bossa nova is best jazz

Yea I've been listening to jazz since '15

>>54526946
That's one of my favorites. Can't play it often though because I've played it to death.

>>54527072
>since 15

fixed

>>54526946
>that being your favorite jazz album
>not wearing a fedora
Pick one.

I added a fuckton of jazz to my library, most of which I haven't gotten to yet. I've got tons of Miles (including a collection of 8 mono recordings), Mingus, Monk, Coltrane, Hancock, and a smattering of others.

Latest listen was Miles' On the Corner, which I didn't think was one of his better ones.

>>54526946
the dudes deliver

>>54527208
hey
nobody cares

the inflated tear has a special place in my heart

Haven't listened to enough jazz to think I have a valid opinion on whats good and what isn't, but the piano on this album is absolutely glorious.

>listening to jazz
>not wearing a fedora
Choose your adventure.

I don't listen a lot but I really like this one

>>54528439

>mfw when generic taste

>>54528546
Elis & Tom
Antonio Carlos Jobin - Wave
João Gilberto - O Amor O Sorriso e a Flor
Look for stuff written by Vinicius de Moraes

>>54527050
>>54528546
it's called bossa nova. Antonio Carlos Jobim and Joao gilberto are great starting places. The former sings less, but his stuff is arranged very thick and the latter sings almost every song but it can be very minimalist

>>54528408
Jazz should be critiqued liked any other music. Just because you're uniformed it doesn't mean you don't have an album that is your current favorite. Bill Evans is great to check out no matter what.

there was a thread about this album like an hour ago. it's entry-level mingus and no one is proud of you for discovering it

>>54529331
what a pointless comment

>>54529331
well i didnt see the thread. and this thread isnt about mingus. and idgaf.
who said anything about discovering? i just said its my favorite album atm.
get the fuck out you dumb cunt.

I don't listen to much jazz, but someone shared this one is a sharethread not too long ago, and I've been loving it since.

Anything similar?

>>54529900
basically the same personnel with the same feel, thick horn lines, polyphony, a 'contemporary' jazz sound. Not to mention gary smulyan shreads the bari sax

Probably this one.

Does this count?

>>54530200
No.

>>54527050
bossa nova is shit.

>>54530422
Does this count?

Best Jazz for spring?

>>54526946
prob coltrane's ascension idk too many greats

>>54528408
Thanks, I had never really heard of this Bill Evans until you mentioned him. Turns out he played on the album I was going to post.
Sad about Bill's life, what heroin giveth, heroin taketh away.

>>54528408

check out their live recordings at village vanguard. also ahmad jamal.

>>54530616
miles in the sky. brubeck a la mode.

>>54526946
>If you listen to jazz, and you dont wear fedoras
was that even necessary?
can you live without memes?

>that spanish infuzed jazz album every one made in the early 60's

sketches of spain, tijuana moods, Olé Coltrane. the list goes on. They are all so good.

also Otomo Yoshihide's New Jazz Ensemble- Dreams is really fucking good
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UvmVjsiZmDA

>>54534405
God fucking damn it i had a response written out to this basically agreeing with you and talking bout motherfuckers cant be fucking sincere in this place, but it got deleted cuz my computers a fuckboy.

>Everything i dont like is memes. (not against you man, im talking about people who call albums "meme-rap" and shit like that cause they're to lazy to articulate why they dont like something)

>My musical tastes are the authority.

This place has so much potential but everyone puts on a show, posts lazy, or just trolls.

you fucking fags.
You fucking fags.

>>54535110
lmao calm down my man
still I agree

>>54535110
:'(

Giant Steps is my favorite, I think. Too many to count.

I've been enjoing pic related (Masada - Live in Sevilla 2000)

>>54535149
ik, felt like ranting though

>>54535168
wipe those tears, homie. Music's still good, regardless of how the listeners act.

>>54535110
hey, i didnt mean to type that last part twice, im not a retard i swear

>>54526946

>>54526946

This album is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo good like damn

What are the best jazz albums so far of the year and any you are looking forward to?

I just love it.

fuggin beautiful

>>54538674
>''mu'' first part
meal, indie, prog, art music and exploration and great community

>''mu'' second part
memerap, memes and shitposting

>>54538715
kek

>>54538699
Just came to post this. Good taste bro.

>>54538954
thx, looking forward to listen to their whole discography today

Why isn't anyone talking about the best flute player in the jazz game?

My favorite is probably Mingus Ah Um

>>54527141

underated post

It never gets old.

Gil Evans is really good.

>>54527050
This is a perfect album.

>>54529582
yeah but how many other mingus albums have u heard pleb? I bet heard you have just BSATSL and thought "wow i sure do get it, jazz amirite guiz"

fuck off

>>54531982
>kind of blue

STOP POSTING UNTIL YOU HAVE GOTTEN DEEPER INTO JAZZ PLZ ITS SO BORING TALKING TO PEOPLE WHO HAVE JUST LISTENED TO KIND OF BLUE

>>54540351
that album sounds so playful and innocent; I love it

its may not be the best jazz album but I fucking love it.

I've been a jazz person for quite some time now.
Davis, Coltraine, the list could go on..

>>54541331
have you heard word of mouth? liberty city is a perfect song

same album, op :^)

yes, i am thereby asking to be spoonfed

i realize not all of this is jazz, but it gets the point across i guess

this one's also quite nice
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F333W-p6ZZk

>>54541877
I like paavo. Try a band called mogil, they're traditional icelandic folk with a notale jazz influence. They also have an ambient approach. Their albums are slow burning but well worth the listen

>>54539062
>Why isn't anyone talking about the best flute player in the jazz game?

Yeah! I love Roland Kirk!

