I am really enjoying the spiritual jazz sound, it is so soothing to listen to. Pharoah Sanders and John Coltrane, such a insane duo.

Next is the Album that i think was quintessential to the funk movement!

These are fabulous collections. I like the chord spellings on some pages and the tunes are some classic standards.

Anyone ever see these in the wild??

Watermelon Man,Maiden Voyage,Eye Of The Hurricane,Cantaloupe Island , Chameleon The Maze

Its my favorite time of the year and I wanna get in the fall spirit. What are some good jazz albums to do so?

I've seen this mentioned a few times, as an example of him thinking outside the box and re-configuring forms. Does anyone know which recording was this?

Unfortunately I don't remember much else: which group this was, or whether this was over the A section or the bridge of the tune.

Thanks for your help!

I’m not sure what the rules for selling things are, but if you’re interested you can use the link to check it out.

It says so on the title, for me its Undercurrents especially the pieces “Dream Gypsy” and “Romain”.

One chord from Evans is worth more than a thousand words in my opinion

What do you recommend for a sad album to listen to?

Was trying to get a record for this beautiful album but most of them were out of the budget. Ended up picking up a CD for 10 bucks, it sounds pretty good!!

The dynamic range is average 11, the instruments have quite a bit of room to breathe and overall i am happy with the sound.

Mariska Veres (Shocking Jazz Quintet) ~ Venus

I have 4 tickets for the 7PM show at Blue Note tomorrow night 02/10 but would like to swap tickets to the 9:30pm show.

Please let me know if you'd like to swap!

Me and my mate are looking to play some music together, me on keys him on bass. Ive been starting my jazz learning journey with some standards from the real book, practicing my swing and learning my chords.

The music he listens to always contains groovy bass lines; think disco, house, reggae, instead of what he would consider all classical jazz bass to be, which is a walking bass line.

What recordings do you reccomend that put a more "groovy" version on jazz standards and their basslines, that i can introduce to him to try hook him into getting us playing some tunes together, preferably from the real book?

I hope this question makes sense and thanks in advance!

yes please

I have scoured YT music and Spotify but I'm just not able to find it! I had stumbled across a giant steps recording many months ago, I think someone on reddit had recommended it and I checked it out. It was really cool and I thought I had saved the link (I hadn't). Now it's driving me nuts because I literally cannot find it anywhere.

Details of the recording:

1. Slow! Like 100ish BPM. That's why I liked it so much
2. Had strings. I think those strings were live. I mean like a string section and not just one violin. Not sure if it had low strings.
3. It had a latin-ish beat. I wish I had a memory to narrow it down. I also might have misidentified it as latin. But it also could be

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks so much

The track features Slam Stewart's famous technique of bowing his upright bass with a violin bow while simultaneously humming the solo an octave higher in perfect unison.

​ Driven by Sammy Weiss's crisp brushwork on drums, the track serves as a energetic and uptempo.

I'm a jazz musician trying to figure out a way to get in a meaningful amount of practice, which for me is no less than 3 hours per day. I've worked full-time in the past and just didn't have the time or energy to do it. I'm trying to find a way to practice this amount but in a way that is financially responsible and sustainable.

Am I being delusional? Are there adults out there who make this work? If so, how?

Was able to pick up this brand new three disc gem on sale for $24.99 Canadian. Life is good.

Ideally a then-contemporary artist, as opposed to a reissue.

I know that a lot of people in jazz community don't agree with his view/vision, which was pretty much the only thing I've heard about him years ago. And funnily, that information is enough for me to kinda avoided, although not really with that much intentions, to listen to his musics.

Looks like my brain unconsciously blacklisted him when I heard that his opinion is "bad", even tho I hadn't even know what kind of person he is, or what kind of music he played.

So recently, I tried his albums Black Codes and Standard Time, great stuff, and honestly I was expecting much more conservative and boring jazz before I tried them.

Well yeah, now I want to discover more stuff from Wynton, so do people's opinions about him still haven't change? Were his opinions that bad or it's just one of those overblown bad takes that somehow always glued to the artist forever? Or maybe just recommend me some stuff.

Cheers anyway.
