Jazz anyone?

[mow]

guys i havent met anyone who worships jazz in the forum yet, which is wrong TERRIBLY wrong! use this thread to talk about all the greats lousi armstrong, miles davis, trane, mingus, dolphy and dave burbeck, and my personal goddess Norah jones. Tlak about your fav tracks and such. you all now the drill :) .

Personally my fav (and first) jazz track which defines the whole genre for me is dave burbeck's Take ive. that song is such a masterpiece. what do you think?

[fanime]

Does it have to be strictly 100% pure jazz or is it also allowed to post blended streams? Cauz in that case I like to mention the jazzmattaz series of Guru (from Gang Starr) It's jazz blended with hiphop :)

Oh and I almost forgot to mention US3 - Cantaloop. It's still one of the best blended songs out there imo.

Btw besides Norah Jones another female artist mede her debut: Katie Melua (Crawling up a hill). Never heard of her before but what a beautiful voice. Very impressive song. Seems that there are a lot of young artist who are making music with jazz influences.

[mow]

wlecome on board fanime, as long as there jazz in it, its all good, oh yeah and ive heard Katie Melua and she does have one hella of a voice!

[fanime]

hey thx! I'm not too sure but that one song from Mr "Matchmo"(Louis Armstrong) called Wonderfull World. Guess it isn't considered jazz?

[mow]

"i see trees of green

Norah is great...especially when you're feeling melancholic...and lovey-dovey XD

i know, her voice just gives me goosebumps, makes you wann grab somone and cuddle with them all night *looks at the empty spot on the couch* sigh, its sucks not having someone!

[Rn3L]

when the word jazz is mentioned ... the groups Toxic Audio, New York Voices and The Real Group pop into my mind.

ahh, i miss those vocal jazz days at school

[Arty]

yeah, Kind of blue is a classic, but after kind of blue, it gets tons better. I'm partial to live Miles, though.

[mary no jutsu]

i play piano for my schools jazz band. ive sjut gotten into it but its really addictive

[NocturnalMe]

Miles Davis' kind of blue is a classic - I also like Bitches Brew though. And Dave Brubeck is very good as well. Weather Report - "I Sing the Body Electric" (jazz fusion) is GREAT!

Coltrane, Charlie Parker, Jelly Roll Morton Charlie Mingus and Thelonius Monk....! I could go on. It's not my favorite genre, but the tops of the genre are quite entertaining and inspirational.

[mow]

wow im glad there are so many jazz fans around :)

[ageofdarkness]

Ah! Jazz, I have listened to jazz since I was 5, my dad turned on the
radio station to 95.5 Smooth Jazz so I could listen, or he buys cds
of the most famous jazz singers.

Now, my favorite is soul jazz, a development of hard bop and blues.
Developed in the late 1950s and most popular during the early 1970s,
I listened to soul jazz more than any other. I love to listen to Ramsey
Lewis's The In Crowd, perhaps the best known soul jazz, sung back in
1965. I used to listen to the Ramsey Lewis Trio, with Eldee Young and
Isaac Holt, but once they were replaced, bahh, their music wasn't as
good anymore.

Soul Jazz organists I listen to incude Bill Doggett, Richard Holmes, and
Jimmy Smith. Soul Jazz saxophonists I listen to include Gene Ammons,
Houston Person, Eddie Harris, Eddie Davis, Lou Donaldson, and Stanley
Turrentine. I also listen to whoever they perform with.

Yeah, I listen to Norah Jones once in a while, when my dad listens to
her. I like First Sessions, Come Away With Me, and Feels Like Home.
Miles Davis III pretty much rules. I have listened to the albums Birth
of the Cool, Miles Ahead, Milestones, and especially Kind of Blue.
Satchmo was great. My dad has many of his hit records, Stardust,
Hello Dolly (It actually knocked the Beatles out of the #1 spot in the
top tracks for a while, that is what my dad told me), What a
Wonderful World, you name it. Dave Brubeck is ok, me and my dad
don't like him too much. In Your Own Sweet Way and The Duke are
my favorites. Pick Up Sticks, Unsqaure Dance, and Blue Rondo A La
Turk are ok.

How do I know these names? Well, my father taught me all about them,
and he could write a 5 page essay on every one of them. Yes, my
father's favorite music is soul jazz as well. For other jazz artists, he
knows stuff a lot of fans don't know, and he doesn't tell me. Yikes,
that's 48 years of jazz information in my dads head. :)

[mow]

Fathers are a wonderful thing arent they?, my father also introduced me to jazz along with rock, and i will never be able to repay him for that.

Glad to see there are many jazz enthusiast on board the froums, i repped you all :amuse

[Pervert-Sennin]

miles davis kind of blue, is one of the best jazz albums of all time. isnt everything old in music better than music right now? I always feel if we didnt have msuic videos the world would be beter off

Kind Of Blue was my first jazz album and it started me off into jazz music.Thelonious Monk is also one of my favorites.