>>54542080
that's not herbie mann. And what is that intruguing sax on the left?

>>54526946
Surely getting bonus points for best album title + cover here

>>54526946
That album is Top 5 for me, depending on my mood.

>>54528408
If you like that album, you really need to delve into pic related.

>>54528693
Ain't nothing wrong with liking classic albums.

>>54530071
Permanent Top 3 album for me. It's just so damn cool. Tony Williams's drumming and John McLaughlin's guitar work are both second to none.

>>54542117
Haaa

I believe it's a King Saxello.

Fusion jazz doesn't get enough attention around here.

I saw Al Di Meola about a month back. He still kills it. The only disappointing thing in the concert was him bad-mouthing Chick. I know they've always had this feud, but it just seemed petty to shit on him in some random show.

>>54542117
Mann is damn good too, but I definitely enjoy McNeill's phrasing more
Bobby Jaspar would also be a strong competitor

I joined a really hot big band recently. They've got a whole bunch of Buddy Rich charts in their repertoire, so this has been getting a pretty solid listen to lately.

Really digging into Joe Lovano's nonet stuff.

>>54542211
Dude's a beast, actually they all are. Shame they don't do new stuff, they are stellar musicians.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9M05Q02y4SU

These cats are always doing something cool. Interesting trio to begin with, guitar, sax and piano accordion. The level of interplay they share is just on another level. Always support one another without stepping on any toes. The result is beautiful.

http://www.lionsharecords.com/track/i-believe-this-belongs-to-you

Pleb alert, can someone here help me into Chet Baker?

>>54542376
Chick is phenomenal to see live, especially when he gets outside of his comfort zone. I saw him a few years back with Bela Fleck, just the two of them acoustic, and it was mind blowing.

>>54542545
funny you mention bela fleck. I've seen them posted here once, and I was the one who posted it. He just came to my state with a mandolin player but I was broke and couldn't go. But Bela fleck and the flecktones is one of my favorite fusion groups. I especially like the live tours they did with paul hanson on bassoon

Anyone here into Pharoah Sanders?

My absolutely favorite jazz musician.

Since it talks fusion in here, I can recommend this album

>>54542609
Fucking love them, man, my favorite too.
What's your favorite album?

>>54542643

Tough call, I love Africa just because the opening track sends chills down my spine, but in all honesty all his work is terrific. A Prayer Before Dawn is great for the atmosphere and Journey to the One is nice if you're looking for something more lightweight.

>>54542641
Never heard that one. I'll give it a listen.

These guys are awesome.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BRnLLew5Odw

>>54528408
Actually it's not all the piano here. Scott Lafaro was an outstanding double bass player and pretty much changed the game with his counter-melodies.

It's a fucking shame he died at 25.

guys, you are always discussing classics and free jazz stuff. let's share more obscure stuff, it's also good.

>>54542876
my supreme nigga.

no one gives a fuck

I think you guys will dig Barney McAll's stuff.

>>54543017
>rosenwinkel approved
oight.

>>54530071
This is hands down the greatest jazz album ever made

>>54528408
>white "Jazz"
Fuck off retard.

Have to go with this one.

>>54543503
BItch call the cops.

>>54543656
You are boring.

>>54542287
What do you play? Drummer here, just starting to get the hang of jazz drums.

>>54542797
nice! Joe has to be the best guitarist of all time

>>54543799
>the best
>poor dynamic range

This.

>>54543862
Oooh

I'm rather partial to a bit of this.

Never see any Jason Moran come up. Absolutely killed it at a late night jam I went to. Then Justin Faulkner got up on drums and all hell broke loose.

>>54542519
no, go away

>>54541877
Are you amg or just a drone?

>>54526946
>>54530071
These make up my top 3 along with pic related.

>>54543656
>>54543740
its the best jazz album indeed

>>54540379
underrated post

Comfy album

>>54542848
Amazing Album
/mu/core IMO

>>54526946

that's one of my favorite albums

i also really like sun ra's lanquidity, hancock's sextant and 'gok' by bill wells & mahar shalah hash baz. it's a really special album, kind of infantile, yet absolutely brilliant.

lately i've been listening to a lot of bill evans and jon hassel.

>>54527208

>someone likes an acclaimed classic
>has to be wearing a hat

>>54528408

one of his greatest

>>54544380
entry level stuff for noobs.
ps, trane is good.

>>54542264

none of those people are yusef lateef

>>54544361

great pick, probably my favorite of his

>>54544487
>/mu/core imo
summer is here?

>>54544487
>/mu/core IMO

>>54543017
I just put this album on and it's pretty nuts. Aguas Cristalinas is probably literally perfect

>>54529287
american hustle core

>>54542287
Not my tempo

>>54527050
Fantastic choice.

>>54541231
this is unnecessarily elitist. Don't think you've *earned* the right to love Black Saint and the Sinner Lady just because you *might* have heard more Mingus than him.

>>54526946
>Does anybody listen to jazz anymore?
yes. i also play it... never owned a fedora.

some of you have posted cool records.. others.. not so much *shrug* .. listen to what you like.

ps, you're ll plebs unless you actually play this music and being enrolled in music school doesn't count.

>>54546514
i guess that mingus is not only the black saint album.

>>54541331
I think this is the album that got me into jazz

>>54540351
Dinah makes me want a gf so bad

>>54526946
Trying to learn how to play jazz bass (guitar). One day I'll be able to play along to Moanin'.

>>54546882
it's just a few chords anon...

but seriously: start with the blues. learn how to play through a 12-bar blues, it's a great starting point and will help you once you start to work on standards.

also, find a teacher man - that will really help you a lot

Guys let's step out of the obvious babby's first jazz please.

Personal favorite of mine.

>>54548244
me too m8
