Jazz discussion general.

why is Al Haig so underrated?

never heard of him, just fell in love. I get a fearless vibe from his playing, no playing safe.
bump from the edge of death

Been enjoying the Wadada Leo Smith & Vijay Iyer's A Cosmic Rhythm With Each Stroke from this year. Fantastic jazz release from this year. Also ended up finally giving Smith's monster Ten Freedom Summers a listen, too as a result. Both fantastic.

Listen to early no wave stuff particularly if James Chance is involved.
Or Bohren and der Club Of Gore's album Black Earth (though it leans closer to Lustmordy dark ambient than industrial)

One of the best bebop pianists ever. Definitely up there with Powell and maybe even Monk
more like this? the more aggressive parts are fantastic, and i love how it feels so stuffed with different ideas.
Reminder to come check out the /BLINDFOLD TEST/ threads every Friday and Saturday.

This week's theme is Wayne Shorter tunes.

A lot of Alice Coltrane's output reminds me of the busy, spiritual vibe of this album especially Universal Consciousness

>A Cosmic Rhythm With Each Stroke
Know of anything else with a suspenseful atmosphere? Only things I can really think of are Bitches Brew and the Twin Peaks soundtrack.

>Well-known features of Down Beat magazine include [...] its famous "Blindfold Test" column, in a which a musician listens to records by other artists, tries to guess who they are, and rates them using the 5-star maximum rating system.
Basically, you listen to a playlist stripped of all metadata and make guesses about the players, give your thoughts on the tracks... and later, the tracklist is revealed.

You should honestly just go record a busy motorway and put a fucktonne of distortion on it. It'll probably have the same effect as what you're looking for.

Bumping for this. Been away from the threads for a few weeks and I'm planning on getting back into them.

So it's all Wayne Shorter? It doesn't make it very fun for guessing.

Wayne Shorter compositions. Guess the musician playing it.

Anybody listen to the new Kenny Barron Trio album? Bud Like and In the Slow Lane are pretty great
