also, my favorite release would be, without a doubt, pic related

>>53310593
well I guess /jazz/ is dead by now

>>53310543
>Enrico Piernunzi

I like his playing on the few albums of his I've heard. Always cool to see his name pop up on those more obscure European releases. Never heard of Nistico but I'd like to see Sammy Nestico get mentioned more often. He wrote some awesome arrangements. Then again I've never really heard anybody on /mu/ talk about arrangers much at all.

I'm currently listening to vol. 3 of Eric Rasmussen's "School of Tristano" records which is very good.

>>53311405
yeah I've pretty much given up on having any kind of interesting discussion about jazz on /mu/

Can't stop won't stop.

Listening to this for the first time. I've recently been exploring more of Davis's discog... he was one of the first jazz artists I got into, but there's just so much good stuff.

I've had a pretty thorough experience with each of these records:

Birth of the Cool
'Round About Midnight
Kind of Blue
Sketches of Spain
Miles Smiles (LOVE this one, btw)
In a Silent Way
Bitches Brew

Will probably also check out Jack Johnson later today. What other Davis albums do you recommend, /jazz/?

>inb4 entry level

>>53313632
poo, forgot pic

so far, this is like a harsher Bitches Brew

>>53313632
ESP
Sorcerer
Nefertiti

>>53313656
I highily recommend you listen to Get Up With It. It's one of his most overlooked albums. A lot of people were annoyed by it when it came out, but i love it.

I'm listening to Chris Potter Underground Orchestra - Imaginary Cities.

It's possibly aoty 2015

>>53313632
sketches of spain sucks ass

>>53313920
That's like your opinion man. Although it's not his best work I wouldn't say it sucks.

>>53313973
i just think it's just a pretty lame attempt at third stream

>>53313920
Care to give any specific or legitimate criticisms of the music beyond your lame comment?

>>53313887
It's pretty good. I don't know about AOTY though... There are going to be some good jazz albums coming out this year.

>>53313741
>2+ hours of music

Whoa dude. There are definitely albums that CAN sustain my interest for that long, but that's the longest Davis record I've seen.

Personally, I prefer stuff in the 30min to an 1hr range... I think it's easier to feel out an overall vibe on shorter works, and I'm more likely to revisit them often.

>>53314080
I would say it's easily in my top five favorites from Miles. It's really worth the listen.

>>53314040
my comment is what all music criticism amounts to. It's an opinion. There's nothing more that can be said. I think it sucks ass. There's no point in expanding on why I think that. Listen for yourself. Maybe you'll like it. It's certainly a pretty unique album in Davis's Catalog. I just think it sucks.

>>53314211
Jesus Christ

You're what's wrong with jazz threads

>>53314211
if you really feel this way you must hate music

criticizing/discussing/participating in art is a huge part of the experience and can sometimes be as enjoyable or rewarding as the listening itself

>>53314320
I am discussing it. I said it sucks. nuff said.
>>53314305
i am the fractal shape of the universe, the atomic structure emulated by galaxies. I am what's right with jazz threads.

>>53314388
>not posting an album you're currently listening to
Cmon phaggot what are you listening to?

>>53314388
>it sux because I don't like it end of discussion

shit man, you're what's wrong with all of /mu/

>>53314422
I did post. see >>53313887
At least I'm not listening to the same fucking mingus shit that everyone else on this board listens to.
>>53314426
I don't know why I don't like it. I just don't like it. It doesn't tickle my fancy. It's like asking why someone likes cumming. because it feels good. But what about it feels good? idk it just feels really good in my penis when i ejaculate.

>>53314574
So what you're saying is that you're just too lazy and illiterate to discuss any topic beyond surface-level descriptions of sensation?

You can go into a very deep discussion about all the physical, chemical, and emotional aspects that are part of an orgasm and the way that slight variations in any of these aspects causes people to experience sex in different ways.

but you'd rather just leave it at "i like cumming cuz it feels good"

>>53314574
your orgasms suck ass

Hey /jazz/, Should I listen to Count Basie, Johnny Hodges, Brubeck, or my main man Artie Shaw tonight?

>>53315228
Hodges

dat beautiful tone

>>53315267
Castle Rock, here I come!

>>53314388
what is the point in even posting on this board if you really think the deepest musical discussion possible is "X sucks, Y is good because I said so"

?

Does anyone know if a good jazz rendition of A Little Girl From Little Rock from Gentlemen Prefer Blondes exists?

>>53310543
this just came out and it's amazing

>>53310543
Just got out of a clinic with Dave Scott and his quintet. Very strong avant-garde player, super influenced by KD in everything but vocabulary. Nice guy, too.

A lot of his music sounds like Angelica Sanchez's, if that's any comparison.

>>53315785
Ivo Neame is always phenomenal. I take it you're a fan of Avishai Cohen's trio?

>>53316025
his work in phronesis is incredible. and yes, I am

>>53316008
I like Dave Scott a lot. His quintet with Gary Versace and Rich Perry?

Nothing better than this for me.

>>53316053
Phronesis, Cohen, and Neset? Are you me?

I demand that you provide recs of similar groups, I'm always on the look out for that sort of delicious rhythmic stuff.

>>53316077
Reminds me of a George Shearing album cover, fuck I'm gonna listen to Shearing and the Montgomery brothers right fucking now. thank you anon!

>>53316180
you might be the first person I've ever met who has heard of these guys, I'm so happy right now

try rudresh mahanthappa, vijay iyer, the bad plus, steve coleman, steve lehman, chris potter's underground, dave stapleton quintet (although I bet you already know many of these)

>>53310543
don't listen to much jazz but I'm currently listening to Ornette Coleman's 'Free Jazz' and enjoying it a lot

>>53316289
Hey anon I heard that for the first time this year too. I liked it a lot as well, it's such a strong conceptual statement.

>>53316253
You've literally just named my 10 or so favourite contemporary jazzers. Will you marry me?

>>53315785
Listened to this yesterday and I loved it.

>>53316664
yes, yes I will
>>53316865
where have you people been all my life?

>>53316968
shedding.

>>53316253
Have you heard the new Vijay Iyer yet? Downloading it now, will probably give it a few good listens tomorrow.

>>53317066
waiting for mine to come in the mail! still got the new rudresh to listen to though, only just got it

>>53317066
Which one's the new one? Got a rutracker link, or could you upload it somewhere?

>>53316968
I'll bring the handcuffs if you bring the lube.
That's how weddings work, right?

>>53317117
"Break Stuff."
It's out already in Europe, comes out on the 10th in the US. Only the 24/96 is out on what.cd. It's kinda too big to upload. I could try dithering it to a v0, but I haven't really done that before with XLD, and I don't trust it that much.