[Vertlain]

If artists such as Diana Krall, Al Di Meola or Chick Corea play jazz, then I'm a jazz fan.

[kane_x]

I like Jazz a little, I've spent alot of time listening to it trough Winamp lately...
I've never actually bought a Jazz record though, mostly because never could decide what to buy, since I really don't know the genre that well...

well if you wont some album recommendations, just ask here or pm me, ill be more than glad to help out a fellow jazz lover :amuse

[Malice]

I love jazz. Fusion, swing, big band, whatever. I'm a drummer, so that may explain it. Dave Weckl, Anita Baker, Dizzy Gillespi, Boney James, whatever i hear. It's all so good. Anyone else share my passion?

[evilness]

Well Jazz isn't something I listen to, but sometimes I play Jazz. I should of joined my school's Jazz band ><

[Keramachi]

I play the alto sax, so it's basically a rule that I should like jazz. And I do.

[Violence Fight]

Jazz is cool, But you gotta get the oldschool stuff. Jazz is something I appreciate more than any other music, as most of it is a huge solo.

[Malice]

Improv. Love it. Oldschool like Benny Goodman, Dizzy Gillespi, Buddy Rich and all them? I love them.

[mow]

a jazz drummer :wOOt teh awesomeness, i have another thread like this, so ill just merge it with this one :amuse

Crrraazzy. Cool. Crazy, Cool, Yeah!

[mow]

Your enthusiam is almost too much! :laugh

[Malice]

Actually, that was sited from "Westside Story". Ha. But yeah, I'm a drummer. I play jazz. Well, actually, jazz, funk, swing, smooth jazz, bebop, and a little latin, but mainly fusion jazz. If you had to compare my style to someone, it would be John Blackwell Jr. or Dave Weckl. My set's still under construction, well, my Pearl (I have three drumsets: A Yamaha DP jazz config 4 piece, a Roland V-Drums Stage 5-piece, and My love, the Pearl). My project is currently a Pearl 2005 model ELX-Export Select 5-piece in a fusion config (10",12",and 14" mounted toms, 22" bass, and 14" snare) in an amber fade with black hardware. I'm getting an 8" mounted tom and a 16" mounted tom in same everything for my b-day (feb 12). I have all Sabian cymbals. Right now they are ProSonix 18" China, ProSonix 20" Ride, ProSonix 16" Crash, ProSonix 14" Hats, AA 16" Thin Crash, and B8 10" Splash. I'm going to get a 16" ProSonix China, 8" ProSonix Splash, replace the B8 with a ProSonix 10", and replace the AA with a 14" ProSonix Crash. All my hardware is Pearl minus a straight cymbal stand, hi-hat stand, and snare stand. I'm gonna change that. Heads will be Remo Pinstripe on tom tops with Remo clear Emperor on bottom, Remo Emperor coated on snare top, clear on bottom, Remo Powerstroke 4 on bass front (hitting side) and Pearl Black ProTone on resonant side. Sorry if I bored you, but I had to get out how magnificent it will be.

[mow]

Sorry if I bored you, but I had to get out how magnificent it will be.

Bored me? you gotta be kidding! that was so much fun to read! Its always grand to see someone so devoted to music, and escpically jazz. Do you have any songs youve played recored on your pc? if yes please do share, Id love to listen to some of your work :). Oh and your style is kinda like John Blackwell Jr. or Dave Weckl? You have been repped :amuse

[Malice]

Thanks...Well the only recording i have is of my state champion marching band. I'm on snare here.. (http://www.keypoulan.com/comep_heart.html). You here purcussion on Adrenaline Rush and Heart Attack. Heart Attack's snare solo's loads of fun. I'll look into getting a recording of set though...

[Larethian]

Wow Moe we've got the same taste on music. I grew up on jazz hearing it through the wall while my brother play jazz on trumpet preparing for concerts with his band. I love jazz Miles Davies, Natalie Cole, Pat Metheny, Ravi Coltrane, Dizzy Gillespie, Bobby McFerrin, Chick Corea, Chet Baker, Diana Krall, Stan Getz, Keith Jarret,Gill Evans (although i do know only some records of them). Have you ever heard about polish jazz? Leszek Mozdzer, Adam Pieronczyk, Jaroslaw Smietana, Tomasz Stanko? If you want some just tell me, it's a matter of ripping some cds' so it's not hard to do. I'm still trying to find Tesco Value sorry i put it somewhere in my room :) ).

Leszek Mozdzer and Adam Pieronczyk I faintly recall, but not Jaroslaw Smietana, Tomasz Stanko. Thanks for looking for Tesco Value for me man, i really appreciate it :amuse

[kurisawa]

im starting to venture into the jazz genre. not familiar with many of the artists though but damn, it's so chill.

