Do you think coltrane would have ended up sounding like Albert ayler or pharoe sanders?
My favorite things - coltrane
eastern sounds - yusef lateef
trio 65 - bill evans
scenery - ryo fukui
diane - chet baker
>Lists off 5 from the rym top 200 jazz album list
>>64061591
He basically sounded like Pharoah Sanders before Pharoah Sanders.
Albert Ayler is just completely different. Like Pharoah was different enough, but there is hardly any comparison between Trane and Ayler. Also Pharaoh>>>>>>Archie, just sayin'
>>64061407
>Alice Coltrane
man i never really took her seriously until i heard this song the other day https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUMuDWDVd20. Immediately went and downloaded all of her stuff.

Chris Potter - Sundiata
Pepper Adams - Encounter
Paul Motian - Reincarnation of a Love Bird
where do I start with jazz?
The Topography of the Lungs
The New Wave of Dutch Heavy Jazz

Memphis Underground
Ask The Ages
Journey in Satchidananda
charlie haden - liberation music orchestra
charles gayle - repent
magnolia acoustic quartet - boozer
art blakey and the jazz messengers - moanin'
keith jarrett - the koln concert
eh, fiteme
>>64063793
People say to start with Kind of Blue. My suggestion is to listen to each of the player's solo on that record intently. See which player you resonate with the most and explore their recorded material and gain more curiosity from there. Look at their sidemen and their discography.
John Coltrane - A Love Supreme
Bill Evans - Waltz For Debby
Eric Dolphy - Far Cry
Duke Ellington - Live At Newport 1956
Miles Davis - Tribute to Jack Johnson
The list could go on.
At the moment:
Charles Mingus Presents Charles Mingus
Sam Rivers - Contours
Maiden Voyage
Sonny Rollins - Live at the Village Vanguard
Giant Steps
>>64061279
>100 years of music
>more variety than rock
>pick 5
some kind of blue. >mfw people hated on some kind of blue because it's popular
Evan Parker - Topography of the Lungs
George Lewis - Chicago Slow Dance
Paul Bley - Improvisie
Derek Bailey - Solo Guitar
Art Ensemble of Chicago - People in Sorrow
Kenny Dorham - Quiet Kenny
Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers- At The Cafe Bohemia, Vol.2
Count Basie- Straight Ahead
Ella Fitzgerald- Ella and Louis
Poncho Sanchez- Poncho at Montreux
>>64065517
Apart from Solo Guitar, what are some other good Bailey's albums in your opinion? I only listened to Pieces for Guitar and it's pretty comfy.
"Let My Children Hear Music" by Charles Mingus might be the greatest album I've ever heard in any genre.
For the classics, Ornette Coleman's "The Shape of Jazz to Come" is the way to go
I was hoping this thread would have more good recommendations - /mu/ is disappointingly entry level with jazz
Cecil Taylor - Silent Tongues
Grant Green - Idle Moments
Stan Kenton - City of Glass
Carla Bley - Fleur Carnivore
Andrew Hill - Compulsion!!!!!
recs always welcome
>>64063462
Free for All is so great
>>64067177
oh, the other thing I should recommend is Django Reinhardt,who's pretty much the master
Sleeping Beauty - Sun Ra
Lanquidity - Sun Ra
Supersonic Jazz - Sun Ra
Cosmos - Sun Ra
Atlantis -Sun Ra
Night of the Purple Moon - Sun Ra
Magic City - Sun Ra
Sun Ra - God Is More Than Love Can Ever Be
Seriously, Sun Ra, like the Scriptures, can be everything for everyone.
>>64067075
Honestly, Solo Guitar is by far the best Bailey relase, but Aida is also worth checking.
Not strictly Bailey, but there's an improvisation group named "Company" which Bailey formed part of (and as far as I know he also was the improvising leader of), I'd recommend you their 1976 relase, Company 1. And if you branch out a little to relases where Bailey is not the leader but an improsier, I would also strongly recommend Evan Parker's The Topography of the Lungs, and Spontaneous Music Ensemble's “So, what do you think” and Karyobin, but to a lesser extent.
>>64067958
Have you listened to When Angels Speak of Love? Severly underrated Sun Ra, honestly.
