>What have you been listening to?
Took a listen to Coltrane's Africa/Brass last night.
>What'd you think of it?
I remember when I was first getting into jazz, I was kind of associating it in my head with Ole era stuff. I hadn't listened to it for something like 3 years, and I didn't think it'd be anything too spectacular, thinking it was gonna be kinda vamp based modal stuff.
Glad I gave it a listen though, it was way fucking better than I remembered. It's like Coltrane's take on Miles' big band stuff with Gil.
>Heard anything cool from this year?
I have, but haven't been listening to anything new of late.

An anon posted this today and it got archived before I got around to listening to it, but I am right now. It's pretty awesome. Spotify says it's jazz/math rock fusion and that seems fitting enough. Anything else like this?

Also, this has been my favorite jazz album for a month probably. I really dig how they incorporated some Japanese sounds without straying too far from american jazz.

>>72511835
that's a cool cover

rec me some cool jazz album covers

Any Indian influenced jazz? i already know Alice Coltrane and India meets Jazz

>>72513602
>>72513602
Miles From India is pretty good.

>>72512694

Check out Mouse on the Keys.

>What have you been listening to?
Was listening to Ellington's Blues in Orbit just now, going to do some Don Cherry now
>What'd you think of it?
Blues in Orbit is one of my fav jazz albums. Don't know what to expect of Don Cherry yet, didn't really like Eternal Rhythm, think I'm going to try his s/t.

>Heard anything cool from this year?
I haven't actually listened to a single 2017 release, any recs?

not trying to suck his dick but his rym is a bretty good resource for finding new jazz releases

any good books about jazz that aren't biographies?

>>72516624
Geoff dyer's but beautiful. It's like a fictional briography. Dude writes in a very poetic way some short stories about jazz legends such as powell, mingus, young - which are not exactly factual -. Anyway, I'd rec it.

listening to the op rn

I can't figure out the term for what I'm into
I thought it was blues but that doesn't quite seem right
smooth jazz tends to be too smooth or (more often) not smooth enough
Pandora seems to call it "Cool Jazz"
the best example I can give of it is Houston Person

I was impressed with this one.

Attias, Aruan Ortiz, John Hebert, and Nasheet Waits

>>72511835
I'm listening now Bitches Brew

Cool,i'm actually in the first song so i can't give a concrete opinion but,just for that start this album derserves a "cool".

I went and saw the Wayne Shorter Quartet at SF Jazz on Friday. It was phenomenal. I was stoned out of my mind, the first time in a few weeks, and the music was evocative and inventive. Danilo Perez was playing the piano and John Patitucci was on the upright bass, forgot the drummer's name but she was skilled.
It wasn't like most of the jazz I've heard, which is hard bop, it was more abstract and focused in its emotions whereas I feel like hard bop can be music you listen to in a smokey 1950's club.
does anyone know other abstract, intense jazz works?

>>72517521
In a Silent Way is better tbqh. Bitches Brew is good though

>>72517566
Which you prefere,Kind of Blue or Bitches Brew?

>>72517585
Bitches Brew. Kind of Blue is obviously amazing but Bitches Brew is really unique and more interesting than Kind of Blue. A lot of it is very moody and has an almost dreamlike (and in some parts nightmarish) atmosphere that I love.

>>72514215
mouse on they keys have been my favorite band for the past while. i'm glad you mentioned them because now i have a backreference for this jazz/math rock fusion

this is my favorite book on jazz ive read but its very specifically about the black new york free jazz scene from like 1970 til 2002. theres also some commentary on wynton marsalis and the ken burns documentary that was happening around the time he wrote it which is interesting. i dont know if the guys a good writer or anything but i thought he was funny and he basically just tells you what albums to check out.

>>72517580
it was a female drummer playing

>>72519671
Would never have known

>>72518282
Looks cool

thoughts on polish jazz?

I exclusively listen to Jelly Roll Morton era stuff and before.
I'm not even sure if this should be called jazz. It's so different than the post-war rubbish

How can you stand these loose forms?

>>72519671
Terri Lyne Carrington, I believe

>>72520688
pls respond

>>72520721

it's been a while since I last went on a jazz binge. Listening to pic related, and absolutely loving it.

Anyone got more recs (apart from more sun ra)?

(the bits i like less from the album are the more conventional jazz 'covers', but as soon as it starts getting a bit out of hand I really dig it. I also really liked the black saint and the sinner lady, fwiw.)

can anyone tell me anything about this record that I might want to know?
my first sun ra album, too

I'd recommend starting with Sun Ra's more tame stuff like Jazz in Silhouette or Sleeping Beauty

lots of good jazz from Poland, but you don't hear about new releases that much apart from Tomasz Stanko

is there some good way of keeping up with new Polish releases?

Very cool! Was he performing Emanon with Casco Philharmonic? I will see him in July, where he will be performing Emanon, his new album.

>>72523374

Cool, thanks

>>72511835
>What have you been listening to?
Various albums from the mid 50s. Yesterday was Study in Brown and Afro-Cuban, today will be Jutta Hipp with Zoot Sims and Saxophone Colossus, possibly something else too if I feel like it.

>What'd you think of it?
Study in Brown was better than I remembered, great album actually. Afro-Cuban is kind of average, not much to say about it really.

going to see Metheny with Gwilym Simcock on piano, Linda Oh on bass and Antonio Sanchez on drums - the Unity Group was surprisingly good, so looking forward to it

>What have you been listening to?
A lot of Jimmy Giuffre lately. His blues-based folk jazz is so relaxing to listen to while also sounding very original thanks to the instrumentation (Jim Hall on guitar, Bob Brookmeyer on trombone). What his trio and quartet played in 1961-65 sounds so fresh 50 years later.

Why is Nothing Like You even on here? It was recorded 5 years earlier with a different lineup and doesn't compliment the rest of the tracks on the album at all. I'd have prefered if the quintet had just done a half assed jam if they needed to fill time.

>>72526387
well, singer Bob Dorough has no idea

How can an album be so free but still be so melodically beautiful? Cecil's got the touch, motivic development and elegance of Keith Jarrett and the ferocity of Tony Williams.
