Everyone is welcome to post anything they think should be added to the pasta, ESPECIALLY a mega folder for essential albums in lossless

I'm trying to form a list of some of the most essential jazz albums of the 2000s so i can go through them, anybody wanna help?

>>73695196
Thanks a lot

There's a list in the charts but probably it would only help you to begin: http://imgur.com/a/7k7Sw

where can i find more of what Fire! Orchestra does, or just other artists that mix free jazz with other genres. trondheim jazz orchestra is another goody, more like them would be ace

>>73695524
Isn't this just randomly put together though? I'm pretty sure the guy just put whatever albums were posted in the thread into the chart

>>73695788
Well what do you want?

>>73695877
I guess I'm asking for more of a flowchart

>>73695914
probably not one out there bud

>>73695914
A flowchart wouldn't make sense. The stuff is all too diverse

I hope Jazz music is just as good this year as it was a few years back when it was pretty good too when there was that desert album that i really liked.

>>73695914
There's this but it's all for one record label and I think some of them are from before 2000

speaking of Birth of the Cool, just copped pic related, plus a Out to Lunch and Hub-tones t-shirts. I wanted to get the Compulsion one but it was an ugly grey. I'll look like an autist wearing them but how else will anyone know I listen to jazz?

what does everyone think of covering modern pop music in a jazz context? do you think it is gimmicky or does it depend? what are some of you favorite examples of people doing this.

Any books about free jazz that you would recommend?

I trust all of you have listened to at least part of the David W. Niven collection? If you haven't, get to it. I suggest starting with the Fats Waller tapes.

This is a pre-WWII Jazz fan's perspective and meticulous compilation of great Jazz. He mad all of this in the last 80s before he passed away, made from his legendary collection of Jazz records he bought, starting as a paper boy in the 40s.

>650 tapes · 1,000 hours · 1,378 WAV files · 637 GB · 691 JPEG scans of cassette liner cards & literature. Meticulously Collected, Compiled, and Narrated by David W. Niven, 1930-1993.
>Throughout the ten years prior to WWII, during my high school and college years, my 78 RPM 10”, followed by 33 1/3 RPM LP, collection grew to the thousands. All the big names of jazz, along with lesser legends, were included, and I found myself with a first class treasure of early jazz music.
>The main reason for doing this rather major project was to put my collection into some kind of compendium form that would attract my children to the music that had been of such significance in my life. My collection amounted to over 10,000 hours of tapes. No two people will agree with my selection of Legends. I decided to choose from the years prior to the BeBop period, i.e., before Gillespie, Bird, Monk, Miles.

This man's commentary and selection is irreplaceable. A collection that is literally a historical treasure, David W. Niven's collection should be listened to by anyone looking for good Jazz.

Hey guys, not sure if you're okay with requests

I know fuck all about jazz but I've decided to start with modal jazz seen as I love Africa/Brass. Who are good artists to start with? I'm currently listening to George Russel Sextet

>>73699972
Start with the album in OP and the first quarter eith chet baker and russ freeman.
Then listen to Two Of A Mind, Blues in Time, and What Is There to say

uhhh its okay, good intro list but not that great of an essential list

I've been playing classic piano for like 7 years and I want to get into jazz.

Anyone got any decent recommendation for learning? Harmony/theory etc.

>>73711276
get a teacher

>>73711313

Woops. Missed a word. I meant got any recommendations for books*

>>73711383
get a teacher

failing that, take some classes

failing that, adam levine's book is pretty good

although, you should really get a teacher

>>73711422
you show talent. but to criticism, you clearly know how to play a scale, but not much else. add chromaticism and interesting flavour to your playing, but the biggest criticism i have is that it's way too much. less is more, always. stop playing so many notes and start playing the right ones.

>>73711456
Thx for feedback

The nearest teacher is way out of town, is it too late for me friends?

>>73711456
I almost agree with this guy, but not quite. It's possible to play a lot of notes and still be musical, but what you personally need to do is work on your sound. Your phrases blend together really uniformly. Try making certain notes stand out more. Accentuate key portions of your phrases and work on bend/sliding techniques to give more variations and personal feel. Try to sing or hum your phrases and then play them like you sing it.

>>73711494
if you live close to a university, i guarantee you that there's a ton of graduate students who want to teach you. if you're near a community college, there's probably a music professor there who does private lessons. if you're in a reasonably sized town, then there's definitely someone who does private lessons near you. ask around, ask musicians. go to the local church, there'll be keyboardists there who can either teach you or point you in the right direction. musicians who want work are everywhere, you just have to know where to find them

Are there any vocalists that you guys think are underrated?
