Boomp

Miles Davis -
"You know why I quit playing ballads? Because I love playing ballads"
"It's not the notes you play, it's the notes you don't play"

Duke Ellington -
"It's all music"
"There is no art without intention"

I'm wondering if anyone here could help me out I'm not sure exactly what kind of jazz this is at the start of this track:

youtube.com/watch?v=06ruNOL6ZRQ

Is it just cool jazz? "Lounge" jazz? Could anyone recommend any artists/records that soudn like this?

Do you guys have a free jazz chart ?

not exactly

villagevoice.com/music/ten-free-jazz-albums-to-hear-before-you-die-6620440

factmag.com/2015/03/11/20-private-press-free-jazz/

not much in the way of charts for free jazz sadly

requesting any and all jazz charts

this is the first jazz album that i really liked. can you guys recommend me something similar to pic related?

swiss-jazz.ch/partitions-real-book.htm

>swiss-jazz.ch/partitions-real-book.htm
I was talking about like album guide charts and flowcharts and stuff like this one but thanks

if i want to play solo piano at like bars and coffee shops and whatnot, what's a good repertoire? i like bill evans style

have you heard Out To Lunch?

Anyone you guys know who captures music like Pharoah Sanders

sun ra

So I've listened to most of Davis, Coltrane, Mingus, Sun Ra, Eric Dolphy.

Everything was pretty good, but Out To Lunch blew me away. Where do I go from there?

jazz pleb here. really enjoyed Space is the Place, Soft Machine Third, and Peter Brozmann Machine Gun.

Where do i go from here?

Evans, The Duke, Ray Charles, Brubeck for sure. Brubeck plays in weird time signatures if that's your thing

I liked Time Out but. I don't want to say it's boring because it isn't. I guess it just didn't grab me like Out To Lunch did

...

cecil taylor? also,
>most of Sun Ra
how have you achieved this unimaginable feat of endurance?

probably more Sun Ra

...

He has 2 more albums all with non 4/4 time, iirc they're brubeck time and time further out

I'll check out Cecil Taylor. Currently listening to Dimensions and Extensions and liking it so far.

...

This is probably a pleb opinion, but my favorite period of jazz was the late 60's early 70's when all the old jazz greats started doing acid and going through all sorts of afrocentric spiritual phases

Nothing I've heard so far comes close to Mwandishi era Herbie Hancock, any more like this? Cosmic, avant garde, psychedelic, afrocentric

know what else you should definitely try is Joe Maneri - Paniots Nine. some epic fucking time sigs and solos i absolutely love this record actually

Just listened to conquistador, fucking great. Thanks a lot.

This it? youtube.com/watch?v=ROFDBzrj4Fc?

haha im glad cheers! and yee thats the first track. opah!

sounds like youre describing Sun Ra there to a T... I prescribe Disco 3000

Why did Miles hate Ornette?

I've been meaning to get more into Sun Ra actually. I enjoyed Space is the Place, but his discography is so massive and intimidating that I don't know where I should even go about it. thank for the Rec!

I can't find that first Armstrong compilation for the life of me, what is it?

after Miles listened to him on acid I think he got it

youtube.com/watch?v=nzpnWuk3RjU

toppest jizz

do you mean the hot 5s & 7s?

I've never seen that cover that's on the chart on any Armstrong compilation

yw cheers! ya pic related shud be just what youre looking for, the recording is a fair bit shittier than Mr. Hancock's stuff but tis to be expected with the Arkestra

yea there are just lots of versions of it because its so old i guess

Why does he keep moaning so much? KNOCK IT OFF!

cool jazz will certainly find you the wrong things

The Greg Foat Group is one that comes to mind

youtube.com/watch?v=H5qgwnfvf1c

Not quite as out there as Mwandishi-era Herbie but some albums that have a similar vibe and/or feature people from that band or are just out there I recommend are:

Bennie Maupin - Jewel in the Lotus
youtube.com/watch?v=O34A3XVinBk

Julian Priester - Love Love
youtube.com/watch?v=ul0zDWThUQQ

Larry Young - Lawrence of Newark
youtube.com/watch?v=bq1wI-A9eSI

Lonnie Liston Smith - Astral Traveling
youtube.com/watch?v=vbn9Y3aY4jc

of course early 70's Miles like On the Corner
youtube.com/watch?v=dbbCZaI313A

listening to Jarrett always makes me feel like I left some porn open in another tab

perfect recs, thanks!

definitely check out Lonnie Liston Smith's Astral Traveling I rec'd for the other guy - you could certainly fool people to think it's a Pharoah -album. Smith played piano in Pharoah's band around that time.

