why is zorn always dressed like a goddamn ragamuffin
>>65679585
Jewish "fashion" "sense"
>>65679491
That's the right choice, though.
Since were talking about drummers, my favorite Album by Max Roach is Percussion Bitter Sweet.
My favorite drummer is Han Bennink, The Topography of the Lungs, Berlin Live '71, Machine Gun, Globe Unity Orchestra, Improvisie, his Solo albums... man's a beast.
>>65679585
Cause he's too cool for academia maaaannn
>>65679628
Fucking phenomenal album, Han bennink is absurd on that
Here's a recent fav of mine
My favorite Chet Baker record from the little I've heard. Also Ellington's 70s output is pretty great (New Orleans suite and the Afro-Eurasian eclipse), though I don't have a favorite record of his.
>>65679491
Pretty good, both volumes of it. Free for all is still my favorite though.
>>65679668
Nice record, check out live at birdland.
A Tribute to Jack Johnson is my favourite Miles Davis album.
Reminder to participate in the weekly /BLINDFOLD TEST/ threads if you like listening to and/or discussing jazz. It's a fun way to discover new jazz and discuss it with other jazz fans.
We all listen to the playlist of mystery tracks, write down our thoughts, criticisms, evaluations, and or guesses about the music and artists, then post them in Friday's thread.

Great taste. Destination Out is my favorite jazz album of all time.
>>65682012
rockist trash
>>65682012
It sounds nice.
Guys, I've only listened to pic related and I really like it. What other Monk's records do you recommend?
>>65682640
I consider Misterioso his best.
>>65682640
>>65682791
Both of these are great but my favorite is Alone in SF.
Also, if you are just getting into Monk, make sure to watch some of his live performances where he spaces out and shit.
>>65682855
Post some Monk live performances.
I love it when my jazz station plays these long (for radio standards) pieces

I love how he seems nervous and chill at the same time.
He might (and will) stand up, leave the piano and stare at infinity for how long as he pleases, then sit down and start making something genius.
Gotta love that nigger
recs for modern jazz pianists please
Sketches of Spain > In a Silent Way > Kind of Blue > Bitches Brew > On the Corner > Filles de Kilimanjaro > everything else

lol I bet you never even listened to any of the second quintet albums
>>65685617
>literally putting Miles Davis Starter Pack as your taste
>>65685716
then what's the best Miles Davis album
>>65685806
Nefertiti and Miles Smiles are both better than any of the ones that you listed
>>65685806
Honestly I think my favourite Davis album is one of the ones you named, but the fact you grouped the rest into "everything else" shows how under qualified you are to share your bullshit opinions.
>>65685896
no they're not. Miles Smiles is probably mu next favorite, though
>>65685897
ok go ahead and type out every Miles Davis album in order of quality, I'll check back later
>>65685806
someday my prince
>>65685617
>underrating his prestige albums
newb.
>>65680142
This album is one of My Favorite Things
>>65685935
>ok go ahead and type out every Miles Davis album in order of quality, I'll check back later
Trying to rank Miles' albums is a dickhead's endeavour anyway...
>>65686868
so no opinion is correct, just vague appreciation for albums you think I haven't listened to
>>65680142
This live version is way better tb h

Hey guys, I don't know really a lot of jazz, but I want to get into it. So far I know I like some free jazz like Sunny Murray, Last Exit, Peter Brötzmann, but also I like John Coltrane and Miles Davis, some essentials you guys would recommend?
hey /jazz/, I didn't have time to do it earlier but if you're near Paris in the next days there is some jazz shows going on. it's outdoor, it's raining, but it's for free

Orrin Evans- I love his playing for how imaginative it is. No matter what project he is a part of he finds some way to move the whole band in an interesting direction. He plays with a lot of humor (something a lot of other modern pianists seem to lack) and his playing always seems to challenge the rest of the group (in a good way).
Craig Taborn- I think what I really like about Taborn's playing is how he uses color. He obviously draws influence from people like Cecil Taylor and Andrew Hill, but nobody else voices their chords quite like Taborn. I think he brings a unique and recognizable sound to whatever group he plays with.
Dave Kikoski- Dave's an incredible soloist and plays with ridiculous technique that draws on all of jazz piano history but he's really special for his skill as an accompanist. When he's comping behind a solo he's always so actively involved in what they're playing and he always pushes the solo to a new level.
Fred Hersch- He's another master who brings a lot of history to his playing. I think he's probably the top of the game when it comes to playing solo piano. He knows how to use the piano to really "orchestrate" the music and I think that also really shines through when he plays with ensembles. He's got unbelievable technique but he also knows how to use restraint and let simplicity come first.
Luis Perdomo- He's Venezuelan and grew up playing Latin music and classical, but he's also incredible at straight-ahead jazz. What really impresses me about him is his precision and infallible sense of time, even while playing very complicated poly-rhythmic stuff. He can also play a beautiful ballad.
Honorary mentions to: David Virelles, John Escreet, and George Colligan.