[NinjaJedi007]

ive been exposed to a lot of Glenn Miller Orchestra. i used to listen to this cassette tape with tons of awesome songs. it was one of those things were you never wanted to skip a track cuz all of them were so good. wish i could remember some of the songs though. a classic that ya just cant forget: In The Mood.

[BlueCheese]

I know I normally reccomend Hip Hop but I've been really in the mood for Jazz lately. I have to admit though that my knowledge on Jazz is shamefully somewhat lacking. But when I was listening to the radio with my dad a while ago, this song was played and we have both loved it ever since. So much so that we imported the entire album from Japan.

Anyway the song is called Symphonic Poem "Watarase". The song Watarase originally is just piano playing from Fumio Itabashi, however in this live recording we have folk singer Yuki Kaneko's powerful vocals and the Kanagawa Philharmonic Orchestra. I have listened to this song countless times over the last month or so and I just don't get tired of it.

I'm not really good at describing things so I guess I'm just gonna have to tell you to trust me on this one and listen to it. As per usual, anyone that wants it just has to ask.

[mow]

You know I want anything that you enjoy mate :P

[Catatonik]

Pimpage here please.

[BlueCheese]

You know I want anything that you enjoy mate :P

That's why I already sent it to you :)

@Cata

Sent to you too!

[Catatonik]

The Gnomes have found a new way to say Hooray.

:)

[mow]

cheers mate

and god damn it, I cant find my Supersilent files anywhere -_-

[Catatonik]

This is a VERY interesting track, and the vocals are very traditional (which I know many people might find hard to swallow having been raised on western views of vocal structures) but I have to say, I really enjoy this. Thanks man :)

[BlueCheese]

Traditional yes but also awesome.

[Catatonik]

No arguement here my friend.

That is some good shit.

You ever been exposed to Shpongle?

[BlueCheese]

Nope can't say I have.

[Catatonik]

moe!!!!

O.o

You haven't given this dear fellow Shpongle?

>.>

I guess I have an excuse to rip Tales of the Inexpressible again.

[mow]

I didnt :(, but since your upping Tales, I'll up Are Yoo Shpongled? and Nothing Lasts..Niothing IS Lost. It will give us a good exucse to ranty and shpongle everyone :D

oh mate, I faintly rwecall you said that you didnt get Madlib - Shades Of Blue, swas that the case, or is my memory slipping away?

[Catatonik]

STILL no Madlib.

I'll also take Are You Shpongled. :)

I guess it's time to re-up Internal Affairs (now that we have a genuine system for sharing).

[BlueCheese]

Probably cos I only make cameo appearence in the music board every now and then. I have no idea why I don't come here more often.

I presume your talking to Cata about Shades of Blue, cos I have it and love it.

Dunno if you remember me saying before though about my computer being broken, well it still is. I have been without most of my music collection for a few weeks now. Plus as I came home on the train so I could do work (I'm a computer science student and so need a computer!) I had to leave behind most of my CD's too. I must say I can't wait to get it all back. You made me wanna listen to Shades of Blue again.

[Catatonik]

That sucketh much ass.

My condolences.

[BlueCheese]

Thankfully not too much longer though. Should have it back this week.

[Catatonik]

That provides a glimmer of hope for the bleak darkness surrounding you :)

We'll give your pc a few presents when it's revived ;)

Well it does have a nice new hard drive to store lots of anime and music. I can't wait.

[Catatonik]

We'll fill it and FAST.

[BlueCheese]

All 320 GB? Man I wish I could have that much music.

[Catatonik]

hahah
I have erased easily that much over the past two years

[BlueCheese]

Erase?!?!!? Why?

[Catatonik]

Lack of space, virus', boredom...

take your pick, I've used em all (as well as burning em off to MP3 Discs).

Mostly it's because I now OWN the CD and don't need the files on my hard drive

[BlueCheese]

Ah I much prefer my files on my computer so when I buy a CD I generally just put it on my computer anyway. I'm on my computer all the time so it makes sense to have it there.

[Catatonik]

I have to budget my space :D

Atleast until I get more.

[BlueCheese]

Hahaha I love the new name of the music department. Very fitting.

Anyway gonna raid my dad's Jazz collection in a minute, what should I look out for?

[Catatonik]

Coltrane, Miles and Thelonius Monk should be your first grabs.

[mow]

and Dave Brubeck! and Duke ellington! It ont mean a thing if it aint got the swing!

and yeah, Occa is having fun changing the names of the forum areas XD

[Catatonik]

Actually, if there is Zappa, that comes first.

It is a must.

Ok my guitar teacher keeps telling me about how awsome jazz guitar players are so I need to learn, please show me the world of jazz.

So, what should I review tomorrow? Art Balkely - Art Balekey Is Jazz or John Coltrane - A Love Supreme?

Art Balkely - Art Balekey Is Jazz


Balekly

[Catatonik]

Hahhahaha

Dear god, a LOT

ALmost as many as metal....if not more.

