>>60973775
listen to Sun Ra - Sleeping Beauty
one of my all-time fave jazz albums
>>60973917
Appreciated
>>60973623
so you loved Bitches Brew and The Shape of Jazz to Come AND Point of Departure?? That's some quality taste
you need to try out Pharaoh Sanders - Karma AND my personal jazz album of all-time, Pharaoh Sanders - Village of the Pharaohs
also from Miles Davis you need to hear his first electric/fusion work on In a Silent Way, the quiety ambient counterpoint to Bitches Brew. Also, Live/Evil, Dark Magus, and even On the Corner are all worth a go
You may like some of Alice Coltrane's work. Universal Consciousness has some real cool free jazz shit next to synths and spiritual strings that have a hardcore middle eastern Islamic vibe
>>60973623
what are the red ones mean, you hate them? Those red are some of my favourite jazz albums.
>>60977410
do you regularly listen to noise or are you a masochist or what man
I can enjoy some Naked City, but by no means can i handle a full sitting. And similar with Machine Gun
>>60977410
ayy i see, you hate them.
>>60977421
I think they're fun and chaotic. Plus i like fast jazz.
what's your current fav

Pleb detected.
>>60978697
Yes, I'm a pleb for pointing out that Miles Davis and Charles Mingus are incredibly popular with plebs who don't listen to jazz.
>>60978665
I contributed as much as you did, retard. Ya'll pleb taste is the thread killer. If anyone in here knew anything about jazz there'd be more discussion than "Have you heard Bitches Brew? It reminded me of Alice Coltrane meets Charles Mingus"
Did anyone else catch this release? I mean it wasn't anything mind blowing but I am very much a sucker for cello and strings in jazz. Nice enough arrangements, mostly competent soloing.
>>60979702
>Miles Davis and Charles Mingus are incredibly popular with plebs who don't listen to jazz
also very popular with patricians who listen to a lot of jazz
just chill senpai, pleb jazz discussion beats no jazz discussion I'd say

>>60979790
yes, these patricians who list Pharaoh Sanders albums as their all-time favorites MUST appreciate Miles' contributions to jazz -- why else would they namedrop him?
Also, I tend to avoid most things with Mary's name attached since her tone usually irritates the hell out of me.

>>60979790
and have you heard this recording? some of the best string-based improvisation I have ever heard, and a rhythm section that fucking nails it.
>>60979952
yeah definitely, though I felt it was a bit too long. Certainly was more accessible (and an improvement) than the other Zorn Masada books I've explored.
>>60979948
well >>60977367 was telling the op, who just started in jazz, where to go next. He's certainly seems to be a poser but I wouldn't say he's wrong. OP likes bitches brew, maybe he'd like Alice Coltrane, OP likes Ornette Coleman and Andrew Hill, he'd probably like Pharoah Sanders. youre also probably right about halvorson, but I never really pay attention to guitar anyway
>>60973623
That Basie comp is shit, get the complete Decca set instead.
The first album by Clifford Brown/Max Roach is just as good as Study in Brown. If you like Sidewinder try some other pop jazz like Takin' Off by Herbie Hancock and Wahoo by Duke Pearson.
Listen to Saxophone Colossus. If you're not sure the first time, give it another chance.
Listen to some stuff by Grachan Moncur III and Bobby Hutcherson. Their early Blue Note dates.
Also Conference of the Birds
>>60973623
Most of that chart is essential listening so i'd recommend continuing to work through it because there's still a few on there you'd love. You may want to alternate with it's sister chart too because there are some pretty grievous omissions on that (no Thelonious Monk).
I don't know if you have a different comp for people like Charlie Parker, Bud Powell and Dizzy but they really should have been top of your list for people to listen to in the first place. Some of them do have better comps for them and if you're going for older artists, it's worth your time researching a little to see what's on certain compilations before you get them.
Also, I'd recommend you (and everyone else ITT for that matter) try out the blindfold threads. They're a good way to find and discuss music but more than that, they give you an interesting listening perspective and make you a better and more attentive listener to music in general.
This is my favourite jazz record by far. Can anyone rec me more like this? tight playing with a cool and fun atmosphere
>>60973623
More coltrane ( blue train, my favorite things )
More mingus ( blues & roots )
Niechech is also pretty good
>>60977988
>Mingus
>Davis
>Not among the most influential composers of their time, letting alone their great musical abilities
I understand your boredom but this is snobism

Erik Truffaz - Out of a Dream
I know this might be a hard request, but:
Do you guys know of more albums like Chet Baker Sings? I think it's so unique, his other albums don't really have the same feeling for me, the ones where he sings at least. He mixes jazz with standards and melodic vocal jazz really well, the song But Not For Me being my favorite.
Do you guys have albums that are similar? His discog is huge and the ones where he actually sings don't really give me the same vibe, at least that I'm aware of.
>>60983946
I'm not really sure which elements of it you think are unique.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bn_JFsPwUzE
might be of interest to you but I'm not really sure what exactly it is you're looking for. There are tonnes of vocal jazz albums that have very pretty melodies and rework standards. That's kind of the staple of the form.
>>60984060
wow that's great, thanks.
I guess I just find two different kinds of vocal jazz. There's Chet Baker on CBS, that song you just posted, earliest Tom Waits, and but then I get vocal jazz that just is kind of abrasive. I don't know. Maybe I should just look harder.
>>60984137
You should probably look into cool jazz in general then.
Most of it is like that: slow-mid tempo without a lot of the very busy bebop runs and with more of a focus on coherent melodic playing with a lot of importance placed on phrasing and tone.
Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong's collab albums are also all pretty fantastic.
