/mu/ - Music (Temp full images)

All right, so I listened to Kind of Blue and really liked what I heard. Also listened to a Sun Ra album, Supersonic Jazz or something. I feel like I could really love this genre, but I have no clue where to go. Halp?

Coolio. Thanks.

Any personal recommendations?

>>51840469
All the ones in the main column are pretty good. Also listen to Thelonious Monk who isn't on that chart.

>>51840223
Love this album. I also love Juju (particularly Mahjong.) Any other albums by him I should check out? Not too fond of the experimental stuff

>>51840396
>Thelonious Monk isn't on that chart.
jtg should be showing up soon to tell you thathe is of no significance and that you should listen to fred hersch and bill evans along with alex sipiagin and chris potter

>>51840601
lol u mad?

>>51840601
>I don't like good artists because they're recent

>>51840693
yea maybe. so?

>>51840711
look, little anon has come to a conclusion and posted it on the internet

>>51840737
why are you mad?

there is no reason to be upset

>>51840768
'maybe' is not a confirmation

>>51840790
>confirmation
i saw what you did there

>>51840790
confirmation does not define indemnity

Welp, this thread is going to shit.

New topic: Thoughts on Sun Ra.

>>51840601
what exactly are you implying?

>>51840223
Eric Dolphy
Don Cherry
Bobby Hutcherson
Charles Mingus
Tony Williams

sun ra is pretty cool guy..
most people who like bebop and it's derivatives would probably not have an interest in mr blount.
he is simply to 'unconventional'
a lot of jazz fans.. educated liberals etc are fairly conservative in their interests .. sonny blount falls outside of the realm
dead heads.. .. sonic youth-type rockers, hipsters.. hippies.. music lovers in general ..
these people are the fan base for the living myth .. well he's not alive any more..

>>51840597
You have to listen to Speak No Evil and Adam's Apple.
Wild Flower is one of my favorite compositions ever.

>>51841111
tl;dr

He's jazz for people who aren't into jazz.

Probably why he's so popular on /mu/

>>51840962
that you go choke yourself on the sexual organ of an expired african american
to put it inb the vernacular: go suck a dead nigger's dick

>>51841180
very succinct my anon

but, by no means do i intend to disparage the great ra

>>51840301
What was your favorite track on KoB? Who was your favorite soloist? Which was your favorite track on the Sun Ra album? What did you want to hear more or less of on those albums?

>>51840223
Max Roach
Mingus
Coltrane

>>51840301
oh and you should listen to fred hersch and bill evans along with alex sipiagin and chris potter

>>51840223
would listen, mingus is out of place there though

>>51841089
again mingus is out of place but not bad

>>51841397
this would be weird

>>51840223
John Coltrane
Freddie Hubbard
Eric Dolphy
Bill Evans
Ron Carter on cello
Richard Davis on bass
Elvin Jones

>>51840923
I love most of his music I've heard but I can see why it doesn't appeal to everyone.

is this thread dead already?

>>51841520
muh nigruh

>>51841397
interesting

mr roach was a bebopper from way back.. trane too. mingus appears to be the oddball, but consider his past and it makes perfect sense. man, bud poweel would be thepianist i'd choose for this band

>>51841951
yes, just like the music itself

>>51842119
wankspammer? is that you?

Ok, I'm a bit of a jazz pleb, and I need some help.
I'm really into:
Miles Davis (In a Silent Way, Bitches Brew, Seven Steps to Heaven, Kind of Blue)
Charles Mingus (Blues & Roots, Mingus Ah Hum, The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady, Mingus Plays Piano)
Sun Ra (Lanquidity)
and Also some Chick Corea, Wes Mongomery, and Return to Forever

Where do I go from here?

>>51840223
I want a free jazz album that is Eric Harland and Foley in a studio together just dicking around and playing whatever.

>>51842151
si

>>51842207
lol weird mane

Can someone recommend a modern version of Charlie Parker (if there is one)?

>>51842207
I'd like to hear Harland really cut loose in a free jazz setting. Maybe with Orrin Evans and somebody like Tim Warfield or Myron Walden

>>51842374
Do you mean an alto player who plays and sounds similar to Charlie Parker or somebody who shaped and influence music in the same way that Parker did?

Actually there is nobody in the present jazz climate who comes close to Parker's influence and effect on the jazz world so I'll just recommend somebody who plays in a style similar to Parker: Vincent Herring.

Check out friendly fire by Eric Alexander and Vincent Herring.

You might also like Jesse Davis.

Shame Bird's life was full of shit decisions

>>51842502
agreed. imagine being one of the greatest saxophonists and the world and selling your instrument for drug money

>>51842579
Then again every jazz artist back then was hooked on heroin.

>>51842374
>modern
Sonny Stitt

>>51842591
Yeah but most of them could at least maintain a somewhat functional, if not healthy, semblance of a life... at least until they could switch over to coke.

It just makes Dolphy's death seem even more tragic though... One of the few guys who stays completely away from drugs and he ends up dying because the hospital staff assumed he must have just been an OD'd junkie jazz musician.

>>51842746
Eric Dolphy is to jazz as Micheal Brown is to . eh.. um.. thugs .. ?

>>51842653
>>51842374

ah well then there's also Phil Woods

He's still around. Not only can he play just like Bird, he also married his widow.
