Sabotage and Celebration is really good too if you haven't heard that one.

Deleted previous/reposting because I forgot that Braxton's compositions technically count as jazz.

>80s
Anthony Davis - Variations In Dreamtime

>90s
Sonny Sharrock - Ask The Ages

>00s
Electric Masada - At The Mountains Of Madness

>10s
Anthony Braxton - 3 Compositions (EEMHM) 2011

My bias is the opposite of that other user, I like busy, layered arrangements.

Is Antonio Sanchez the best modern jazz drummer or is there someone better?

Jazz is mostly shit. At first it was simple pop music. Easily digestible for the masses. Over time, the music became more complex, this is respectable, or would be. The music became an excuse for players to show off their skills with their instrument. This takes some of the listen-ability out of the music. Melody is abandoned in order to make way for skill. This concept was then taken further with Kind of Blue. At this point, expression of skill was the main focus, so much so that traditional chords were removed in favour of quartal chords allowing for modal playing. This of course removed a great deal of emotion from the music that could have been expressed with traditional methods. From this point on Jazz abandoned both melody and harmony. This would reach its nadir with Ornette Coleman, who thought to remove chords all together. Thus allowing him to be free of keys and show off his skills as he pleased. There is now little music to even enjoy, melody, harmony and texture have now been removed. Unless one is a saxophone player, there is nothing to appreciate here. What is left to the listener is the wailing on his instrument that only a savant of that instrument may understand, not as musically good, but as technically good. Jazz has very much continued in this state to this day.

Do you like Grimes?

>This of course removed a great deal of emotion from the music that could have been expressed with traditional methods.
How?

>From this point on Jazz abandoned both melody and harmony. This would reach its nadir with Ornette Coleman
Except that Ornette Coleman's abandoning of set harmony (though not a complete abandoning of harmony as you suggest) allowed him to focus only on melody.

>melody, harmony, and texture have now been removed
none of that is true

>This concept was then taken further with Kind of Blue. At this point, expression of skill was the main focus,
Have you even listened to Kind of Blue. Miles Davis's solos are not technically complex or show-offy at all.

>modal playing was created so people could be more technical
lolwut

cryptology and science friction haven't gotten through to me yet, the escreet in fact is a very remarkable excreet
know what I miss these days? modern jazz love ballads

Most jazz albums that aren't free jazz albums usually have at least one ballad. Maybe not necessarily a jazz ballad...

Can I get some more like this?

>you should listen to ornette coleman, albert ayler, don cherry, cecil taylor and andrew hill before getting into peter brötzmann

What does /jazz/ think about Medeski, Martin, & Wood?

youtube.com/watch?v=mjUkiCffyX0

Yes or Eric Harland, but Harland Sanchez makes much better music.

Going by favorites and only taking into account non rock rooted jazz?
