Going back through some of my all time favourite Jazz pieces as of recent - most I haven't listened to in a good few years.
Today I listened to Ornette Coleman - Free Jazz. After maybe two - possibly three years. I remember thinking it was a great release but one I never really took serious. Usually with most Jazz I tend to read about it before hand, get a grasp on the soloists and what not.
After revisiting Free Jazz and reading and learning more about it, I came to realise just how complex and incredible it really is. Learning when and how the soloists were introduced into the piece is in my opinion imperative to understanding it.
Usually in Jazz I stick to the philosophy of "Listening to one solists throughout an album", some may think it's a retarded way to go about listening to Jazz but for me it helps me appreciate it more. With Free Jazz through you can't really do that, the fact that you have two entire quartets playing simultaneously, one in each channel, makes It incredibly difficult to focus on a soloist, your focus is constantly being redrawn to something else.

Jazz needs more Sitar
immediately

Recs on some all encompassing improv? Basically some jam records that aren't 90% sax.

fairly low-key meditative sax/flute+drums duo free jazz

>>70410466
Not usually my kinda thing but half way through and very listenable. Dig the rhythm and dynamic changes a lot.

Right this moment I'm listening to pic related with my new Sennheiser Momentum Over Ear headphones. It's sounding fantastic. A great introduction to jazz for newcomers that's not mentioned often. It may be a bit 'tame' or conventional, but it sure swings! The title of the album comes from the fact that it's Art Pepper with the Miles Davis rhythm section! So all great musicians. It's said that the session was recorded in a very improvised way, with zero rehearsals and he was notified of the recording session just a few hours earlier. So goes the legend at least

What are some great jazz compositions?

What does /jazz/ think of this?

Been listening to this, but it doesn't get any credit here, at least anything I've seen. Blakey plays like I've never heard him and completely takes charge of the music while still complimenting the players. Would highly recommend this to anybody looking for Jazz.

Any recs for something similar to this?

I love the big-band influence, it makes all of the melodies really interesting and thick. I have listened to other George Russell albums but nothing compares to Jazz In The Space Age.

He gets slept on, but his arrangements are fantastic. I got to play You Go To My Head in a group. Great big band stuff on this album.

>>70416400
Bill Holman is an amazing arranger. I'm glad someone else on /mu/ is familiar with him

>tfw too supid for jaz zand classical music

>>70417485
Don't worry stupid frog, no one's too stupid for classical, just look at the classical thread, lots of fellow retards there.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqSSHwFEn_8

>>70417558
Yeah, as opposed to this thread, that doesn't have retards or anyone in particular for that matter.

>>70417657
Well you probably need more retards, chill out and stop being so unwelcoming perhaps.

>>70417682
I've been longer in /jazz/ generals than /classical/.
It's just sad that now they now die quickly, I remember not even a year ago there were somewhat populated.
Maybe I'm just missing all the good threads.

>when somebody rates your favorite jazz album 1 star on RYM and writes a review that just says something vague like "didn't take it far enough"

>>70417736
don't worry anon, it just means they probably didn't actually listen to it

only a fool would care about RYM ratings when it comes to jazz anyway

>>70417736
Example?

One of my favorites. I wish Wayne's parts were mixed higher though. The climax of his solo on the title track usually underwhelms me because it seems drowned out.
