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!

Stringent posted:actually i have a weird hunch you'd like hard bop, so here's a couple more. Pretty sure I had songs from each of these albums on my big jazz playlist, but it was nice listening to the albums. I'll look more into hard bop. Thanks a ton for the recs on a difficult ask!

reversefungi posted:Jazz is big about musicians intermingling and influencing one another, so it helps to look at the personnel lists of every album you like and seeing what else they've done. What John Coltrane do you like in particular? I'm going to assume his earlier hard-bop stuff, before he got into free jazz. So, for example, if you're a fan of the album Blue Train, you'll see that Lee Morgan is the trumpet player on that album. You can go listen to his own stuff where he recorded as a leader, like "The Sidewinder". Then from there you end up exploring Joe Henderson, Barry Harris, and it starts to spiral from there. You get the idea. I have appreciated everyone's recs in here (and have been trying to get through them!) but this is especially helpful for finding my own way. Thanks, bud!
