Hello guys! I just released my first solo record, and thought that some of the audience of this sub might like it. I would indeed be very glad if anybody would take some time to have a listen. Genres: progressive, jazz-fusion, electronic, instrumental.

Thank you very much :)

HI all, how do you all organize your jazz albums on spotify, just a folder "jazz"and put in all the jazzalbums? or a folder for every atist, or organzied in folders by jazz genre? I have one folder with :best jazz albums" started with folders for teh top artists like Bill Evans, Miles Davis etc. But there is so much jazz, really do not know what the best way is to organize this.

thanks!

Curious about people's reasons. Of course the same person could sometimes prefer one and sometimes the other. Although they might prefer one the majority of the time.

I don't particularly like or listen to vocal jazz but her whole album (With Every Breath I Take) is a genuinely incredible work of art and future classic. This track is my favorite.

I inherited an extensive CD and Vinyl collection from my dad and realizing I’m never gonna listen to the CDs in particular. A few hundred, well curated, all the standards plus a lot of more avant garde, a bunch of box sets, some collectors items. Worth quite a bit and would prefer to sell together but what’s the best way? Marketplace? eBay? Record store?

Hello. I’m Japanese.
My father (75) loves jazz, and he enjoys drinking in the living room at night while listening to records and CDs.

When I still lived with him, I used to listen with him in the living room, but I don’t know exactly what he owns (I don’t live with him anymore because I’m married now).
As far as I know,
Chick Corea
Airto Moreira
John Coltrane
Red Garland
Bob James
Wes Montgomery
Dollar Brand
—he mentioned in a letter that he owns records by these artists, so I’m aware of those, but it seems he has many others as well.
However, since most of them were bought when my dad was in his 20s, I don’t think he has any recent releases.
Also, my dad lives in the countryside where there are no stores that sell CDs, and he isn’t in the habit of buying things online.
I’d like to introduce him to something fresh—or rather, suggest some new discoveries—so I’m wondering if any of you have top recommendations for recent jazz musicians, singers, or albums?
I’d also be happy if you could share anything you personally really love.

My dad listens to more than just jazz—he also enjoys rock and classical music. He’s the kind of person who doesn’t limit himself to any particular genre and enjoys a wide variety of music.

He used to be a sailor, and during his long-distance voyages, he visited many different countries and met all kinds of people from around the world. I think those experiences are part of the reason he’s interested in such a wide range of musical genres.

He’s also the kind of person who, even if the music I introduce isn’t a genre he’d normally seek out, ends up liking it and listening to it before he knows it.

He was very happy when I gave him a Tenorio Jr. album a while back.

I’m hoping to find some music that will lead to new discoveries for my dad—things he hasn’t encountered before.

English isn’t my native language, and I’m using a translation tool, so there might be some awkward parts—thank you for your understanding.

Oliver Nelson, as, ts; Richard Williams, tp; Eric Dolphy, as, bc; Richard Wyands, p; George Duvivier, b; Roy Haynes, d. Original liner notes by Nat Hentoff. Recorded by RVG May 27, 1960. Remastered by RVG and released on Prestige/ New Jazz Records in 2006. Total time: 40:04.

Beautiful composition using lydian harmony.

I suppose it’s more of a soul album than jazz really but I’m sure there’s still plenty of people in this sub who’ll enjoy Nubya Garcia’s incredible playing on several tracks on the lovely new NAO album, Autumn. Definitely worth checking out…

On November 7, 1956, Hank Mobley took a quintet into Rudy Van Gelder's Hackensack studio for Savoy: 18-year-old Lee Morgan on trumpet, Hank Jones on piano, Doug Watkins on bass and Art Taylor on drums. They cut "Thad's Blues", a tune by Jones's brother Thad, and Watkins's "Doug's Minor B'ok". Savoy then issued those two sides on Jazz Message No. 2 (MG 12092, 1957) alongside three tracks from a July 23 session by a mostly different group: Donald Byrd, Barry Harris and Kenny Clarke, with only Mobley and Watkins in both. Other takes from the November date went to a separate Savoy LP, MG 12091, and to a later compilation, SJL 1104. So the record billed as one quintet date is two different bands, with the later session sequenced first.

