literally who

Sonny Stitt, David Sanborn, Kenny Garrett

There's so many fantastic players out there who don't make original music that I always default to older players. Its a habit I need to break but there are so many, its overwhelming

What's the verdict on her? Heard her first album and really liked it, very energetic.

She's a decent player but I find her playing tasteless most of the time. She just plays too much and should edit herself better.

wtf this is fantastic, thank you to whoever aggregated that


Art pepper is up there, he has such a terse and fun play style.

Recently heard Tipico, and then liked it so much I listened to his earlier stuff. Really liked it.

Could you please recommend me some good jazz books?
I'm looking for biographies of artists not so much for history books.

Thank you /jazz/

which one do you want?

Miles Davis autobiography to start with, some great insights into the jazz world and his musical outlook. It's great if you want to find more jazz artists to listen to, it helped me get into bebop a lot more

There's a book I have called Free Jazz that has a good document on players like Coltrane, Coleman and Sun Ra but it's maybe not as good for historical studies as it is for musical studies. Lots of transcriptions by the author and a breakdown of their playing styles, but nothing like interviews or biography. I think the best way to learn jazz history is to start with documentaries on players you like. There is one on Coltrane and Monk, plus interviews are great. Miles Davis has a lot of fascinating interviews on YouTube

Thank you. I'll already wanted to start with Miles anyways.

Ascension by Eric Nisenson, it's about Coltrane.

Why have I never once seen Lee Konitz mentioned in a /jazz/ thread before?

Sharp composition, very close chord changes five chords through a tone, melody trying to break the .. you know? just works

what are you trying to say exactly?

What are some noise jazz recs? I love stuff like Brotzmann Octet's Machine Gun.

I hear Sun Ra is like this but what albums should I look for?

I usually don't dig monk but this is pretty good, thanks.

If only his music was as interesting as his autobiography. It's just goofy gimmick shit that's as superficial as his autobiography.
