Why do white people attempt jazz anymore? They had a fair run.

Why do white people attempt jazz anymore?
They had a fair run. But will never reach musical adventurous and status as Miles, Mingus, Ra, and Coltrane.

is this shitpost so bad because it's early morning? Or is it intentionally that egregious because you're reatarded?
>>
Yes, i too just started listening to jazz just yesterday. Coltrane, Miles, Mingus, the list just goes on and on!
>>
OP listened to a whole FIVE jazz albums before contributing this intelligent post.

Ah Um is good but Black Saint is pretentious shit that I can bet none of you actually know why you like it
>>
>>72888863
Ah Um is Mingus writing creative compositions that both typify the original composers and set his own distinct style in a fusion that was truly modern, forward thinking.
Now you explain why Black saint is good that doesn't rely on Scaruffi
>>
>>72888904
Black Saint is a distinct take on jazz by that time. It's very creative in the means of composition and styles combined. And, frankly, few records have reached that scope of sound and composition. It's just a massive statement in jazz music from start to end. Sorry if you don't like it, but it's amazing. Not even my favorite Mingus, but can't deny its brilliance.
>>
>>72888904
What do you mean "explain why it's good"? What the fuck do you want? It's a bunch of well composed and arranged tunes with some top tier musicians playing them. What else is there to explain?
>>
>>72888971
He wanted extreme cork sniffing jazz club meme phrases.

>>72888971
He probably wants to know what makes them well composed and arranged.

Pithecanthropus Erectus and Mingus at Antibes
>>
>>72890098
You should listen to Ah Um, no matter what anyone here says. It's his other "classic" record.

My other favourites are the stuff he did with Eric Dolphy and Jaki Byard.
>>
>>72888556
It's a good album eventhough vastly overrated by the reddito- I mean mu posters who probably cant count more than 5 jazz pieces by different artists
>>
>>72890360
If you think it's overrated that's fine, but it's been critically acclaimed and hugely popular in pretty much every jazz community since it was released, so just because your only source for music is Reddit and /mu/ don't assume that's everyone's reason for liking the album.

the arrangements on Ys were done by Van Dyke Park's but it's still Joanna's album, what's your point? I believe OP is referring to white people's attempts at "solo" jazz albums.

although I would argue John Zorn is pretty good

I think his point is that white jazz musicians have merit and are as good as black jazz musicians. But at the end of the day, who gives a fuck?

I've been trying to digest Derek Bailey's music for a while now. I have no problem with Brötzmann, Zorn, Soft Machine, Sun Ra, Ornette Coleman, but Derek's playing seems amateurish and unstructured to be taken seriously. And I'm a guitar player. Does he have any "tame" albums?

read his book on improvisation in music - it's interesting:
https://www.amazon.com/Improvisation-Its-Nature-Practice-Music/dp/0306805286/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1495315978&sr=8-1

I don't think there are any Bailey albums that will change the mind of someone that doesn't get it - he's basically always pretty primitive sounding and never gave fucks

Topography of the Lungs, The Music Improvisation Company album on ECM, Derek Bailey & Han Bennink are great - Mirakle and his albums with Ruins are more accessible, but if you don't get it and you've already tried, chances are good you won't
>>
>>72895250
Thank you for you recommendations. It's not that I don't get it. But it sounds chaotic and primitive to the point everyone could do it. Trout Mask Replica may sound like that for some ears, but it's as far removed from that as possible.
