a good starting point for a new jazzer is any of the Miles Davis Quintet records - for me, Workin' With The Miles Davis Quintet is the tops.

Someone introduced me to this guitarist Ella Zirina from Latvia and it's the freshest thing I've heard in months, possibly years.

I am absolutely a jazz novice--I love jazz but don't know much about it. I dig Miles Davis, John Coltrane, and Thelonious Monk, and would appreciate any recs based on that.

I'm sure that's the equivalent of going into a rock thread and saying "I love The Rolling Stones, the Who, and Led Zeppelin, give me some recs" but I don't have any better frame of reference.

For whatever it's worth, I have tried listening to Herbie Hancock's Headhunters and despite the critical acclaim I absolutely do not get it, if that helps to refine my tastes any.

New or old artists, do not care!

you'd probably like Wes Montgomery if you're at all interested in jazz guitar. check out "The Incredible Jazz Guitar" and "Smokin at the Half Note"

I’m taking over this thread because I’m tired of having to keep the jazz general alive on a certain other website. The op is right, jazz is america’s greatest gift to the world! I’ll post the song that’s been in my head since I woke up this morning, Thelonious Monk’s Bye-ya off his first album. No horns, just monk in trio mode. This is from all the way back in 1953, and rather unfortunately you can’t find the original release on any kind of streaming service. Everything that’s up is just the second issue which added a 7 minute jam on the album which doesn’t really help it imo. The album is full of tightly composed but loosely played songs which give me an almost beatlesy vibe, and the jam just doesn’t match. Regardless though, here’s the song.

Really want to know how Dave King bad plus drummer :) chris speed plays tenor sax and Julian Lage got together. Their personalities seem nothing alike, but their playing is so on point.

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?

i think Monk sounds chaotic and intense, but YMMV: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hLopWusx-ZU
