What's the best jazz album of the 2000's? What's the best jazz album of the 2010's?

Otomo Yoshide's New Jazz Orchestra - Out to Lunch!
It's pretty good, crazy and energetic reimagining of Eric Dolphy's classic of the same name. Much more free and wild than Eric Dolphy's but misses the emotion and sound of the original Out ot Lunch. However, I absolutely love Yoshide's version of Gazzelloni. The raw energy delivered from the Brass instruments, Drums and Yoshide's intense Guitar playing (along with Sachiko M's input with EAI elements and Mats Gustafsson's always profound Saxophone) is something to admire and creates a very weighty and esoteric sound, yet is suprisingly accessible and easy to listen to - especially fans of Free Jazz.
I would recommend it if your a fan of the more Free Jazz, especially Jazz that mixes in Noise elements.
Joseph Murphy
I like this infograph better
Andrew Gray
Can you recommend some more bands that incorporate noise elements into their sound? I know that Peter Brötzmann worked with a noise rock band. Are any of those collaborations worth checking out? Here's my recommendation for accessible free jazz combined with Hindustani classical music.
How do you justify the Brotzmann/McPhee album as being the best in the 2000's? Sounds like very generic free jazz to me?
Connor Miller
people on Sup Forums love to flip their shit over generic free jazz

Any good modern gypsy jazz players besides Joscho Stephan?

I wanted something bluesy so I got something bluesy. This a pretty cool record. Grant is amazing as usual and it's cool to hear him in what is basically (with his style of playing) a chordless group. In my experience, he usually falls into the BB King school of "guitars are for melody, not harmony" and he spends most of his time single note soloing, there's some class chord work in the heads with little bits in the soloing and some actual comping! I feel like Grant didn't comp enough, considering he was basically the blue note house guitarist. He wasn't bad at it either! His playing under Tucker on Green with Envy is some of his best on the album.
Zachary Moore
Di Gyan Go - Rine Hard
Wyatt Davis
Did you make this?
Liam Hernandez
been listening to a lot of sonny rollins a la the bridge and standard sonny rollins and sonny meets hawk. also late trane, stellar regions, live in japan, and david s ware, go see the world, live in the world. pic related too
Caleb White
not mcphee poster but just wanted to say thats a good album, definitely not the bets of the 2000s tho. it is about a 7.5, aka a generic free jazz album.
Matthew Gutierrez
live in italy. has to be rouse, orr, dunlop.
Benjamin Thomas
What do you think is the best of the 2000's?
Samuel Reyes
I did, anything you think I should change?
Ryder Evans
The design is nice but I'd choose mode for joe or inner urge for Joe Henderson records
Easton Gonzalez
oh god man i dont know, i have a few favorites, paul motian live at the village vangaurd vol. 1-3, anything by masabumi kikuchi really, and stuff like that but id what the best mainstream release was.
Jonathan Howard
adding on to the list, matthew shipp pastoral composure, vietnam: reflections by billy bang. again this is just kinda my favorite shit from the decade. other dimensions in music time is of the essence is beyond time. most of these are kinda free kinda not.
Kayden Long
Thanks, I had a hard time choosing a record for Joe Henderson. Personally for me Our Thing is my favourite of his. But that doesn't mean I don't like Mode for Joe or Inner Urge.
Nicholas Hughes
>other dimensions in music time is of the essence is beyond time wat
Jeremiah Thompson
Rosenberg Trio. I saw Stochelo Rosenberg live - he's really something else. His guitar just sings. If you have the chance to see him live, go for it. youtu.be/neibvJHm55Y
Other Dimensions in Music- Time is of the Essence is Beyond Time
its a record with william parker, matt shipp, roy campbell jr, rashid bakr, and daniel carter. its good, listen to it.
Jacob Cook
fuck your heeb jazz. im so sick of this modern klesmer bullshit, it all sounds terrible and the concept doesnt hold up.
David Torres
Jesus what a stupid name for an album
David Sullivan
well, listen to it. theyre fuckin out but theyre realy killin
Cooper Wood
What are you even talking about? Recommend something good then.
Zachary Foster
Maybe. I like Matt Shipp but I never really understood the hype for William Parker
Nathaniel Fisher
Hello! Listening to Karl Berger's Transit with Dave Holland and Ed Blackwell. Hella groovy piano/vibraphone led bost-bop trio; upping it to mega right now because it took forever to slsk and I'll post it because it deserves to be heard.
Might do another Coltrane review after this, next up is Transition.
Nicholas Jenkins
pat metheny bright size life, its on youtube
Nathaniel James
parkers soloing is definitely interesting but its not my favorite but he sets up a really deep groove and is good at making free stuff bounce, check out his first duo album with hamid drake
Xavier Taylor
Dave Holland Quintet- Extended Play Live at Birdland and Alex Sipiagin- Destinations Unknown
Christopher Murphy
Here it is for those interested.
Isaiah Bailey
It's too bad Dave Holland has stopped doing much freeish type stuff. He's an amazing soloist but most of his recent releases haven't been very good.
Matthew Brown
The dude is 70, you can't blame him too much for not having the same youthful vigour he once brought forward.
Grayson Bailey
I believe he'a perfectly capable. Seems like right now he's just more interested in fusiony shit.
But imagine if he made a nice post-bop/free album with Craig Taborn, Antonio Sanchez, and Chris Potter
Christian Clark
The upright bass is a very involved instrument, and playing fast and free requires a considerable amount of endurance and precision. Perhaps he know his limits? I'd love to see it as well, but the human body does deteriorate with age, and he's getting quite old.
Dominic Martinez
I used to play upright and I've seen him live within the past two years. He's definitely got it in him.
Jose Cruz
Nice man, I'll take your word for it then, I would love to see him live.
Anybody else think that most current jazz is kind of ruined by technology? Jazz was way better when they just had a few mics and 1 or 2 days in the studio.
Lincoln Torres
Kind of a jazz novice but I love this album (pic related). I enjoyed the mediterranean flavor that popped up in some moments on the album and I was wondering what style of jazz that would be considered or if there were more examples of this. Thanks.
Kevin Reyes
They're not bad, but not my favorite either. As far as jazz artists who've had some mainstream success, they're better than certain other artists.
Adrian Hall
It's a pretty unique album but you might like The Dynamic Sound Patterns of the Rod Levitt Orchestra
Brandon Rivera
Yeah I think I know what you're talking about. I think there's a lot of overproduction going on right now and I think it usually makes the music weaker.
Look into the Criss Cross label. They record everything in one session with great, minimal production. Makes for great, spontaneous conditions much like classic Blue Note stuff.