>>64067180
I remember you mentioning you hadn't listened to that much of Cecil Taylor's outpot, maybe you would enjoy his 1978 relase "3 Phasis"
>>64067177
I can try to recommend you something if you post more albums you enjoy.
>>64067991
>Have you listened to When Angels Speak of Love?
Not yet. I will listen to it right now. I listen to Sun Ra everyday but I think I'm still missing 50% of his output. It's amazing how, even after listening to dozens of his albums, he still manages to surprise me.
Wayne Shorter - Night Dreamer
Mal Waldron - The Quest
Miles Davis - Sketches of Spain
Charles Mingus - The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady (or Mingus at Antibes)
Eric Dolphy - Outward Bound
Probably
>>64061279
This one
Nigerian Marketplace
The Inner Moutain Flame
Blues & Roots
le Moanin'
Bonus pick : Sunset Mission
John Coltrane - A Love Supreme
Charles Mingus - The Black Saint and The Sinner Lady
Miles Davis - In A Silent Way
Bill Evans - The Complete Live at the Village Vanguard 1961
I could easily pick those four as favorites. Getting a fifth is a little harder, though. Nothing immediately jumps out at me. If I had to pick another, it'd probably be another Coltrane or Mingus album. Maybe Monk's Dream. Fuck. I dunno. It just depends on my mood.
>>64062348
>Spectrum - Billy Cobham
Rad album. If you're into fusion and you haven't heard Stanley Clarke's School Days, you should check it out.
>>64067180
>Grant Green - Idle Moments
I hadn't listened to any of the albums on your list, Boku, but you generally have pretty good taste in music, so I picked this one at random. I'm loving it so far.
>>64061279
Miles Davis - Bitches Brew, and In A Silent Way
Alice Coltrane - Ptah the El Daoud
Charles Mingus - Let My Children Hear Music
Pharoah Sanders - Karma
http://scaruffi.com/jazz/best100.html
the list goes on...
I really like the birth of cool, but the list does go on
Any good free jazz recs?
whatever are the five shortest ones.
>>64061279
chick corea - return to forever
michael brecker - wide angles
eddie daniels - breakthrough
thelonious monk - monk's dream
bix beiderbecke - anything
>>64068982
I recommend you these three albums:
>Modern Jazz Quartet - Django
One of the most acclaimed Cool Jazz albums.
>Gerry Mulligan - Gerry Mulligan Quartet
He played the saxophone for Davis, and if my memory dosen't fail me, he even played on Birth of the Cool.
>Bill Evans - Explorations
Another member of the Davis' group, who also played Cool Jazz.
>>64068230
If you enjoyed the singing on Karma and would like more of it in shorter and more conventional songs while sitll being jazz, I would recommend Leon Thomas' Spirits Known and Unknown.
And you defintelyshould check Alice Coltrane's Journey in Satchidananda and Miles Davis' Big Fun if you haven't yet, I think you may like them as well.
>>64068183
If you enjoy In a Silent Way, you should also try to listen to ECM Jazz.
Try Terje Rypdal - Descendre if you want to go more abstract and ethereal, Or Keith Jarrett's Survivors' Suite and Köln Concert to get an idea of what ECM Jazz usually is.
>>64069113
Sure, what kind of Free Jazz are you looking for?
I'm huge into jazz myself. Free jazz, nu-jazz, the list goes on...
>>64069158
Some fucked up shit with no structure that still sounds good. Kaoru Abe-like, and the list goes on...
>>64069173
Wow nice meme faggot
>>64063793
look for the most obscure shit you can find on rym then act pretentious about it. don't listen to miles or coltrane
>>64069212
>Kaoru Abe
You may like Masayuki Takayanagi's Action Direct: Three Improvised Variations on a Theme of Qadhafi; he used to duet with him
>fucked up shit with no structure
Free Improvisation seems worth your time, a good place to start is Derek Bailey's Solo Guitar, not sure if you are looking for noisy records, but Side A of solo guitar surely is disjointed. If you enjoy it, you might as well check what I recommend about Bailey in this post >>64067991 which usually is more noisy but still disjointed.
