ragudave Posted July 6, 2004 Report Share Posted July 6, 2004 What are your favourite jazz albums? This my current fav' date=' the flute playing on this is DA SHIT I tell yeh![/quote']Bitches Brew by M Davis is good but I like most of the things on this compilation...Almost Space Free Jazz- well Jazz is a rather broad genre and this might stretch it even further. Some classics from the 60s, 70s and 80s and some more up to date tracks from Chicago, Norway and New York. Not easy listening at times (e.g. Naked City) but not totaly free jazz either.Side 1Sun Ra & His Solar Arkestra Cosmic ChaosSoury Simmons Interplanetary travelersFrank Lowe Brother JosephClavin Keys Aunt LoveyThe Awakening Mode for DDChicago Underground Quartet NostalgiaChicago Underground Quartet Tunnel ChromeHakon Berge Imprint of the BaccldaeMaja SK Ratkje Sinus SeductionSide 2Naked City Okska BondageBobby Watson Perpetual GrooveMiles Davis Sanctuary (edit)Radian JetJaga Jazzist Animal ChainColleen Everyone wants answersPolmo Polpo Like hearts swellingEric Friedlander May it please heavenSteve Reid Lions of JudahDavid Durrah Space 2Byron Morris & Unity Kitty Bey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
framheim Posted July 6, 2004 Report Share Posted July 6, 2004 i listened to a naked city album once and it gave me a headache. crazy crazy stuff, that john zorn needs to relax i tells ya. i'd have to go for in a silent way or headunters by herbie hancock.i'm not really clued up on my jazz actually so any tips would be greatly appreciated, i have to say i don't really like any of the totally frantic stuff. much more of a mellow jazz fan. incidentally, anyone a fan of karate? they're kind of indie jazz. i like them a lot.

lepeep Posted July 6, 2004 Report Share Posted July 6, 2004 my faves would becharles mingus : mingus ah umdave brubeck : time outmiles davis : miles aheadlee evans : sidewinder (the All Seeing Eye have something to say about that !)tom waits : nighthawks at the diner...nice!that's the good thing about Fopp (sorry dave) the Jazz is only 5 quid a CD (usually), so you can really experiment...Painkiller : execution ground (now, that is extreme, but in the right frame of mind, it's one of the best CD's you could ever want to hear)if you want a mellow introduction to jazz, I'd reccomend : miles davis : mellow miles (appart from those stinky 80's numbers) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then work up to Universal Sounds of America by Soul Jazz Records / Black Jazz by Soul Jazz, Chicago Underground Quartet / Duo / Trio and Jagga Jazzist et al. I also believe the Matthew Herbert recent album is worth getting... You also get jazz on Wire compilationsDave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Sundaram Posted July 6, 2004 Report Share Posted July 6, 2004 One album I am longing to hear is 'Off Centre' by the John Cameron Quartet from 1969.I dont suppose anyone's got it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Posted July 6, 2004 Report Share Posted July 6, 2004 I like these a lot...............Thelonious Monk/Gerry Mulligan "'Round Midnight" (esp whole side of title track!)John Coltrane "Live at Birdland"Charlie Mingus "Mingus Mingus Mingus Mingus Mingus"Miles Davis Quintet "Relaxin' with..."Stan Getz/Joao Gilberto "Getz/Gilberto"I have all of these.. Really good. I`m a big fan of Thelonious Monk and also Hank Mobley..."Workout" by Hank Mobley being a personal favourite. Philly Joe Jones plays drums on that album. Paul Chambers on bass too if I recall.. Most of my Jazz is very much from the same era. Same musicians etc.Not a big fan of vibraphone in jazz. I also hate smooth jazz.... Kenny G can burn in hell...

Alan Cynic Posted July 6, 2004 Report Share Posted July 6, 2004 I agree with you on the vibes front, Ross. I remember seeing the MJQ at the Music Hall a few years back, and it was pretty clinical......too refined, I think. I like bits of Brubeck, but he also has an overly cerebral approach, IMO.Hank Mobley I will now investigate....thanks.__________________________________________________________________________Kitchen Cynics....................................gefilte fish o'roonie........................................

Alan Cynic Posted July 6, 2004 Report Share Posted July 6, 2004 Everyone drools over you, Philip, as you well know. However it's the thought of Forbidden Fruitcake making wonderful sounds on a beautiful instrument which really gets the heart beating, so don't be worried!____________________________________________________________________Kitchen Cynics.............................................Forbidden Flutecake rules, ya bass........
