Jazz

^ Not what I immediately think of when I think "Jazz", but I guess that's kinda the point of jazz music - taking conventions and traditions and adding a personal flair to it (but with Madlib I guess that goes without saying). I dig it - I'll definitely check out the whole album. Fo' sho'
 
I'll be damned if I let this slip off the first page.

Love me some Grant Green.

Killer tune!! Also one of my all time favourites.


Max, you mention Madlib but not Guru's Jazzamataz stuff. Probably just an oversight but if not, make sure you track down that first volume of the Jazzamataz series - it's great.

Jazzmatazz is in my collection. Not one of faves. Give me Mushroom Jazz Vol 1 instead. Whatchu know bout that?

The Mark Farina releases? Haven't listened to any but I will give Vol. 1 a try.

Let me know what you think.

In fact, everyone reading this post should download Mushroom Jazz Vol. 1. Even you, GeneralGrunge. I would mention Bill but he's 2crunchy4jazz.




So here's Red Clay live, featuring (get this)

Freddie Hubbard - trumpet
Stanley Turrentine - tenor saxophone
Johnny "Hammond" Smith - organ/electric piano
George Benson - guitar
Ron Carter - bass
Billy Cobham - drums

If you didn't just cum your little panties get the fuck out of this thread.

so the question is:

50's Miles, 60's Miles, or 70's Miles?

listening to some Miles at the fillmore, March 7th 1970, right now... and this stuff is so delightfully non-musical that it makes a full revolution back around to hyper-musical. i dig it intensely, but i can see how some people just wouldn't get it, or might even despise it.

like for example, he just jammed for like 10 minutes on a sort of anti-mode where every note was totally dissonant, but the phrasing was timed and resolved in such a way that it ended up sounding very coherent, but totally mad at the same time. there's deep genius in his stuff from the 70's, but its absolutely labyrinthine and definitely less accessible than his earlier work.
 
Loving me some Tony Williams Lifetime, Believe It with some of my favorite Allan Holdsworth guitar work.

Let's see, March Jazz in the player. Early Mingus, Mingus Three. Mingus Changes (One and Two). Really, anything Don Pullen George Adams kicks ass. Speaking of Pullen I've have the African Brazillian Connection and Kele Mou Bana out of storage. I like playing guitar to that at times.

I like going through the Miles years too. From 58 I stopped at In A Silent Way. I love how Miles plays 4 notes after not playing a note and brings the whole 10 minutes before and 10 minutes after together. Jack Johnson has been out as well as Agartha. (I am still trying to understand Petes Cosey's guitar playing. I still don't get it but hope to but for now can't really take it)

Kenny Burrell Sunup to Sundown was cranked out recently. I also like his recordings of For Charlie Christian and Benny Goodman.

Coltrane Ole has been listened to in March. Zoot Sim's and the Gershwin Brothers. Again, anything Oscar Peterson spins my head. I remember a Ray Brown interview talking about what it was like to follow Oscar Peterson on his bass and Oscar just taking off and flying off the handle. I also have a CD (The More I See You) after Oscar Peterson had his stroke and he played with one hand. Sounds like he is playing with 4 hands! Wow.

Wish by Joshua Redman (Pat Metheny on guitar) is pretty cool too. A little newer although 21 years old already.

So many Jazz records and CD's in storage that I just pulled out after some time. Jazz, f*ck yeah!! I remember the Jazz Festivals at Waterloo Village in Standhope NJ some years back. I got to stand next to some cool legends and watch them play.

Love most of Miles output. All of it. First great quintet, second great quintet. Prestige, Columbia, Adderley Coltrane Bill Evans. You can build a great jazz collection going Six Degrees of Miles Davis. But for me it's 70's Miles all the way (actually In a Silent Way forward.) Jack Johnson, On the Corner, Get Up With It, Big Fun and my favorites: Dark Magus, Pangaea and Agharta. For sheer agression, angst, dark dark grooves, it can't be beat. Totally bent my ears and affected how I perceive music.
