well, i always did know /mu/ was retarded
coltrane's my favorite things is krautrock
the only inspiration free jazz had was for the shit unlistenable CAN tracks on Tago Mago
So what do you guys think of the Franco-Flemish school? Favourite generation? Favourite composer?
>>72549539
I meant more as in the sheer number of styles, genres, and albums. I didn't really know where to start and with whom. Thanks for the rec!
So what was your AOTY in 1995?
Pro-tip: If it isn't pic related, then you're wrong.

Wow, no need to demonstrate how much of a pleb you are. We already know
Dead general
Stop trying to make this a thing

1995 was probably its 2nd reissue, it was recorded in the 80s, using AOTY about classical is pretty stupid anyway.
Sorry /jazz/ we will try and keep our infants from wandering past their bedtime.
Why are people shit posting in this today? This has been a pretty good general most of the time. Whyd everyone pick today to fuck it all up?
>>72549713
that's because you're thinking of it as a style/subgenre, but Jazz is as encompassing a genre as Rock or Classical, if there has to be a trinity it is those three with crossovers between them.

>>72550322
A couple /classical/ posters (one of them being me) started to discuss jazz. We had a couple jazz posts last thead too when /jazz/ was offline so we kinda continued from there. But a couple other /classical/ posters spilled their spaghetti over it so hard it overflowed into this thread.

Are you that idiot from the other thread? I'm sorry I was mean to you.
Can anyone recommend jazz featuring more flute playing? I've gotten into Roland Kirk and Sam Rivers' stuff lately.

This thread was probably made by a /classical/ poster as an excuse to shoo away the jazz discussion in that thread.

Jesus, that album bloooows. >>72550513
Nope, this general was resurrected a few weeks ago after somewhat consitent jazz threads were popping up with some pretty serious discussion and some new jazz tripcodes started.
>>72550510
Eric Dolphy, Yusef Lateef and Joe Farrell are all pretty good flautists too. Jazz flute is kinda an easy thing to fuck up though. A lot of sax players dabbled a little and sometimes it went really well. More often than not, it was cheesy as fuck.
>>72550533
>one last tip- I recommend smoking some marijuanna while enjoying your jazz

Jazz piano is the hardest thing. Like I have no doubt that it's pretty difficult to play jazz well on any instrument but good jazz pianists are like next level geniuses.

Lel, literally the best part of the chart. I remember some guy bitched about that paragraph a year or two ago and a version of the chart was made without it. I've never seen it posted since though.

I think /blindfold/ was a cool idea but i think it should have been seperate from /jazz/. I never wanted to listen to the playlists and stuff, i just wanted to talk about what people were listening too. There was some general discussion in blindfold but i felt like an ass if i just randomly chimed in.
>>72552589
It's crazy. Not only do they have to rapidly change time signatures with complex patterns but also their dynamics to complement whoever is taking lead.
Not to put down other instruments at all, but there are so many elements to jazz drumming it's mind boggling.
>>72552841
>change time signatures with complex patterns >change the dynamics
You have to do that on any instrument. Percussion instruments have always been, are, and will forever be the simplest ones to play.
>>72552359
No.
>>72553230
Only the rhythm section have to phase between tempo changes though, you know how difficult that is with triplets, backbeat and an irregular kick?
Simplest to play maybe, incredibly hard to master.
>>72553330
However difficult advanced jazz drumming is, it is nothing compared to advanced playing on any other instrument. You're talking as if the other players don't have to bother with the rhythmic aspect of the music at all. No, they totally have to, and they also have to deal with everything else on top of that.

good free jazz release from this year.
Hey. Seems to be some conflict in this thread. Maybe I can defuse it. I started paying attention to the jazz threads this week (needed a break from hip-hop and indie rock) and decided to try jazz once again. I'm 22. I've tried jazz a few times over there years but it's never really clicked. This week, though. I've listened to Head Hunters, Jazz Impressions of Japan, A Love Supreme. Something's changed. Maybe I'm older. But it's clicked, it's a wonderful noise. And it's inspired me to drop my acoustic guitar and my uninspired folk tunes and try to learn to play jazz piano with the end result no doubt being utter mediocrity. But I'm enjoying this, going through the classics, seeing what I've missed out on. I have a feeling free jazz and fusion jazz are gonna be my jam. This is my jazz period. Thank you 4chan.
Hi Jazz Guys Gals and Gurus please give me good jazz with lots of vocal parts/harmonies if it's real thanks