[mow]

The essence of jazz is the spontanous creation and improvasation of music. So you will find anything in jazz. From Hiphop to ambience.

[hokageryu]

hehe yeah i was watching a show today in VH1 100 greatest 1 hit wanders and they showed this hip hop jazz band and damn!! that sounded really good heh, but there must be like some top styles of jazz ???

[mow]

hehe yeah i was watching a show today in VH1 100 greatest 1 hit wanders and they showed this hip hop jazz band and damn!! that sounded really good heh, but there must be like some top styles of jazz ???

I can bet you my left arm the band they mentioned is Digdable Planets. Which is a real shame, because their style jazzified hiphop still sounds as good as it was back in the day.

If you dont mind obscurity, try some free form or avant grade jazz. Off the top of my head I reccomend

Eric Dolphy - Out To Lunch
Pharoah Sander - Karma
Sam River - Contours
Yusef Lateef - Eastern Sounds
Cecil Taylor - The World of Cecil Taylor
Andrew Hill - Point of Departure and Black Fire
Grachan Moncur III - Evolution
Jaki Byard - The Jaki Byard Experience
Charles Mingus - The Black Saint And Sinner LAdy

[theskyisfallin]

Jazz is one genre I have made no progress into. Well not no progress, I do like Madeleine Peyroux but that's not very 'out there' type jazz.

I took Miles Davis' Kind of Blue out of my college library and didn't enjoy it...I think I should have just sat and listened to it intensely to try and accustom myself with the jazz sound (as I've mainly listened to Rock music all my life) but I didn't. I may take it out again over the weekend.

Tell a lie, I do like The Mahavishnu Orchestra, but they aren't straight up jazz.

[Efraim Longstocking]

I'm practically dead on talking jazz.. But my jazz god has become John Zorn because of his work with Patton and cloon's pimpage of Naked City.

[mow]

Have you heard John Coltrane - My Fav. things? A cover of Louis Armstrong, and I dare to say it puts Louiy to shame. I'm actually grooving to that track right now, want me to up it for you? It's as sweet as they come.

[Efraim Longstocking]

I have that one :smile-big

[mow]

yeah, the good ol' mixtape :amuse. But you're misin a few tracks from the record. Everytime We Say Goodbye and Summertime are total love.

It's amazing how jazz musicians are. Almost all of the have a gigantic catalouge and most of their work is flawless. Coltrane went from smooth jazz ( I use that erm loosley) to some really (REALLY) psychadellic and obscure work, most notebaly in Interstellar Space, which is quite a hard pill to swallow from how obsucre it is. How would've though a person can create such noise from simply an alt sax?

[Jef88]

hey Moe got anything of jaga jazzist? only got 3 songs :sad

[mow]

DUDE, I have everything Jaga. From Eps to rarites :amuse. I'll up their discography for you tonight =]

I';m in love with Ella Fitzgerald. I really am. She's so talented. And Miles Davis, man. Michael Brecker. There are so many good jazz musicians out there. I got a new CD today from class. I'll pimp you all when I get home.

I seriously think jazz is awesome. You should ask ol' Sunny for Goran Kafjes. I'll even get that to you. It was good. Moe also gave me Yeseterday's New Quintet I think it was, and Madlib, which are also crazy good.

[BlueCheese]

Gone back to raiding my dad's collection, now listening to St. Germain - Tourist. Absolutely loving this.

[mow]

Ohh, can you up that record for me? I've eben meaning to hear for ages

Giro; do you have The Very Best Of Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong? It's fantastic and one of my most fav collabs of all time. I can up it if you wan :amuse

And is anyon missing some jaga jazzist? I'm currently ripping A Living Room Hush and What We Must. Fantastic stuff.

Thanks, Moe. I'm downloading ALH right now. Good timing. I'm writing a report. :iik

Would you mind upping that? That would be awesome!

Oh you're gonna love it. You'll either really concentrate, or completely drift off in la-la land XD

and sure thing. Ripping the cd now. Once Im done from it I'll upload her compliation Gold for you.

Uploaded St. Germain - Tourist for anyone that wants it.

Edit:

Jazzist rules <3

Now, the million dollar question?

How can you pick one definite John Coltrane Recording? I'm trying to introduce my friend to him, but I'm having the hardest of time making up my mind. Should I give her Giant Steps, A Love Supreme, Bluetrane or Lush Life?

I really want to burn Interstellar though , just to fuck her mind up XD

That being said, I've just uploaded Giant Steps if anyone is missing it

[o0oEnderIlleso0o]

Either Blue Train or Giant Steps. Maybe Blue Train just because it came before GS?

[mow]

I'm probabily going to do that, and I'll just toss in Naima as a bonus.

[AestheticizeAnalog]

I am a big Miles Davis and John Coltrane fan myself. My favourite standard would have to be nardis by Miles Davis, such an interesting song.

