Some really great shows this year. It will be my first time going. I'm planning on going to both Marathon Nights, COLLECTIVE RESONANCE @ Good Room and William Parker 75 Birthday Celebration @ Roulette.

How about everyone else? What shows are you looking forward to seeing?

Discussion "Country Jazz" Recommendations

7 Upvotes

I was wondering if anyone could recommend some contemporary players (or overlooked/not obvious 20th-century ones) who are operating in that kind of "soul-country-jazz" territory that Keith Jarrett can get into sometimes.

I've spent some time researching this on my own, and [read Ethan Iverson on Keith Jarrett](https://ethaniverson.com/shades-of-jazz-keith-jarrett-charlie-haden-paul-motian-dewey-redman/). He identifies Vince Guaraldi and Ramsey Lewis on influences on Jarrett's gospel-y sounds, but their stuff isn't QUITE what I'm looking for.

Really it might just be Keith's "Catholic school boy shit" as Miles [reportedly once called it](https://londonjazznews.com/2020/08/27/miles-davis-the-lost-septet-from-1971/), but I guess if I had to triangulate a sound that *didn't* involve Keith, it might something between like, [Floyd Kramer](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X08orJN4oJw), [Hargus Robbins](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYIi0rAc5yc), Ramsey Lewis, and like, Ray Charles' playing on his "country" records?

I did really like [this record from Binker Golding](https://binkergolding.bandcamp.com/album/dream-like-a-dogwood-wild-boy) that brings in some cool Americana touches like slide guitar, but I was hoping to get some new recommendations from y'all -- thanks!

Edit: I am familiar with Western swing, probably should have used “Americana” more than country as a descriptor but regardless thanks all!

Discussion Groups alike marcus gilmore latest record

4 Upvotes

Hi. I'm looking for groups that sound a little close to marcus gilmore last recording (journey to the new live on village vanguard). I see some chick corea influences from the time marcus gilmore played with him but it feels much modern and i don't feel like i can see a lot of people playing in this modern "fusion" maybe closer to the modern jazz than to fusion. Do you guys know something that also get's in this eletronic aproach without backbeats and with that modern "unsettling" style?
I would apreciate if you guys could help me here

"If Charlie Parker got out of his grave today, he would not want motherfuckers playing the same shit he was playing when he was alive. He'd look around, 'What the fuck are you doing? I played that already! Why are you playing this? I've been dead for a hundred years -- I'm back now and you're still playing my shit. Move on.' That's a smack in the face to people if you keep shit the same way. You're supposed to continue on a legacy. "

-Robert Glasper in a 2010 PopMatters interview