I haven't really researched it or anything, but I think modal jazz might have been generally influential on rock music - at least in the fifties rock song chord progressions still typically had functional harmony (V chord resolving into I) - even 12 bar blues does this in this end - but after modal jazz became a thing there started to be popular rock songs where the chord progressions are essentially modal vamps or contain solo passages like that
Like for example The Doors Break on Through is just two chords all the way and the long jam in Light My Fire is a two-chord dorian mode thing.

What's the best Bud Powell album in your opnion, /jazz/?
>>72548245
Anyone here know this one? It's one of the first albums to really get me into jazz. It's got some pretty tasty stuff on it.
what are some others like Miles Davis- Live in Vienna 1973?
>>72558876
He's right. Drummers only have to bother with dynamics, rhythm and timbre. Everyone else has to bother with dynamics, rhythm, timbre, melody and harmony. But it's not only that, it's also the fact that it is a whole lot easier to get the desired sound out of percussion instruments than other instruments (exceptions being stuff like timpani drums -- not surprising then that drummers almost never include timpani in their kits, eh?). That's just how non-pitched and fixed-pitch instruments are. The piano is even easier if we take only this aspect into account, the relevant difference being that the piano has over 80 keys (every key is the analogue of a drum or a cymbal; even the most overkill kits have only a couple dozen elements in total) to fret over and you have to care about a lot more than their loudness and the timings between their use.
And I haven't said anything about winds yet. When the exact same embouchure, air-flow and fingering produces an entirely different sound simply because the temperature of the instrument or the level of humidity in the room has changed, and you have to adjust for it on the fly (not unusual the longer the concert), then you can talk about how much discipline is required.
But all that really needs to be said on the matter in the end is: get that chip off your shoulder little drummer boy; just because playing drums is less complex than playing other instruments doesn't mean that drumming has a 'lesser' role. It's the interplay between the instruments that matters. Every instrument is a background instrument when someone else is playing the lead. Relish your solos and bang on.
(But what do I know, I'm a faggot from /classical/.)
>>72560785
how unsurprising that some /classical/ fag doesn't understand jazz drumming and brings up fucking timpani's - there are many techniques to get different sounds out of a drum kit as well and jazz drummers often incorporate other percussion as well
limb independence also is definitely something that takes a lot of practice and is a way bigger thing for a jazz drummer than even a pianist
drummers generally need to make others sound good, so it's not just an aftethought that good jazz drummers need to do their "arranging" on the spot instead of just playing a beat
>>72560924
Haha yeah also that guy posted an anime pic, what a fag
>>72560924
Yes m8, you can use a brush instead of a stick, you can change the angle of attack, you can also swipe and scratch the membrane not just hit it (etc). All this does is change the timbre of the sound. Like I said: timbre, rhythm and dynamics.
I may not be an expert on jazz drumming, but you're certainly not telling me anything I don't know.
>>72548245
Does Angela - Theme from "Taxi" fall under this category?
Recc me some good jazz fusion
>>72561932
Here's a list of every good jazz fusion album, Anon:
>>72550476
i mean, on the one hand mingus and coltrane are the best of the best but also this is entry level stuff anon and you should probably listen to more
>>72557719
they have some nice records but lots of their stuff is boring
>>72561932
Some fusion that I enjoyed:
Miles Davis (it's pretty obvious I guess)
Marion Brown - Sweet Earth Flying (1974)
Zbigniew Namysłowski Quintet - Kujaviak Goes Funky (1975)
Pat Metheny - Bright Size Life (1976)
Yusef Lateef - The Diverse Yusef Lateef (1970)
Free Cooperation - In the Higher School (1986)
Gwinciński / Richter / Skolik - Jupiter, Urizen, Wernyhora, Trungpa (1998)
Tomasz Stańko - Witkacy Peyotl / Freelectronic (1986)
Joe Zawinul - Zawinul (1971)
Weather Report - Sweetnighter (1973)
Sun Ra - Lanquidity (1978)
>>72558538
This. Historically and contemporarily, they've been consistently fantastic jazz records of all time.
>>72562359
How would you go about BTFOing this guy
>>72548315
>>72562332
i need to check those out (not same anon)
i enjoy some recent fusion like:
snarky puppy
bill Laurance
tigran hamasyan
house of waters
jacob collier
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_XJ_s5IsQc that solo still gives me the chill
>>72562533
BTFOing a classical elitist for thinking all jazz is mediocre is way more trouble than it's worth. They're autistic as fuck, know their shit and have the most advanced musical tradition in the world to fall back on.
There are plenty of great non-ECM records taking cues from modern classical and jazz albums that don't derive their adventurousness from the European tradition that you could list off and discuss into the ground for days on end, but frankly, you'd be arguing with the world's most verbose brick wall.
>>72561932
Some high-profile albums from the 70's anyone interested in Fusion should check out IMHO - many of them jazz afficionados today will think of as cheesy, but they're still "essential fusion":
Miles Davis - Bitches Brew
Chick Corea & Return to Forever - Light as a Feather
Chick Corea - My Spanish Heart
Al Di Meola - Elegant Gypsy
Herbie Hancock - Sextant
Mahavishnu Orchestra - Inner Mounting Flame
Weather Report - Weather Report
Weather Report - Heavy Weather
Jaco Pastorius - Jaco Pastorius
George Duke - The Aura Will Prevail
Billy Cobham - Spectrum
Lenny White - The Adventures of Astral Pirates
Pat Metheny - Bright Size Life
Tony Williams - Joy of Flying

