Hancock would be Fat Albert
Going to be listening to A LOT of Shorter albums soon.

you kind of have bad taste in jazz Herbieguy

>you kind of have bad taste in jazz Herbieguy
Shit I hate my favorite albums now thanks for the wake up call.

Keep listening to jazz and you'll get it someday guy

Or more likely I'll keep enjoying 'bad jazz' whether or not some other guy on Sup Forums likes it.

>listen to some live album years ago
>was the best thing I've ever heard
>was years ago and still haven't found it again
JUST

we'll see. it would be kinda sad if your tastes never change at all though.

Slightly, sure. That's understandable.
But if I made a 180 every time someone on Sup Forums said I'd have bad taste I'd have no music left to like.

Yeah but it would also be sad if you clung desperately to your old tastes just because some anonymous stranger tried to tell you something else was better and you just can't let him be right.

That's why I said you'll get it someday. Not because someone on Sup Forums told you to. Just because you get it.

>just because some anonymous stranger tried to tell you something else was better and you just can't let him be right.
But you didn't.
You just said "you have bad taste in jazz."
Which is what most people on here do.
And I'm not going to change strictly on that basis.

yeah

...

>Art Blakey
Mosaic
>Duke
Ellington Uptown
>Art Tatum
I always just listened to random tracks

I enjoyed that album.
Next up is George Duke.

Wow I butchered that track title. My bad.

Yeah I told you to leave straight life on there

You were in fact right. Good choice.
Now onto Mr.Duke

Eastern Sounds by Yusef Lateef

Time to get my contrarian brownie points for the day.
It's like a worse version of a Thundercat album.

I didn't hear this yet but the other stuff I've heard from GoGo Penguin was pretty bad

>Monk
Brilliant Corners
>Coltrane
Sun Ship / A Love Supreme
>Mingus
Ah Um
>Davis
Plugged Nickel
>Hancock
Mwandishi
>Shorter
Speak No Evil

Though I'm bad with best or favorites.

i havent listened to this record for a while but i remember thinking it was a little lack luster. it was kinda just too moody for me.

i normally like shit thats either super swingin or relatively modern. or just banging idk its hard to describe

just so you know you dont refer to ALL jazz musicians by their last name. in fact you listed the 3 that are most commonly referred to by their first names lol

I just figured it was something jazz guys do.
I organize my backlogs by first name anyway.

Check out Brad Mehldau - Art of the Trio. Great cuts on that record.

Also I just heard this super banging song on the radio called Uncle Bob by Steps (Ahead) which is a jazz fusion group with Michael Brecker in it.

Check out Ugetsu (or Fantasy in D). The Art Blakey and the Eastern Rebellion recordings are both really fucking cool in their own respects

It's not necessarily wrong it just feels weird when I read "Davis" or "Hancock" because I'm so used to referring to them as Miles and Herbie when I talk about them with my friends

monk - live with Coltrane
coltrane - my favorite thing, not his best but is my most listened of his
Mingus - children hear music
davis - all of it obviously
Hancock - can go fuck himself but I guess dolphin dance alright
shorter - haven't listened to enough, saw him live tho wow

threadly reminder that bill Evans is the ultimate exponent of French impressionism, that Lennie Tristano finished "jazz as played on the piano", and that art pepper is the man Paul Desmond wished the gods had seen fit to make him such as.

tell me why jazz harmony is such a whore for root movements in 5ths or otherwise cyclical divergences from such progressive movements, a la dim/aug, as opposed to the more sophistical, thoroughgoing compositional root movements of the more melodically inclined white europeans? is it because, deep down, jazz is music for monkeys by monkeys?

How about that Mark Turner guy?

>Hancock - can go fuck himself
Disregarded.
