>no real mccoy
other than that its pretty accurate

How do I get into Jazz

>>74327845
Kind Of Blue is usually the popular answer.
But it has nuances that could fly over most beginners.
I say Black Saint.
Easy. Not as complex. Jazz record.

>4. Sun Ra- Atlantis

>caring about Scaruffi's opinions on jazz
He's a decent rock critic but his writings on jazz and classical are seriously embarrassing

>>74328089
>He's a decent rock critic
Not even.
He's a scam.
Anybody got that post of anon debunking all the supposed albums scaruffi listens to?

I'VE LISTEN TO THE BLACK SAINT AND THE SINNER TWO DAYS AGO NOW IT'S DISCUSSED EVERYWHERE THIS HAPPENS EVERYTIME I LISTEN TO SOMETHING HOW WHY HOW .

>>74328282
you are new here, retard

>>74328167
his rock recommendations are BY FAR the best you can find, fucking Soft Machine, Faust and Vampire Rodents, bands that nobody would ever talk about again and are amazing

>>74328832
>his rock recommendations are BY FAR the best you can find
Yeah. But he's a retard in almost everything he talks about.

>>74328891
whatever, he still the best guide to know about great music, thats enough for me to appreciate the guy

>>74328089
who are some good jazz critics then

>>74329024
Anybody who isn't white.

>>74327845
listen to hip hop from '94-99

>>74328167
Eh, it's not difficult to listen to all the music he has rated...
I think you mean his film lists, but that's because he takes opinions from critics he trusts. He even says so in the same page.

no herbie, keith jarett, pat metheny, weather report

>>74329083
>no herbie,
Literally porn music.

>>74329122
was for>>74329098

>no Bill Evans
>no McCoy Tyner

>>74329037
Just white people cares about jazz nowadays

No Charlie Parker, no Dizzy Gillespie, where's the fuckin bebop? Black Saint isn't even jazz btw it's third stream.

>>74329180
>bebop
Shit.
Sad!

>>74329206
>implying bebop isn't the turning point for jazz

>>74329122
headhunters is great porn music though

>>74327804
This is the reason why /mu/'s taste in jazz is so shitty

>>74329271
this list is basically shitty independent coffee shop playlist, bar bitches brew

>>74329336
>>74329271
You can't shit on Open, To Love,
Wtf.

>>74329024
Thom Jurek is alright; I haven't paid enough attention to who's writing what, but freejazzblog is alright. I would suggest only loosely basing your current-year listening on critics' scores; your best bet is going to be sniffing around based on instruments, formats, players, etc. that you like. AKA get some taste. Scaruffi's opinions on jazz are trash largely in part because, right next to his greatest jazz albums list, he states that a largely composed and/or studio-spliced album will nearly always be better than a largely improvised or live album; this mentality is the antithesis of much jazz, particularly the free jazz he champions on the list this statement is next to.

>>74329024
Anthony Fantano

>>74327804
bebop and hard bop are so much more interesting to listen to than free jazz or improv shite

>>74327804
>makes top 25 greatest jazz albums of all time list
>gets name of #1 wrong

goddamn OP

>>74327804

The best thing you can do is listen to his 8+s but don't discredit his 6-7's, and avoid "review" he has ever written (it's probably in Italian anyway). I don't think I've been disappointed by an 8/10 yet.

>>74331984
That's the first thing I noticed too, and I'm confident that I don't need confirmation for that.

>>74327845
Listen to digable planets and tribe called quest then find what theyre sampling and get into those groups. You'll find it easy from there

>>74327804
the problem is that half of the shit on your list my son, is entry level meme shit that plebs will jerk off and never listen to any jazz beyond that

>>74332883
Why listen to anything after A Love Supreme knowing nothing will ever top it?

>>74332086
not this. Jazzthreadguy is the worst.

>>74327804
>bitches brew is a good album
>sure, Fantano, sure

>>74330202
>freejazzblog