[o0oEnderIlleso0o]

I'm probabily going to do that, and I'll just toss in Naima as a bonus.

:whoo Good call!

[Catatonik]

Bluetrane for sure.

That's just the perfect intro.

I started her with blue train, now my entire coltrane collection is with her

So much love for musically inclined gals <3

(^ ten times better than Togther for The First time, and that record was perfect)
Weather Report - Heavy Weather

Art Ensemble of Chicago - Sirius Calling



Man this is going to be painful. I gues the best way to go about it is to pick one record from each subgenre to make the 10 record list.

[Catatonik]

That's almost effectively how I did the metal series.

And I still feel I am down a bunch of albums that NEED to be heard.

I'll probably start the series up again after I finish the other series

XD

*too lazy to read back in the thread*

i do like jazz, but recently i've been really into a lot of free-form jazz. namely a lot of john zorn and naked city, and also some 'jazzcore' stuff. i've always been a fan of up-tempo jazz, like bebop, Estradasphere are really cool, check out the song Bounty Hunter by them.

and ohh, Estradasphere is out of this world. Simp pimped them a while back, amazing stuff.

Who do you prefer the most? Ornette Coleman or Eric Dolphey?

[~Kaio-Cam~]

i'm not a huge jazz fan, i just like listening to it from time to time, and i like how cowboy bebop used jazz in thier anime. Right now, the only jazz music i'm listening to is by John Caltrane. I hope Jazz becomes more popular than it is now. Maybe the sounds will become more vivid than what Jazz has to offer. The bass for example :-)

[Efraim Longstocking]

Listening to Louis Armstrong right now... <3

Charles Mingus is jazz's finest bassist, and an amazoing composer/improv musicians at that too. I'll get you some of his stuff soon =]

[~Kaio-Cam~]

please do :-), i'm curious the jazz genre ^^. aKKieKid@hotmail.com is my msn if u have time:P

[RyanfromtheShire]

I don't know too much about artists and what not...not to mention my talents aren't up to par with Jazz musicians...but the local college radio station plays improv jazz and night and I'll sit there for hours listening to it!

Caeteno Veloso is the closest to jazz I own probably.

[BlueCheese]

Uploaded Soil and Pimp Sessions - Pimp Master, if I haven't sent it to you already ask me, definately not an album that should be missed. These guys are awesome. Heard them on the radio live once, simply blew me away. If I ever have a chance to see these guys live I think I would happily travel to another country to see them. Just awesome stuff.

Edit:
I know track 3 is missing but it's only 6 seconds and the guy that gave me the album didn't have it.

[|Axel of Konoha|]

I have never really met anyone who liked jazz...BUT I FREAKIN LOVE JAZZ..Favorites:
Maynard Fergurson
Duke Elington
Wysnton Marsalis
Miles Davis
John Coltrane
Art Blakey
Victor Wooten
The LoniusMonk

[LivingHitokiri]

Luis Armstrong is the best:wink

Hell yes! Dont you ttink Money Jungle is over ratted though? It's ace, no doubt about that, but I find his tribute to the late great composer/arranger Billy Strayhorn (whome Duke collaborated with extinsivly) ...and His Mother Called Him Bill to be the dukes most passinate, broken hearted and solid work to date. It hits a spot for me, the same way John Coltrane's Lush Life does. It' might not capture either at their peak, but the amount of passion enwrapped within it is godly.

Fav. Wyston record? And were you as happy as I was when they used his track for the new Ipod ad? My respect for apple tripled with that.

Luis Armstrong is the best:wink

Aye ;). Have you heard his collab with Elita Fitzerald? Easily ranks on my top 10 jazz collabs of all time.

[|Axel of Konoha|]

Just listening to some of my stuff...anyone ever hear...Maynard Fergurson on Gospel John? Those are some high notes...

[mow]

I cant recall any of Maynards work really =[

In other merry news, I've found my copy of Chick Corea's Return to Forever! There is much joy in moe land at the moment. Oneof my most fv. Avant grade jazz fusion records of all time.

Corea's career shot through the roof when he worked with Miles Davi's 3rd quntent on In A Silent Way and Bitches Brew. Bitches Brew was the essintail recording in jazz IMO, becuase al the session musicians from that quartet went on to create the 70's top jazz fusion bands. I mean, Zawinul and Shorter started Weather Report, McLaughlin formed THE Mahavishnu Orchestra, Hancockwent and created Headhunters, Chick Corea went o nto form Return to Forever

Thank you, Miles Davis <3

EDIT: lol, I know see what forky meant we he said that jazz fans come off as extreme elitisits, even when they dont mean it.

[Jean]

I like jazz, especially the piano solos. ^^

[mow]

Then I'll be sure to pass Charles Mingus - Mingus Plays Piano (The only record where Mingus played the piano solo from start to finish. Remarkable effort by a man who was hailed by all simply as a bass god.) your way ^.^ along with some Duke Ellington and Bill Evans - A Portrait Of Jazz .

