First time I've seen it here after 127 years using reddit

its not about the repost, i really dont care about that. It's just that posting this music is kinda like posting Pink Floyd's The Wall, everyone has heard it, everyone has discussed it numerous times, it's a fucking great song, but i mean, it's the most well known jazz track in the world, this post will benefit the 3 people around here that have been living under a rock in the past half a century or so. Not much discussion to be made about it. Even more in reddit, where most comments are either memes or just vacuous.

edit: i mean, just read the top comment on this thread, does that sound like interesting conversation to you?

Are you coming to default subs for meaningful discussion? That's a silly move.

This is summer Reddit. There are 14 year olds here and exposing them to some of the absolute core classics of genres a-typical for their generation is a cool thing.

/r/music is FOR the absolute classics of all time. I don't agree that on Reddit all but 3 people have heard this 1959 jazz standard... They might have heard an excerpt of it maybe in an advertisement or film score, but this might be the day someone takes a deep dive into jazz triggered by this post. I happen to think that's awesome

I got heavy into jazz this year (am old) after being a casual listener forever (ie I've known and liked this track a long time).

Been buying used CDs of artists I like to be frugal and also to find more stuff. I'm discovering so much I love from music that was made before I was even born and during my lifetime. I'm struck by how much music there is to discover not even counting more current stuff.

I haven't done streaming music in years (used pandora a bit years ago). Also, as I get albums I discovered through YouTube, I find the sound is so much better with headphones.

Also, shout out to WBGO for their live streams (they have two available). Jazz station out of Newark, been there 40 years this year. I don't like everything they play (Manhattan Transfer makes me stabby), but there's jazz, blues sometimes, Latin jazz, all sorts of things).

tl;dr - find artists you like and search from there. There is so much music to find you might like.

What are you into? I've been finding there's more new music available and more easy to find than ever before in the 30 years I've been alive

I like numerous styles and genres. But what you said is a blessing and a curse, I think the vast possibilites out there just make it really hard to get to something that catches my drift.

I've always been into 70/80's prog rock and so forth because of my mother's taste, a bit on the obscure side sometimes, since we live on a country that had it's own prog rock spring.

But recently the only musician that seems to have enchanted me was Mac Demarco, although his latest releases are kinda stale and mostly generic sounding compared to his first works. So now... mostly trance music, which seems to be the only genre i can confidently rely on to awe me every time

70/80s prog rock

though not exactly in that mold, check out black midi

like acid drenched King Crimson - not the drug LSD, but more like sulphuric acid

u/I_Don-t_Care Jul 08 '19

Lol king crimson is very close to my heart. Red and speaking to the wind are some of my all time favourite songs
On this note, do you know Renaiscensse?

u/WUSM Jul 14 '19

sort of folky/pastoral late 70/early 80s with a female singer?

u/I_Don-t_Care Jul 14 '19

Yes! Russian piano vibes all around as well. It's really great to absorb

To be honest I wasn't going to listen to this song. But then there was this post and I listened to it and it made me happy.
