It was fun. Honestly a great selection of songs to make use of in the series.

That ending, though.

This was really fun.

Are there any more free jazz albums that have a strong Vibes presence?

>>74356765
Out to Lunch if you havent heard it.

Does anyone unironically like Free Jazz? It's the Picasso of music. Talented people making a mess and calling it fine art.

>>74356964
This bait is so obvious it hurts me

>>74356706
Have you read the manga that follows the anime ending? I think it tied it up nicely with one last jam session with everyone.

rec stereotypical decadent jazz, you know, alcohol, cigarettes, sadness

Just watched La La Land

Loved it

What other jazz fusion should I check out if I like Hot Rats, Billy Cobham, Snarky Puppy, Weather Report and Allan Holdsworth?

>>74356964
Free jazz is great to listen to when you're out running, keeps your mind occupied

pewdiepie

>>74359982
What?

>>74356706
It was like they were still listening to jazz all that time and wanted to do fusion instead of hard bop :'o

>>74359931
Here's something for you:
http://rateyourmusic.com/list/warpigcat/allan_holdsworth___i_knew_that_he_plays_on_many_albums_but_look_here____/
Sun Ra, Al Di Meola, Joe Henderson, Nucleus and John Abercrombie may interest you too.

Who are your top three jazz messengers?

Speaking of Hot Rats, what other Zappa jazz albums are worth checking out? Jazz From Hell is pretty good but it doesn't really have as much of a theme or cohesion as Hot Rats does

>>74360475

>fucking reddit normies in my /jazz/ bread

Does Canadian jazz even exist? This thought has never even crossed my mind until a few minutes ago.

>>74363147
yes, it's relatively obscure though

check these mixes out for some:
https://www.mixcloud.com/DubbelDee/mojazz-180-canadian-jazz/
https://www.mixcloud.com/maxvibes/deep-jazz-from-canada/

>>74363147
Oscar Peterson, Paul Bley, Kenny Wheeler, and Seamus Blake are all Canadian

>>74363147
It's called avant-poutine.

>>74360478
I want whatever drugs your on. Uncle Meat is so not a jazz album. Influence and elements are there, but calling it a jazz album like Hot Rats is almost comical.

Is there another June Christy album as good as this? Any other albums of her worth checking out?

If not, any other rec(s)? Her voice is great.

>>74361165
Every edm/idm microgenre
Punk
Metal
Rock

>>74363511
She looks like the sort of singer who must have really naff versions of Sunday, Summertime and My Funny Valentine in her discog.

>>74363535
These are all great compared to the mindless wankery that is jazz.

>>74363147
bley seems to be the only popular one

>>74363811
no

>>74358277

I have not, but I probably should.

However, music manga always just makes me wish for an anime adaptation; you can't really get the musical storytelling like when they were playing Blowin' Away the Blues in that club in a manga.

imagine being BORING enough to dislike jazz buncha boring fucks

>>74363811
If you think they're similar, then possibly. ALS is widely considered a classic for good reason. People sing it's praises all the time around here and elsewhere tho.

Karma isn't on the same level imo, but I think Sanders gets across the feeling and atmosphere he wanted. Jazz fans will often slag it cause Pharoah is a little ham fisted in his execution sometimes, but I think a lot of the charm of the album lies in that very unsophisticated playing and composing.

>>74360475

Sleep Dirt is basically just Hot Rats pt 2, though not as good. Also check out Waka Jawaka and The Grand Wazoo.

>>74363921
I didn't really like Waka. Problem with a lot of Zappa's jazz stuff lies in his style as a band leader. He's very authoritative. Jazz is supposed to be a group enterprise but he wanted everyone playing things exactly the way he liked. It takes players personalities out of their playing which is the whole point of jazz.
Hot Rats somehow shook off some of that feeling cause players got to stretch out in the improv.
Beefheart's performance is by far the best, he so didn't care about pleasing Frank and Frank was usually wise enough to not ask him to.

>>74359931
Some of my favorite fusion:
Return to Forever - Where Have I Known You Before
Herbie Hancock - Headhunters
Mahavishnu Orchestra - The Inner Mounting Flame, Birds of Fire

Also, Jeff Beck and Santana both have a lot of good fusion-y stuff.

>>74363904
Imagine being boring enough to unironically listen to jazz and pretend to enjoy it. It blows my mind that some people waste their time on that crap

Then why did you click on the thread?

Just today realized I'd forgotten I wanted to listen to Mingus's stuff. I have Pithecanthropus Erectus and The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady, and Nostalgia in Times Square from the tribute band his wife maintains.

He's been the band leader for many a record, what are the must-hears?

>>74353102
That album should have been much better than just smooth jazz adaptations. The songs are still good on their own still so it's listenable, but pretty disappointing.

Why is this instrument such bitch?

>>74367788
how long have you been playing
if you had real experience this would not happen

>>74367813
Yes I'm a beginner. Playing since may, and unfortunately can only play up to 1hr in the evening.
I know its about experience, but you'd think that after three months this shit wouldn't happen anymore. The mouthpiece is small but its like a whole fucking galaxy in there.
And its worse that after playing for like 15-20mins, I sometimes can literally do what I want and the sound comes out as I want it. I dont even need "my" embochure anymore.
And in the same sense, it also sometimes just stops working altogether.

I dont wanna be a quitter but its really frustrating sometimes.

>>74367932
you have to do long tones and slurs every day
lip muscles atrophy extremely quickly

>>74365859
You actually skipped the must-hears Blues&Roots, Mingus Ah Um, and Mingus Mingus Mingus Mingus Mingus.

If you listen to jazz but have never played jazz yourself you should unironically kill yourself.

>>74367951
Yeah I know and I do that. And when it works then it works really well. I made good progress in terms of range and things to play and practice in general.
Its just that I'm doing what I always do and suddenly its shit. And I cant pinpoint the problem, because its what I did exactly 5mins ago and it worked perfectly.
And now my teacher is on tour and I'm dying here.

>>74368030
do buzzing exercises, get the arban and concone books

its just effort

>>74368009
>Tfw I want to join a jazz fusion ensemble but I'm shit at guitar

I'm so jelly when I look at ensembles like Snarky Puppy, they look like they're having such a blast.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_XJ_s5IsQc

I listen to so many different types of genres, from metal to pop, jazz and electronic that I barely even know where I want to go with my own guitar playing but jazz fusion seems like the most logical end point.

>>74368009
I-I played it in highschool sorry
