Just bought my first harmonica ever (diatonic, key of C). I've always wanted to learn how to play this sweet little instrument.
Any of you here play it? How do you recommend me to start learning it? Any good on-line resources? What do you like to play on it? General opinions from people on harmonica as an instrument?
>>73470544
Blow it with your ass.
>>73470544

Counting the boats in the bay edition
Welcome to /folk/, the friendliest general on /mu/! Here you can discuss trad, revival, singer-songwriter, folk-rock, folk-jazz, anything relevant to the notion of folk- if you feel like it's folk you can discuss it here!
Props to the anon who posted Vashti Bunyan's Just Another Diamond Day last thread, I really loved it. It went straight onto my main chart and my folk chart.
I have something of a daily discussion for everyone. I was reading Tolstoy's "Kreutzer Sonata" and it's apparently based on his belief that Beethoven, as much as he enjoyed his music and other composers, was excessive and not as universally "good" as folk songs and children's music, and also lacking in passion comparatively. Here's a quote:
“…not only do I not see how the feelings transmitted by this work could unite people not specially trained to submit themselves to its complex hypnotism, but I am unable to imagine to myself a crowd of normal people who could understand anything of this long, confused, and artificial production, except short snatches which are lost in a sea of what is incomprehensible. And therefore, whether I like it or not, I am compelled to conclude that this work belongs to the rank of bad art.”
This speaks to me, regarding the general state of /mu/. Don't you think?

Monk wuz intolerant of natseez edition
Hi /jazz/ what you been listening to recently? I've been trying to get into Monk. Originally when I watched him play live I thought he was just some sperg who hit his foot on the floor and played random notes to see what stuck, but is it true that there is a method to his madness? I accept that there's no such thing as a "wrong" note, and his philosophy, but I couldn't help but feel like he was just playing randomly. I like his albums though. It's just I guess that I haven't an appreciation for his style, given that I'm more the sort of person to listen to Bill Evans...
Can you help me understand why Monk is so great? I can at least tell that some of his technical skill (E.G., arpeggio triplets) is innovative.
>>73469879
First let me admit that I'm still quite new to Jazz so any accusations of being a pleb I will accept. That being said, I've been listening to several classic albums by some of the more famous Jazz artists such as Kind of Blue and Milestones by Miles Davis and Blue Train and Giant Steps by John Coltrane in addition to some other stuff. I enjoy some aspects of these albums but I feel like the long lengths of the solos get to me after a while. Like it's hard for me to keep up with the playing and it all sounds the same to me.
That being said I'm listening to Dave Brubeck's Time Out album and really enjoying. It's much more cohesive and melodic. Another album I've really enjoyed is Mingus Mingus Mingus especially the song II B.S. Any suggestions on more stuff like that?
what's the best fb page of jazz memes?
To OP
I think its totally normal to feel that way when first getting into jazz. The best thing you can do, imo, is to listen to those albums over and over until you know them in and out. That way you'll start to hear and understand the jazz language more and it won't sound all the same. That for me was the most challenging part about getting into it, and it took me about a year to get accustomed to the sound.
But anyway I recommend you listen to Hank Mobley - Soul Station. It's very melodic and his playing is captivating without sounding chaotic or disjointed. If you haven't checked out Charlie Parker, you JUMP on that. He is the dude that basically invented the bebop language and is the reason most players of the 50s and beyond sound the way they do. I'd suggest checking out a compilation, or Norman Granz' Jam session album with C. Parker. Bird and Diz is also a super good start. Good luck
