Jazz Music
 

I need some recomedations... what say you???

I want to put a nice play list on the new I-Pod. I like more of a heavier sound, not really the smooth stuff... if that makes sense

Re: Jazz Music
 

I always go for Miles Davis, John Coltrane, and then some of the old big band Ellington.


Miles Davis - check out both A Kind of Blue album and B!tches Brew album

Re: Jazz Music
 

Herb Alpert, Buddy Rich, Louis Armstrong:tu

Re: Jazz Music
 

If by heavier you mean brass sound, then this list is the way to go:tu

Re: Jazz Music
 

Thelonious Monk, Bud Powell, Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Charles Mingus, Lee Konitz... There are simply too many greats to name.

You may be too far away from Newark to pick up WBGO, the public radio jazz station @ 88.3 FM, but they have a website, wbgo.org, that can give you alla info you will ever need about jazz. Plus, you can listen online and listen to see what you like.

FYI, I just checked them out, and they are presently live at the Newport Jazz Festival. Guess I'll leave it on for a while. :D

Re: Jazz Music
 

I been streaming for about 45 min. and I must say... :tu

I'm really enjoying the tracks with the bongo/conga type drum beats. I believe they refer to it as Afro-Cuban... Good stuff!!!

Re: Jazz Music
 

WBGO is one of the best jazz stations you will find - save when they are doing their NPR-type beg-a-thons. Glad you are enjoying it. ;)

Re: Jazz Music
 

Also, if you have Comcast digital service, you have several jazz stations in the music area. Also, check out in the digital section the BET Soul programming, some good jazz pops up there once in a while.:tu

Re: Jazz Music
 

Thanks Andrew... First my eating habits, then my music :rl :rl :rl

Re: Jazz Music
 

If you want to stream any kind of music, try sky.fm :tu

Personally, I like instrumental jazz. A few of my favorites are the Rippingtons, Sypro Gyra, and Lee Ritenour. Some would call this "smooth jazz", but I find the styles that the Rippingtons play change through their playlist. My favorite album is their "Live in L.A." concert disk. There are quite a few videos of their performance in L.A. on youtube. :D




:dance:

Re: Jazz Music
 

Glad I could help with some yazz flute. :r


Seriously I lean more to the funk the side of jazz but check some some Quincy Jones (Big Band Bossanova), Herbie Hancock (Head Hunters), Deodato, John Scofield and newer stuff from Galactic, Soulive, Medeski, Martin and Wood and The Budos Band. Yeah, definitly check out the Budos Band.

Re: Jazz Music
 

Thanks again guys... I guess I have some research to do.

Always so many options when you start listening to a new genre of Music. I consider myself to listen to a very wide range of music.

I'm really digging the Jazz lately

Re: Jazz Music
 

Diggin' the Budos Band... Nice Funk/ Jazz Fusion sound...

:tu

Thanks Andrew

Re: Jazz Music
 

Staten Island's Finest. Enjoy. :tu

Re: Jazz Music

Cannonball Adderley
Art Blakey & the Jazz Messengers
Charles Mingus

For Afro-Cuban & Latin:
Afro-Cuban All Stars
Tito Puente
Arturo Sandoval
Eddie Palmieri

For Jazz Fusion, try:
Mahavishnu Orchestra

Or PM me & I'll send some smokin samplers.:)

Re: Jazz Music
 

Thanks Smokin5,

And PM Sent

Re: Jazz Music

You won't be dissapointed.:tu

Re: Jazz Music
 

Bill Chase (Got to get it on!)
Maynard Ferguson
Buddy Rich

If you've never heard of Bill Chase do yourself a favor and search youtube and Wikipeadia.

Re: Jazz Music
 

I need to correct my post from yesterday, the correct title for Isaac Hayes is Black Moses. He leans more toward funk/soul in his music but has some nice jazz riffs in his stuff as does the Alan Parsons Project and John Mayall. Fairport Convention, Herbie Mann and the Memphis Underground, Modern Jazz Quartet, George Benson, and Paul Butterfield are a few of the more modern performers who stray a bit off the reservation.:tu

Re: Jazz Music
 

:r:r:r

Re: Jazz Music
 

Is that the same Chase as in the 1970 hit "Get It On"?

Maynard Ferguson's 1976 cover of "Invitation" has an interesting history in Chicago television...I think the video's still out on Youtube.

Re: Jazz Music
 

check out Freddy Hubbard.

Re: Jazz Music
 

You guys are really hooking me up!!!

Been doing a lot of listening!!!

All great stuff. Thanks again :tu

Re: Jazz Music
 

You might also like bossa nova style.

I recommend the album Getz/Gilberto, which has the famous original rendition of The Girl from Ipanema. This features Stan Getz on tenor.

I love the tone that Getz has from his sax. I also recommend the album Jazz Samba featuring Stan Getz and guitarist Charlie Byrd.

Re: Jazz Music
 

I would check out last.fm. Search for some of your favorite artists and click on their radio. It will play music by said artist and others that are similar.

Also I would add to your list
We Insist! Max Roach's Freedom Now Suite by Max Roach
The Shape Of Jazz To Come by Ornette Coleman
also some
Charles Mingus
Bud Powell
Thelonious Monk

quick edit
also
Money Jungle by Duke, Mingus, Roach

Re: Jazz Music
 

You guys are great... So much great music out there for me to discover :tu

Re: Jazz Music
 

If you're into jazz guitar pick up the album:

The Incredible Jazz Guitar or Wes Montgomery

Arguably the greatest Jazz guitarist of all time, and there have been some great/out of this world Jazz and Fusion guys. The tone he has is lovely.:tu

Re: Jazz Music
 

I would recommend Sooner Legend and fantastic jazz musician Wayman Tisdale. RIP Wayman!

Re: Jazz Music
 

Another vote for Miles! Now, I have to check out the other suggestions. :lv

Re: Jazz Music
 

By the time Coleman Hawkins recorded Body and Soul in October 1939, jazz had been around for at least a generation, evolving into the swing and stomp of the Big Bands from the ragtime and blues of its roots, with these themselves rooted in the call-and-response of spirituals and work songs of a previous era. But this one recording was in itself a quantum jump, as it was unprecedented in the way the song itself was so quickly and completely subsumed by the free-form innovation of the saxophonist to the point of total and unrecognizable abandonment. Soloists had riffed and improvised for decades . . . hell, for centuries even . . . yet none had dared to go so many steps beyond before. This one recording was the seed of what we know as jazz today, leading directly to Bird and Miles and onward.