[o0oEnderIlleso0o]

Listening to Wayne Shorter's "Ju Ju" NON-stop.

[mow]

Now that is fucking ace.

How can you go wrong with a man who was a member of Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers, the Miles Davis Quintet and The Weather Report? Speak No Evil and JuJu were 2 of the greatest thing ever to happen to jazz. Espically Speak No Evil. Aside form the fact Wayne's quartet was one of the finest of all tiem, it takes off right where Miles Davis - Kind Of Blue stopped, expanded on it and took it to places Miles couldnt at the time.

[o0oEnderIlleso0o]

moe you are a god. The influence of Shorter is undeniable in those groups. I would give both kidneys to see those four work together. I agree with your comment on Kind of Blue. Especially on this album were his writing seems lighter than his previous work.

[mow]

Holy fuck. I just got my copy of John Coltrane - Expression; his last studio record before his death 4 month later, and it's bloody brilliant. I never heard Coltrane playing with such intensity in my entire life

[|Axel of Konoha|]

Does anyone have an mp3 of some really nice smooth jazz, without words. I need to have some background music for my project. Thanks.

[mow]

Sure thing, I'll make you a 5 track mix cd now =]

[|Axel of Konoha|]

Thanks a million! How do you rep someone by teh way? So I can give you some.

[mow]

No need mate, glad that I can help ^.^

To rep a person, click on the balance gify next to the online status bulb =]

If you liked those tracks, tell me and I'll up each corresponding record for you :amuse

[Kucheeky Badkuya]

I never really went deep into jazz. I don't know really why. What got me, to recongize jazz, was probably Cowboy Bebop. The Cowboy bebop was superb and I liked some of the jazz style work and influence it had in it.

[mow]

kuchi, how about I forward you that mellow jazz link?

Colin and I plan to do a top ten seminal jazz recordings of all time soon. Be sure to check it out. Till then, I will perodically upload a jazz record for you every once and a while ^.^

And yes, Cowboy Bebop was indeed grand. Yoko Kanno is a fantastic composer and her work on the OST really covered a huge portion of jazz and it's various sub genres. It really is a fun way to get into jazz really.

[Jink]

interesting thread. I only know a few blues but I want to ge tmore in the genre, plus I'm doing my junior graduation project on Jazz and I need to know more about it

[mow]

Oh that's wonderful! What area of jazz are you focusing on? Or is it simply an overview of jazz in general?

I'm going to upload John Coltrane - Giant Steps for you in a bit. One of Coltrane's early period jazz records and agood intro to his material. Plus he manages to make a fanatastic balance between his later free form work and traditional jazz sounds

well its mainly Jazz in general, the jazz culture, Jazz's impact on american culture etc etc and stuff like that. I wanted to listen to some Jazz to get a personal opinion on it. Some of Coltranes work would be greatly appreciated :)

[Schwarzwald]

I've never really listened that much into straight jazz but I am and always have been a smooth jazz enthusiast.

Nelson Rangell
Boney James
Kim Waters
Chieli Minucci
Walter Beasley
Marcus Miller

That's a decent list of what I normally listen to, but there are a few others, depends on the song.

Anybody else here more in my boat?

[mow]

?Im beginning to think that Eric Dolphy - At The Live Spot Vol. 1 & 2 is the greatest live jazz recording of all time. Booker Little trumpet + Eric's clarinet is an insanily powerful and humble combo. I love how their solos tug at each other like two brothers who share a mutual profound respect, yet try to out do the other sibiling when everthe oppurtiunity arises.

Like Someone In Love perfectly reflects someone in love.

[|Axel of Konoha|]

I was watching some TV and I saw a new IPod Commerical with Wynston Marsalis. It had a pretty nice song by the way. And at the end it said Wynston Marsalis "Sparks". Is that a new album or something? Help is appriciated!

[mow]

I know! I was so giddy grooving to it when I so the commercial. It's featured in an exclusive itunes Live recording session. It's only 1:14 minutes in lenght though

[|Axel of Konoha|]

Do you know what the song is called?

[mow]

Sparks :amuse. The record is entitled itunes Live Session EP. It also includes 3 videos too.

[|Axel of Konoha|]

XD..oops stupid me....Do you have a download for it?

[mow]

You're not mate XD. I'll try to get for you soon =]

[|Axel of Konoha|]

Thanks man...once I finish my homework, I will for sure give you some stuff!

[Nakor]

haven't read the thread( too long), but does anyone listen to free jazz, like sun ra?

[mow]

Yep. The Futuristic Sounds Of Sun Ra is rad. Have heard Ornett Coleman - Free Jazz or Eric Dolphy - Out To Lunch?

[Nakor]

Actually i just happen to be listening to Eric Dolphy now. its just enjoyable to listen to. but i've never heard Ornett Coleman before.

