeral For A Friend album by the Dirty Dozen is super listenable, I think it'd be a perfect onramp for a new jazz listener with any existing interest in church music

Kvlt! posted:just listened to this and it was excellent, would love some more gospel jazz recs!! Steal Away is a lovely small-ensemble instrumental gospel (i guess mostly spirituals) album by Charlie Haden and Hank Jones. it is an overwhelmingly religious album which may turn some off, but The Revival by Cory Henry is a really nice live recording. hes an organist. church music is one of the major ingredients in the stew of musical tradition that jazz came out of. i think the dedicated jazz listener shouldn't shy away from exploring this part of jazz.

lets all appreciate Blossom Dearie at every opportunity. she was able to make a performance that's pianissimo the whole way through hit harder than forte. vocal jazz forever. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2MM-z3HwS6c

This just came on the radio and blew me away. Another adaptation of an old church song. Anybody else have recommendations for completely unaccompanied recordings? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NCrWa5SDkKw

you would be well served listening to an insane amount of cannonball as leader and sideman. he doesnt come off cutting edge these days but hes a great model imo.