But if instead, you are searchig for a large group of instruments yelling at you, you might enjoy:
>London Jazz Composers' Orchestra - Ode
>Sam Rivers - Crystals
And if you want [Full Power Total Destruction] you could try Alan Silva's Luna Surface; sonically intense wall of noise free jazz, it's enjoyable, but it can be exhausting for 30 minutes.
Not sure if that's what you were searching for, though.
>>64069401
Thanks, now the complete opposite, what are in your opinion some god-tier cool jazz albums? Might need those after listening to those noise-jazz albums.

3. Louis Armstrong - Potato Head Blues / Put 'Em Down Blues
>>64069472
No problem. I'll mention them from favorites to lesser favorites.
My favorite Cool Jazz album is hard to pick, probably a tie between Lennie Tristano's The New Tristano and Stan Getz' Focus. Birth of the Cool by Miles Davis is an essensial listen on the genre, but I honestly prefer Bill Evan's and Gerry Mulligan's Solo output (Explorations, and Quartet, respectively).
The other essensial Cool Jazz albums I recommend are Django and Fontessa by the Modern Jazz Quartet and Time Out by Dave Brubeck.
Also, to anyone I recommended things in this thread, I would appreciate to hear your opnion on those records, whenever you listen to them.
>>64069614
Already listened to Evans and Mulligan's stuff, and also to Time Out by Brubeck... To be quite honest I was expecting more by Brubeck, the only song I could enjoy was Take Five. I know, it's probably his most famous song, but I found the record the be boring if compared to other stuff. Thanks for the recs btw.
>>64069614
Ever listened to pic related? Would you rec it?
>>64069647
>I was expecting more by Brubeck, the only song I could enjoy was Take Five.
Understandable, Take Five and Blue Rondo are the standout tracks, but I still found the rest of the album to be solid.
>>64069695
Actually, I was thinking about this record some days ago. I only listened to it once around a year ago and had no strong feelings on it, but if I remember properly, it had an intense atmosphere.
I'm listening to it right now, I'll try to give a proper opinion once I'm finished.
>>64069832
Listening to Bailey's solo guitar.
>>64069614
>I honestly prefer Bill Evan's and Gerry Mulligan's Solo output
I feel like Bill Evans really figured out the heart of it. He never did anything that was truly revolutionary, but his precision and consistency was unmatched. If you listen all the way through the Complete Live at the Village Vanguard, it's crazy how effortless it is for him.
>>64069695
Just finished listening to it, the album seems to present different ideas, but my favorites are the ones at Excursion, which I think remain unmatched on the rest of the album and even present a Spectral Music aura. And I think the rest of the album is a good example of ECM Jazz. So yes, I would recommend it.
And I wonder if you could recommend me a jazz album wtih a similar atmosphere to Excursion, it almost feels like Spectral Music played by a Jazz band.
>>64070390
Doom Jazz might be what you're looking for, try it.

>>64063136
Sorry, but I agree with him. Seeing Moanin' on a top 5 list triggers me.
>>64070540
Np, lemme know what you think. To be honest, that's the only Doom Jazz record I have listened to, but it's quite enjoyable and kinda sets that "creepy" atmosphere.
>>64063793
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3sx07eOVj1o
>>64070548
It's a good record though. Who cares if it's a basic list? Some of us are new to jazz and others just enjoy those records, I bet even the experts on jazz wouldn't mind putting Davis, Coltrane or Mingus on their top 5.
>>64070588
It's a good record but it's a boring one. People see the bold on RYM and skip everything else Art Blakey & the Jazz Messengers have done before it. That's my only frustration with it, really. Their '56 s/t is so much more interesting to me.
>>64070619
I agree to a certain extent, but look at it this way: some people listen to so much music they really don't have the time to dig Jazz. I am new to Jazz myself, and I barely have time to finish three records a day, digging entire discographies would take too much time, especially if you consider that I have other interests, hobbies and genres I like.
In order
1. Miles Davis- Bitches Brew
2. Thelonious Monk- Brilliant Corners
3. A Love Supreme
4. Dave Brubeck Quartet- Time Out
5. Eric Dolphy- Out To Lunch!