That is all
>>72564491
Redefining the meaning of "melody" to force its application to non-pitched instruments does not mean that you're actually playing a drum kit melodically. Now, there are plenty of pitched percussion instruments, and I'm sure there must be some drummer out there who's using a pitched drum kit (not counting cheat hacks like adding a xylophone to the kit or something). You should be the expert, I don't follow the scene, so feel free to drop any names, but something tells me it's not exactly the norm for jazz bands.
You keep throwing all this shit about drumming at me and had the same style with that other guy. I'd appreciate it more if you demonstrated some familiarity with other instruments as well. If you want to talk about what's harder to play you have to make actual comparisons, not just list all the fancy shit you can do. So far I'm the only one who's making actual comparisons.
So, go on faggot: tell me something about the sax, piano, clarinet, or trumpet (or whatever). It better be right, and it better be interesting. You get bonus points if you manage to convince me that playing drums is more complicated than playing oboe.

>>72565697
I think he usually justifies his opinions pretty well. Which ones specifically do you disagree with?
I don't want the thread to be completely taken over by arguments over which instrument is harder to play, so apologies for spurring it in that direction with my rants.
Recommend me some albums or tracks featuring oboe playing. (Beyond stuff like I.X. Love. or Sketches of Spain, but I would appreciate it if it's in the same vein.)
>>72566332
not all that much prominent oboe in jazz
Yusef Lateef is probably the most prominent oboe player, although he did play more sax and flute. Three Faces of Yusef Lateef has a couple of oboe tracks
probably the most famous individual jazz track featuring oboe is Lateef's Love Theme from Spartacus:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BhqQFs7huwU
Okay I'm probably gonna sound like a massive faggot, but I am a really big hip-hop fan and I have been getting into jazz (listened to about a hundred jazz albums so far) and I have found that I really, really like albums that combine hip-hop and jazz, but there seem to be so few of them.
But I don't mean jazz rap like A Tribe Called Quest or To Pimp A Butterfly or whatever, I mean actual jazz but with hip-hop elements, like hip-hop style drums but with live jazz instrumentation and shit.
Here is the perfect example of what I am talking about: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H_Wi2_rnfOY&list=FL1mGcjD8cGrym7gFBHFcy2Q&index=1 (uyama hiroto - freeform jazz)
another example would be the jazz album that El-P made that nobody seems to know about. if you guys have any more recs for stuff like this I would be very happy.
>>72566811

Alfa Mist - Antiphon
Yussef Kamaal - Black Focus

>>72566510
Hmm... damn, I actually knew about Yusef Lateef (some of the first jazz I tried actually) it just didn't cross my mind. But thanks.
I also know about Oregon / Paul McCandless. It's my impression that these are all pretty entry level though.