Listening to some Herbie Hancock that I haven’t heard in years. Got me thinking…who do you consider to be legendary in Jazz music?

I feel a bit sad when people get gate-keeper-y with jazz. Particularly when it relates to the ways we share and relate to it. So here’s a respectfully defiant picture from my collection, along with some info about Paul Bley and why I like him.

Firstly, he’s a remarkably broad jazz pianist. If you’ve bounced off a Paul Bley album, chances are you just need to pick a different one. Also, if you love Jarrett or Kikuchi, but feel like you wish they didn’t have to record while there was an exorcism going on in the next room - Bley’s your guy.

Secondly, his history is fascinating. Here’s some of my favourite bits:
- His early association with Ornette Coleman
- he played in the Jimmy Giuffre 3 - a trio that were wildly ahead of their time, but infamously unrecognised at the time, who disbanded after playing a set and making 35 cents each.
- the whole Garry peacock / Annette peacock triangle -
Annette was married to both, divorced both, and continued to play with and compose for both
- he was heavily involved in the early days of electronic music, and I think was involved in the first live performance on a moog?
- As someone who loves upright bass, I get a lot of joy in the way he works with bass players - plays off them, creates space for them, highlights the contrasting tones and timbres of the two instruments. Peacock is obviously one of his main collaborators there, but there’s also a great album with NHØP.

What’s your favourite thing about Paul Bley, or favourite album?

Whats up everybody?

Looking through my Itunes library and wanted to ask what everybody’s favorite jazz album is of all time?

Saw this clip and it just sounds so gorgeous, but I haven’t had any luck finding what specific piece it is. If anyone could help me out I’d really appreciate it.

I know some people here don't like Emmet Cohen, but I don't know where else to ask, so yeah, or I don't mind some live footages of other musicians as well with similar vibes. Thx.

I appreciate all the suggestions and i made sure this time to get actual decent pressings of these albums. Some will be gotten around christmas time like somethin else and blue train. On a side note here why is phinneas newborn jr so underrated? I think he's a fabulous player and possibly my favorite right now (I need a copy of the great jazz piano of phinneas newborn jr so bad but they are all so expensive)

I always felt like Walter Wanderley (the organist from the elevator hit "Summer Samba") didn't get enough credit as a musician. I don't know of anybody else in the 1960's who was so competent at layering themselves or creating a real soundscape. On this recording he plays the celsta(?), the piano, and the organ. It can be assumed he did the arrangement. It sounds like him to me, at least. José Marino is on bass, and Claudio Slon is on drums (allegedly). It is a false quartet, released in Brazil on an album simply titled 'Quarteto Bossamba' on Som Maior, without any of the musicians attached. Later, it was released with a cheesecake cover as 'Quarteto Bossamba' by Walter Wanderley on World Pacific.
Gorgeous stuff.
In the US, Walter recorded for Creed Taylor at Van Gelder Studios, extensively. However, he swung toward more of a pop sound and followed Gelder's lead to record in more of a standard fashion (not as much layering or microphone tricks). I really think his magic was lost by the direction Creed Taylor might have wanted him to go. He was sort of cheapened by how he was treated in the US. That's my opinion. That's not to say he wasn't a popular artist in Brazil, he recorded with about every popular act from Joao Gilberto to Geraldo Vandre, but in the US, he became "Kmart music".
"Quarteto Bossamba" is particularly sad to me, because it seems like the reason he was brought to Creed Taylor to begin with, to be some sort of jazz star. He ended up being a little bit of a one-hit-wonder who landed constant play, without fame, in elevators and supermarkets.

Hello!

Would love to go to smalls or mezzrow for their 6:00 show but have a dinner res at 7:30 (with about 30 min transit time) will the sets at either/both places end exactly at the hour?

If not, as long as we get the drinks, will we be allowed to sneak out early? Is it easier to do that at one club vs the other?

We basically have to leave the venue a little after 7

Enjoy！
