I think I've been a little mean to Japanese free jazz. I heard 3-4 artists who only seemed interested in making unusual timbres and kind of characterized the whole scene based on that. This was good though, gonna get the rest of this album.
Thanks for sharing buddy

>mfw jtg calls ryo fukui a "student group"

>>70802130
really though, Youtube is full of videos of people playing Autumn Leaves in their bedroom with playalong tracks that sound better than that

i know the cover blows but its definitely in the running for jazz release of the year imo, please go listen!

>>70802130
Lel, he can be pretty brutal sometimes. I'm surprised he hadn't heard it before but I'm not surprised he wasn't crazy about it. He usually loves more complex/virtuosic playing and Fukui tends to play things pretty safe.

I don't think that's necessarily the case. There are a lot of players who play really simple stuff that I love- Chet Baker, Lester Young, Ahmad Jamal. But when you play simple you have to play with a lot of strong intent and conviction which I didn't really hear in that Fukui track.

I think a big part of it is also that the playing on that track reminds me a lot of my own playing, so I hear in it everything that I hate about my own playing which makes me extra critical.

>>70802375
Fair point. I feel like it's probs a general preference though and there's plenty of players who play simple/straightforward stuff but who are very invested in what they're doing who you tend not to like though. Pharaoh Sanders, Kamasi, etc.

>>70802196
fair enough but fukui is NOT a student group

if anyone thought this playlist was too shite (there was one funk track and one literal smooth jazz track in there) i didnt want to just make it a bebop circlejerk so i had to put a few variations here and there to accurately represent japanese jazz. thanks for participating, who will be the next compilator?

>>70802878
Well I think taste is a big part of it too. While Kamasi or Sanders definitely play simply in terms of harmony and rhythm I don't think either of them do it particularly tastefully in the way that the other players I mentioned do.

>>70802882
I never said he was, just that the trio sounds like a student group

>>70802913
I'm working on one that can probably be next week if nobody else has anything. There's a theme to it but I'd rather keep what the theme is a secret until the reveal or if anybody figures it out by listening.
