listening to some Roy Eldridge live 1957 right now
my Free online source is jango.com
Danno, no, you never shared that. Awesome. I lived across the street from Aaron Copeland. I wish I knew as much when I was listening to his records from right across the street.
And Al roker in the supermarket in his Pj's. Jk, but he was always the why is he in his Jammies guy.
And we lost our jazz channel this year. Kuvo. I emailed the board. It's not coming back. Super bummed.
My son has the same middle name for a reason.Quote:

right now Red Garland, Bill Evans, and Chet Baker on heavy rotation.
alright alright all the classics are amazing, no doubt, and i still have a good twenty years of jazz listening to do before i can even begin to comprehend the genre. very fair points. i am an interloper here; i played standup for years in highschool and college but fell out of jazz until fairly recently (~3ish years ago).
but - can i get some modern jazz stoke? even for you long-timers, i feel like it's worth giving some of these a spin:
nubya garcia's source - worth a listen - new this year. she's a great saxaphonist, super talented.

kamasi washington on KEXP, he's a total legend, well worth seeing in concert if you have the opportunity:

shabaka hutchings, in the castle of your skin - really talented bandleader with 3+ amazing projects, all of which are very distinct

Absolutely.
There are so many more. All good, old, dead, young, black, white, etc. That is what jazz is about. Creativity and inclusion, even despite it.
This is jazz music, and we require you to invest into this collective experience.
Ellington was a great composer

Between themselves, directly connected, and all they touched who came before and after, you've got a pretty good chunk of the bloodline of Jazz.
And of course you can spend an eternity watching every phase of their (and many others') careers on the 'tube...

Quincy troupe was a professor at the school I went to (UCSD). He claimed that he had heard some of the informal recordings between Davis and Hendrix.
Yusef lateef was a professor at my very very small college at the time I was attending. He opened up a lot of doors for me, and for the world.
Max Roach was down the road at UMASS at the time.
I feel very lucky.
This wasn't even his primary instrument, but I guess that is a slight, because he played so many. Google him please.
If you can't feel that breath in your soul, then your are dead.
I do finally feel that I'm at the point where I could take someone under my wings who gave a damn, and when She asked, I would respond, do you really feel like that, then well, listen to this and come back. And then, do you really feel like that? Then go listen to this, and please come back. Then, Do You Really Feel Like That? Then, don't come back. You have it.
Same goes for skiing as well, but I've already done that. MI.
I would give up legs, but not American Classical. That is how much it means to me.

If you want a little mind blow out, read the Mingus. It will hurt you.
Fair warning.

Yes, it's under that lamp by my bed. I resonate deeply.
I'm floored that there wasn't already a de-facto Jazz thread around here, nice work Basinbeater!
Milt Jackson "Wizard of the Vibes"... essentially Milt playing vibes with the Modern Jazz Quartet and then the Monk quartet. It tickles my brain...
Night Music was too good to last - it was only around for a couple of seasons thirty or so years ago - but man, they had some unbelievably great stuff, on broadcast TV!
The music was definitely eclectic, but there was a program with a few really nice tunes by Miles and his then crew...
https://youtu.be/7U0gDkriczc
The Quintets will always be a gold standard in Jazz, but I dug this period of Miles.
Just like all the others.
Preservation hall with duke dejan.

I'm a hudge fan of George Benson's guitar playing. This song's a nice example. The whole album is pretty good. Featuring Ron Carter on bass.

If you're into New Orleans style Dixie Jazz, check out King Oliver.
Nice, I know him from Miles in the Sky... Looks like I'll have to dig deeper.
listening now, i really dig thisQuote:

I've heard of king oliver, but not familiar. Cueing up on the Nak.

yep agreed, listening to single tracks is dumb for any genre, but especially for jazz.Quote:

But that's why good radio stations should be listened to, through just one song and a good back announce, they'll expose someone you've never heard of and bam.Quote:

how about some chet baker stoke, i fucking love this album

The guy who led the band at my high school was a trumpeter and LOVED Chet. He made us listen to many, many Chet cuts. The album "Chet" is an interesting listen for sure.
Heroin gave us so much good music and also took it away.
Any of you SLC mags ever attend the Jazz at the Sheraton series? They used to have some killer players come through town (presumably they still do.) Lots of great memories from HS and the U listening to masters in that ballroom.
I think the last one I was around for was Christian McBride, an absolute monster.
I wore this CD out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xgJWXFW1vVc
I remember seeing Herbie for the first time back when it was at the Hilton IIRC, among others such as Dave Brubeck, Chick Corea, John Pizarelli, Russell Malone.

and yeah, one of the GOAT trumpeters. he definitely set a high mark.
also y'all should check out this tiny desk concert by nubya, it's dope
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DTIZikaOTDE
sorry for repping the new jazz so hard, there are just so many old timers whose repertoire ends with miles and bitches brew. wanna give the new pioneers some love, since they're doing legit stuff
Went down the youtube hole tonight, starting with the Nubya Garcia Tiny Desk Home, then the Julian Lage Tiny Desk from the archives, which led me to this:

One of my favorite guitarists and this trio is incredible.
Posted this in the Internet Radio thread. Do a search for KMHD Jazz Radio. It is a community radio station out of Mount Hood Community Collage. Really good range of tunes. Wish I could get it in my truck. I have XM radio but I find the jazz options mostly meh, sort of like the jazz the airlines pipe in.
you wana listen to any of the early guys like Bruebek or Miles Davis check out jango.com
Julian Lage is such a monster player. He’s so good that it kinda freaks me out. Been lucky to see his trio play a few shows and it’s such a performance, seems like they switch it up to design different sets for different venues and settings. He is my favorite for now.Quote:

Long time saxophonist here. Majored in music in College and have been studying jazz ever since. Within the past 8 or so years, I have REALLY been digging into Ellington, especially the Blanton/ Webster band. So many monsters in that iteration of the Ellington group; Jimmy Blanton, Harry Carney, Sonny Greer, Otto Hardwick, Johnny Hodges, Ben Webster....
For reference:

This recording is so tight. I could write an essay about everything from Ben Webster's solo to the crazy interplay in the reeds/ brass after the sax soli. This band swings so hard.
A lesser known chart from the same era:

Also on my "must listen to" list is Sonny Side Up. Sonny Rollins, Dizzy, and Sonny Stitt. The Eternal Triangle has one of my favorite tenor battles of all time
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vFCEHliCwhk&ab_channel=RubberSoul
I grew up playing sax through high school. Tenor.
This list of players you wrote out just makes me smile.
I’m putting on Webster.
