I've had a pretty terrible sleep schedule with finals coming up. It started raining just as I got to psalm, felt amazing.

Anyone here listened to much T-Square or Casiopea? They might be a bit more /funk/ than jazz but I saw a couple albums on YouTube and was curious if anyone had any recs from them.

new Avishai Cohen (trumpeter) album is out now, going to listen to that in just a minute

ordered some cool jazz vinyl yesterday - Sam Rivers' Streams and Marcus Belgrave's Gemini

i remember jtg posted this magazine that had a good review of skies of america (i think), does anybody have that?

blindfold teste is still a thing?

They stopped around a month or two ago. I've seen Jazzpossu and Jtg posting and I'm sure the other guys post anon too.
They were kind of supposed to also be /jazz/ threads too. People still talked about other stuff in them occasionally.
/jazz/ has really started picking up in the past few weeks though and I think there'd be enough interest to start up some sort of listen along similar to blindfold. I'm in exam season so I'm kinda screwed for time atm, but might try and start something over the Summer if someone else hasn't already.

>>72617269
It was a weekly thread where someone would upload a playlist of 10 tracks with the info removed and people discussed them/guessed who the players/artists were. There was usually some sort of theme to the playlists too. For a couple of months, it was where 95% of the jazz discussion on the board happened and it was one of the best regular threads I've ever seen on /mu/.

>>72616470
Top 5:
Orgy in Rhythm
Mosaic
Birdland Vol. 1
Free For All
Moanin'

Sick with a cold right now. Listening to some Mahavishnu Orchestra and drinking some tea. Pretty comfy cold symptoms aside.

Reminder that JTG is a hack with bad taste.

Anyone here who also performs? Or is it just a listener's club?

opinions on this?
I personally love pianists
this and Ryo Fukui are my favorites, recommendations?

>>72620239
I would try Alice Coltrane. Try Ptah the El Daud and A Monastic Trio.

>>72620513
thanks, I'll check it out

>>72620239
I feel like most japanese jazz pianists sound quite similar to Oscar Peterson.

Kind of Blue is cool and all but I don't get how it's considered the best jazz album ever made or Miles' masterpiece.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cV-XyzbG17I

>>72620683
Stellar line-up + innovative songwriting.
That coupled with the fact that it's easy to listen makes it the 1st choice to try to hook people into jazz.

What's a good japanese jazz album? and Ryu Fukui is boring as shit so don't post him

I wonder how many jazz musicians suck dick just to get by.

>>72623464
Interested in getting one to suck yours?

If you want to succeed on the music industry you have to suck a bit of dick.

There's nothing shameful with sucking dick when you're short on money, don't be shy anon.
You can practice your sax techniques while on it.

I'm a guitar player interested in getting into and studying jazz. Which guitarists should I study besides Grant Green, Wes Montgomery, Django, etc.

I only know that herbie hancock is a genius

Why is it cool to hate on Ryo Fukui now?

>>72624147
>now
I always found him boring

>>72624147
Because he's ridiculously overrated and probably only liked by people who have hardly listened to any jazz

There are a thousand guitarists and most of them are good.
To say something odd I'd add Barney Kessel, he has a very intense chordal improvisation.

For the same reason any entry-level artist in any genre gets dissed on by purists.
Some of them get annoyed at people pretending they're long-life jazz fans when that's as deep as their taste in the genre goes, and some of them are legitimately upset that so many people are enjoying their "sekrit" genre.
That's not to say he's devoid of valid criticism though, it's true that his vocabulary when compared to the greats is somewhat shallow, which might make it sound boring to people more versed in piano trios.

>>72624904
>For the same reason any entry-level artist in any genre gets dissed on by purists

Except that anyone who really understands jazz will tell you that Miles, Coltrane, and Mingus (the classic entry level jazz artists) are all god-tier

>>72624677
There's too much to bother listing. Just look at http://rateyourmusic.com/artist/joe_henderson/credits/
Sort albums by most rated for his sessions as a leader and look into the credits section of his discog too. His best work was as a sideman, and you can see that reflected in how much more popular a lot of them are than his sessions as a leader. Again, the big ones generally have the highest number of ratings, with some exceptions. I was surprised how few some classics like Una Mas and Barsa had, but it's a good rule of thumb.

>>72625131
How do you sort this by rating?

But they all have plenty of albums that are hard to listen, you can't really label them as "entry-level" artists, they're just massively popular.

I'm revisiting a lot of the free jazz I enjoyed at university -

Phaorah Sanders, John Hicks, Coltrane, Mingus

Labels-wise I fucking love ECM - their records always feel so conceptually complete through the most amazing curation of album art. I've only got one beat-up ECM vinyl but I love it (Shift in the Wind, Gary Peacock)

>>72625237
Where it says "Reviews Ratings Average" if you click one of those words, it sorts it.

>>72625945
He's right though

I have got into jazz pretty recently, I like to listen many artists that you anons would consider entry-level, like Ryo Fukui, John Coltrane, Alice Coltrane, Bohren & der Club of Gore and also I've been really in love with some albums of Sun Ra, Dorothy Ashby and Cal Tjader.

I would appreciate a lot any recs, charts or sources where I could learn more about the genre...

>>72623354

Try jazz impressions of Japan

>>72626616
Honestly you've got the basis to get a wide coverage of the genre right there. I tend to just read up on individual band members and see who they've played with. I came across 70% of all the jazz I know just from following the bassist's discography.

Example - Alice Coltrane played with Charlie Haden, who played with Jan Garbarek, who played with Eberhard Faber - Now I'm a big Eberhard Weber fan

>>72626697
Got it. Thanks for the tip, I was kinda lost.

>>72626616
https://rateyourmusic.com/collection/jazzthreadguy/reviews
good resource for some more obscure artists

>>72626812
No problem - Also bass players have a way of setting the 'tone' for a band so you can be fairly sure that, say, a record with Clint Houston on it will sound a certain way, or be approximately like the thing you liked before

>>72626880
Thanks! I've saved the page here

>>72626907
Thank you again, that's some good wisdom right there for a pleb like me.

jazz is kinda an umbrella term and people like duke ellington and louis armstrong were pop too.

anyways, nat king coles trio stuff is pretty good vocal jazz

>>72636706
Thank you very much, anon
Great recs

>>72638668
Jazz was the pop of his time. Hence the covers of Mood Indigo and I get along without you on ITWSH. He was a an emotive and influential male singer who sang jazz songs and took phrasing cues from jazz singers. Whether you wanna preferentially call him trad pop or jazz is a matter of semantics but you could make a case for either. He sang jazzily and is worth hearing, so I mentioned him.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZcYwaFMLUR4

Can anybody rec me more of this type of Sun Ra? This is seriously one of the best things I have ever heard.