[mow]

Im going to upload it right now =]

Isnt the drum work in the Dolphy record out of this world? Willimas was ahead of his time.

[Kush P]

I have couple of jazz albums...Coltrane - Giant Steps and Charlie Parker - Star Eyes...My favorite jazz song right now is Dizzy Gillespie - Swing Low, Sweet Caddilac, its hilarious!

[Nakor]

oh it is. but im a fan of everything on the album. so my opinion my be alittle biased :P

[mow]

It is. Eric was brilliant. Such a shame he passed so early. I cant even begin to imagine the diections he could've taken the avant grade/free form jazz movement.

Since you like this style of jazz; I highly reccomend checking these few out

Pharoah Sander - Karma
Sam River - Contours
Yusef Lateef - Eastern Sounds
Cecil Taylor - The World of Cecil Taylor
Andrew Hill - Point of Departure and Black Fire
Grachan Moncur III - Evolution
Jaki Byard - The Jaki Byard Experience
Charles Mingus - The Black Saint And Sinner LAdy
John Coltrane - Interstellar Space OR Expressions.

[Nakor]

Charles Mingus - The Black Saint And Sinner LAdy

i love charles mingus. well at least his album Mingus Plays Piano. i havne't heard anything else by him. i will for sure be checking this album out sometime soon.

thanks for other recommendations. ill have to search the internet and see if i can find some samples from these artists.

[mow]

I have couple of jazz albums...Coltrane - Giant Steps and Charlie Parker - Star Eyes...My favorite jazz song right now is Dizzy Gillespie - Swing Low, Sweet Caddilac, its hilarious!

You HAVE to listen to Sunny Side Up. The line up was Dizzy, Sonny Rollins & sonny Stitt. It's amazing. Another Dizzy master piece is his Afro-Cuban Jazz Moods. Great if you enjoy south american instrumentation.

My pride and joy in my jazz collection are my 45+ Coltrane cds :pleased

Fire; also, check out Rahsaan Roland Kirk - Bright Moments. It gives Out To Lunch a run for it's money

EDIT: I'll send you Mingus Ah Um and The Black Saint as soon as Ornett is done :amuse

[Nakor]

never heard of them, but ill be sure to check them out. though i don't see how it can compare to Out to Lunch

edit: i :love you moe, and im not afraid to say it.

[cloudabove87]

You eve hear of the Dave Brubeck Quartet? I used to play alto sax, so I love Take Five.

[mow]

oh man, that was my first song EVER XD. My dad said he played it the night they brought me back from the hospital.

[Fongie]

Can't say I've got anything constructive to add to this, but..
Jazz rocks, and I listen to it quite a bit smile-big

[mow]

It's so good to see more jazz fan arounds, you guys rule :hi5

I uploaded The Ornett Colemon Double Jazz Quintet - A Collection of Free Jazz Improvs.. If you're interested just hit me on pm and I'll pass the link by you

[cygnus]

Anyone actually PLAY jazz here. Other than myself...

[|Axel of Konoha|]

Uh...yea play in my school jazz band...don't know if that counts...also on my own.
By the way what instrument do you play?

[Fongie]

Anyone actually PLAY jazz here. Other than myself...

I've played quite a lot of jazz together with my dad, I play the trombone and he plays the trumpet. :amuse

[mow]

Tired my hand on trumpet and alt sax, but my lung capacity is hideosuly small, so I could never manage the well. My only hope is bass, which is still cool.

Mingus 8)

[Kush P]

Yeah bass on jazz would be soo pimp...Although I always wanted what it would be like drumming for a jazz piece..I bet it would be great

[mow]

Drumers tend to have the hardest time really. Between every single instrument trying to solo and improvisingall at once, drummers must remain extremely sharp to keep everything under control and give it a sense of balance.

MY fav drummer has to be Anthony Williams from Eric Dolphy's Quartet in Out To Lunch. and Art Balkey. Art Balkey and the Jazz messengers own.

[|Axel of Konoha|]

I really like Art Blakey's druming

[BlueCheese]

I used to play the flute, but that's a few years back now.

So what did people think of Soil and Pimp sessions? I never got any feedback from it.

[AestheticizeAnalog]

I play jazz guitar once in awhile by myself but i mostly jam standards in my lessons.

[mow]

I used to play the flute, but that's a few years back now.

So what did people think of Soil and Pimp sessions? I never got any feedback from it.

Can you re up it for me mate?

[BlueCheese]

Yeah sure man, I'll upload it now.

[mow]

Cheers mate. Promise to listen to it the moment I d.l it =]

[jkingler]

Yeah, I need it re-upped, too, BC. I only DLed it like a few days ago. The link was long departed. :laugh

[BlueCheese]

Ok I have uploaded Soil and Pimp Sessions - Pimp Master again, I'm not gonna bother to send it round to everyone this time so if you want it just ask.