Sonny Sharrock, more guitar oriented though.

...

Your ballad sounds nice, reminds me of "Hang My Tears" a bit. Criticism: I'm not sure why it doesn't have a real melody to it. The chords are nice, but sounds like filler music in Nordstrom.

Listening to it actuially reminds me a lot of the Bill Evans trio albums. Obviously you're using more complex voicings which I thought you juxtaposed well.

How much did you charge when you started gigging? I've played out before, but never seriously. I play in a jazz trio and our first gig is playing a nice italian restaurant for 2.5 hours. Now, I don't know exactly what to ask for so that I don't lose the gig. My drummer advises $100 each, but he's much more experienced and busy than me while I'm the one doing all the booking. Is $100 a guy normal, or is $75 more realistic?

easily 2015 AOTY

ikr. I always find myself humming tunes from "Askim"

It's definitely a more modern take on that really old ballad sound ii-V style changes. (I love that organ too. Organs are the chillest instruments to just take a groovy swing solo)

I don't know if that new stuff is actually categorized into a genre, but I know a couple things that sound similar to it.

1. Greg Foat Group - Dark of the Sun. The main theme specifically. They're a group that uses a lot of non-traditional instruments with a lot of classic techniques.

2. Art Blakey and the... - Mission Eternal. While it's not the same at all, the organ vibe is pretty similar especially in that laid back sense. Check out the recording of Along Came Betty on it.

any recs for sinatra-esque jazz? not familiar with the genre or its subgenres but i love his music - fucking outstanding voice.

Yeah I have a rough time building and maintaining melodies. It's Autumn Leaves but I just don't like the melody that much tbqh

I've never heard that he hated him, but Miles said he was fucking crazy, and I agree. (He tried to get castrated to avoid falling for women anymore:::He could also allegedly play lines identical to Parker and did it 'for fun' every now and then.

(Guy that also listed Greg Foat Group). That's uncanny. Didn't think many people knew them.

yeah but miles was also fucking crazy so

why are there so few ratings for Chet Baker's late 70s and 80s records on RYM?

i'm making my way through them because I read somewhere that his later stuff was ignored in its day even though it was good.

Yea, but Miles made being crazy cool.

that album was terrible famalama

Who takes that alto solo in Open Letter to Duke? Is it Dolphy?

Keith Jarretts need to moan in order to keep their souls lubrcated

Because RYM is a terrible resource for jazz and there are many, many great jazz albums with less than 10 ratings on RYM.

What is wrong with modern jazz? it seems that were lucky to even get 5 or more above average jazz albums every year.

I'd disagree. Good jazz artists who are alive are hard to find in general; but they're certainly around. People would just rather listen to pop music and we can't exactly blame them when every other genre pushes notions of elitism towards any newcomers which is why I believe we have to make it an experience with the audience without the audience having to be musical erudite. It can be done to varying degrees with Kamazee, Glasper, Moonchild, and The Brecker Bros. The question is: Is it all in the simplicity?(This is all my opinion in the end.) Lets brainstorm here. How can we bring jazz music back into the mainstream and create a listening experience that can engage anyone? Basie did it with the incredibly simple and fun solos that worked great in combination with his personality, and pop does it with 4 chords. It seems the path that be-bop took the jazz world inhibited that because it became too complex for your average listener imo. I think energy influences that in a large part as well; such as, the large energy in big band or fusion, two very commercially popular genres.

Really? I feel like some of the greatest jazz groups to have ever played are coming out nowadays, particularly from the whole Scandinavian/Nordic part of the world.

>listening to Albert Ayler in Greenwich Village
I don't understand.
Maybe I should work my way up to this.
