Today is bassist Sam Jones' birthday.
What's your favorite album of his as a leader or that he plays on?
>>60340468
Pleb choice here, but probably Somethin' Else
I've been listening to a whole ton of Sonny Murray and Cecil Taylor recently, but I also want to get into European free jazz (outside of Brontzmann and the other obvious ones)
Anyone got any recs?
:)
>>60340468
have to rep Clifford Jordan's Glass Bead Games here even though Bill Lee plays bass on most tracks as I think it's an under appreciated classic

>>60340515
I recommend not doing that because european free jazz is one of the most pleb kinds of jazz
>>60340515
But Somethin' Else is god tier
>>60341281
Is it really? Can you explain what actually makes it god-tier? Especially compared to some of the other albums released in the late 50's?
>>60341388
Sure is pleb in here
Kaoru Abe is the best free jazz saxophonist desu
>>60341582
You mean how nobody is able to answer my question except to call me meaningless names?
>>60340468
Haven't heard him as a leader. I just know him as a prolific Paul Chambers tier sideman who played on a bunch of great records.
Pic related is my favourite album I've heard him play on.
>>60341388
Somebody told him he was supposed to like it.
>>60341819
I legitimately enjoy the album, all I was saying was that it was a popular and relatively unexciting choice
:)

As well as other stuff people. Mentioned, Eric Harland, Buddy Rich and Tony Williams are all great drummers.