[ChaochroX]

I love Jazz but in Chicago there is no real Jazz station. We got smooth Jazz but thats really like a bunch of Sade (which my mom loves) and NPR but they only play Jazz on sundays. But I idolize Miles Davis and Satchmo. We are chicago you know we should have like a Jazz/Blues station but what ever.

[mow]

Wow, Soil & The Pimp Sessions was so sweet! The back and forth between sax and trumpet was superb. Drumming was sharp as a knife and though it feelt improveised, it still managed to maintain a great deal of control melody wise. Ace mate, if you have more by the artist, do share!

[BlueCheese]

Unfortunatly no, they have another album called pimpin', a mini album called Summer Goddess and two singles out. They also have a live in london dvd which I heard on the radio, it was awesome.

But yeah, I knew you would like them man. If at some point I do get hold of some more stuff by them (which is highly likely) I'll be sure to upload it.

[mow]

Thanks alot mate!

Im really digging this, it feels like the old Miles Davis from the cool era mixed up with Duke Ellington swing and Sonny Rollins smooth sax mixed up with cuban music. It's insanily good, everyone needs to check this.

[BlueCheese]

Haha, yeah, now you see why I was a bit suprised when I hadn't heard anything from anyone after uploading it. Their supposed to be coming to London on 24th April, I'm definately not gonna miss that.

[CrazyMoronX]

I love Jazz.

I listen to a jazz station here in Colorado to and from work frequently, it's commercial free so that's a plus.

Of course, I'm going to admit that I only listen to it when the rock station is on commercial. Please don't hate me. :cry

[mow]

Sent you a little treat crzy :amuse

in other news:

I HAVE THE NEW CHICK COREA RECORD!

AND IT"S AWESOME!!!

[Larethian]

Oh my Chick is one of the best jazz piano players, i worship him :amuse
Have you ever heard a record of him supporting Bobby McFerrin? I think the cd's title was "The autumn leaves" or sth.

[Catatonik]

Just bought The Buena Vista Social Club album.

I LOVE the book that comes with it.

I just started to get into jazz last year, so I'd definitely like to hear jazz anyone pimps up in the future.

[o0oEnderIlleso0o]

Just picked up the new "him" album (jazz NOT the overrated goth-rock). Uppings soon! It sounds heavenly.

[n8dogg]

Picked up a real cheap 6 dollar Stan Getz compilation the other day. Hasn't left my cd player yet.

Is it me or is the jazz section at FYE getting smaller... and smaller...

[EXhack]

Love Jazz!

You know Oliver Jones went to my school to perform, it was like God and the Devil coming out of his hands.

[sxlext]

Armstrong is still the king of jazz. with his powerfull voice... WOW!!!

[Jef88]

personal question
whats your favorite
New Jazz
or
Classic Jazz

[blahsunghoon]

Does fusion count?

If so, I like Mahavishnu Orchestra, Shakti, Allan Holdsworth, and some Al Di Meola.

I also like some jazz like Wes Montegomery, Joe Pass, and Django Reinhardt.

Note that they're all jazz guitarists. I'm a guitar player myself so I usually tend to listen to the guitar stuff.

[Jef88]

fusion has some great stuff :love


i'm so gonna look those up

[Hayate.G]

I really like Art Blakey's druming

Yes, I do too.

[BlueCheese]

Saw Soil and Pimp Sessions live tonight, absolutely amazing. If any of you ever have the chance to see them make sure you do. Not something that should be missed. Will hopefully have their second album soon. Of course I will upload it when I get it.

[BlueCheese]

[Hokage Naruto]

You guys need some John Coltrane. I only have Lush Life, but thats all you need to start your beginning on a righteous path of jazz. I'll upload it in a bit for you guys. :amuse

Same here T___T

same problem as befor

[Fongie]

Soil and Pimp ftw :thumbs

[BlueCheese]

Ahhh it must be because it has Japanese characters and you guys don't have Japanese language pack installed. I can't see why it wouldn't play though... I'll rename the files and upload again. It's ripped from a cd imported from Japan.

[BlueCheese]

Right well I uploaded it again after redoing all the track titles and stuff so there is no japanese in there. I'm not gonna send it round for a third time, so if anyone wants the new link just ask here or PM me or something.

[Jef88]

i'm DLing right now
i'll let you know as soon as posible
hope it works now

[Harlita]

Ahhh yeahhh.. Diana Krall... US3.. I like infusional style too.. acid and smooth jazzes.

*melts* Thank you for this thread. No, you aren't the only one who likes Jazz.

And for the record, due to a younger brother of one of the band members in 311 being a huge Jazz nerd, there are several 311 songs that you might like as well.

8:16am and Lose off Grassroots is two of their unknown wonderfuls. That band is terribly eclectic.

[Jef88]

Halleluya it worked

so much love
great music :love

Lol awesome man. After all that youl have to tell me what you think.
