Why hasn't there been a jazz club?
Who knows the wonders of New Orleans, Bebop, Ragtime, blues, and all the great stuff?
JAZZ IS PLAYED FROM THE HEART

I like jazz, no matter what person or group is playing, it gives the cafe of bar type of feel xD

if you like jazz, then check out this anime called apollon. i think you'd enjoy it

Ill check that out soon :)
thanks for reccomending :D

Jabberloop is an amazing band. i fell in love with their music immediately. they have a funky sound that i just can't get enough of.

BUMP!

oh deary yes bump i'm in my jazz band at school and it's literally only the kids passionate enough to stick with it, so we get pretty hardcore XD. birdland by weather report will probably forever hold a special place in my heart. also, a jazz-related anime i recently watched was Kids On The Slope, but it also was very mushy, so, beware.

>>5 Thanks for the recommendation, love it.

>>5 any specific pieces that you recommend from Jabberloop?

Brian Culbertson
Marion Meadows
Peter White
Chuck loeb
Rick Braun
Norman Brown
Paul Hardcastle And The Jazzmasters
Kool & Clean
Neils
David Sanborn
Grover Washington Jr.
Greg Adams
Kim Waters
Joe Sample

Listen to these. these are the best jazz ever.

Swing jazz, Jazz blues and Smooth jazz are the ones i like the most~

I think the obvious anime heavy-hitters to mention here are Yoko Kanno(Cowboy bebop and every other jazz anime ever) and Tsuneo Imahori(her guitarist and wrote the theme for Trigun. Personally, my favorite is Tsuneo's project Tipographica:

Also, some of the stuff I listen to all the time is:

Chick Corea, John Coltrane, Joao Gilberto, Joe Pass, Herbie Hancock, Thelonious Monk, Bobby McFerrin, Dave Brubeck, Pat Metheny, and Billie Holiday.
also, for some funky stuff, try Medeski, Martin, and Wood.
There's a smattering of a little of everything in there as far as my taste goes. I really like avant and minimalist and experimental jazz, too, but I don't have many artists to check out in those areas. If anyone can tag me back with some suggestions that would be awesome.

Mostly, I listen to Count Basie and pretty much everything composed by Irving Berlin.

that's all
for now atleast

Joe Pass and Herbie Hancock are good though. Thelonious Monk too, as recommended in >>13
I guess Wes Montgomery hasn't been mentioned yet
and there's this one vid on youtube with Russel Malone playing, pretty neat

so yeah, that's all

I'm not 100% sure George Gershwin counts, since he composed a mix of classical and Jazz, but Rhapsody in Blue is definitely worth hearing.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ynEOo28lsbc

Gershwin counts! His three Piano Preludes are blues:

I was browsing music threads until I came across this! I noticed no one hasn't mentioned Miles Davis. He's a very good jazz composer and trumpet player. I'm sure many of you would remember the album "Kind of Blue."

If you like piano jazz, you can try compositions by Yiruma~ They're awesome~

>>21 so sick of "river flows in you" it's not even funny

really hesitant to listen to anything by yiruma after that

I have some recommendations for jazz music:
Ace Attorney - Turnabout Jazz Soul
The Cat Empire
Durarara OST

Ghibli Jazz- All That Jazz

l'orange .. or maybe that's more trip hop, a few tracks me thinks

I love playing bass for my Jazz Ensemble!
We're thinking about getting a electric upright to play with.
I can't wait to play some Charles Mingus tunes on it!
oh, and you guys should check out David Brubeck, Snarky Puppy, Jaco Pastorius, Bill Evans, Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers, and Charles Mingus is a MUST.

lol sorry about these deletes guys
my computer screwed up and i accidentally sent it multiple times XD

Jazz is great! I'm in jazz band at school and I think I want to do jazz studies as a minor in college. Just this past year I got to meet Russ Phillips (a famous jazz trombonist) it was amazing.

Hey gang, any of you Jazz nuts still out there? What's everyone listening to at the moment?

Hey everyone. Jazz is great! After listening to it for a while, other music seems kinda boring, right? Also i agree with many of you, playing in a jazz band is so fun, we play funk, swing and jazz in mine, it's amazing to hear my band play such good music when im only 15.

The dirty dozen brass band from new Orleans are definitely my favorite band in the genre. Anyone else listen to them?

I listened to Miles Davis' Sketches of Spain last night trying to get to sleep. It kept me up, but in the best possible way.

Interested in listening to more, so if anyone has any recommendations... seriously, the guys body of work is fucking massive, I need help sifting through it.

>>61 You should definitely check out the My Funny Valentine album http://youtu.be/IZx4pnEKOHc

Hey have you guys watched Kids on the Slope? Is an awesome anime that mixes classic Jazz, Bromance and Romance.

>>63 I started watching Kids on the Slope today at your recommendation! It's pretty cute haha And the music element is really fun.

Man, where have I been? All about jazz and just started a band myself. It's only going so far as to read chord charts and improv over a Standards book, though.

My favorite artists lately are Bill Evans, Tony Bennett, Ernestine Anderson, Anita O'Day, Charles Mingus, and many many others. Always good stuff.

>>65 Sounds great man. Standards are the way to go! What's your axe?

I haven't heard of a couple of those, I'll have to check them out.

>>66 Yeah,there's so much to check out that I honestly need to do more hunting! I play both keys and drum kit;just recently went back to kit for fun.

Well, if you want a subgenre of jazz (ska), you should try Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra.

>>68 TSPO is cool, but there are plenty of other bands before them that do about the same thing. Subgenres are cool, but I think this is sticking more or less to true jazz, rather than subgenres.

I really like classical jazz, Charles Mingus, Chick Corea, Charlie Parker and many others, in those time I'm listening BadBadNotGood, Hiromi if some knows, it's really good.

Is free Jazz a thing as well?
I hear its pretty good

>>71 Free jazz is cool, but for people who like more structured music it can be a bit overwhelming.

do you know any good guitar jazz? maybe something like Nick Johnston or Guthrie Govan?

^

Bump

Sadly Eric Clapton is blues hahaha

wanna talk about jazz ? come on the last chat in Coffee and Jazz !

Bump

If anybody is interested, I heard of a group called "the Rumble Kings" and their not half bad.

My jazz knowledge is limited however I listen to alot of Billie Holiday when relaxing and she is an absolute queen

can anyone recommend some good artists?

Body and soul by Sonny Stitt sounds amazing! Lector Young and Charlie Parker are awesome too. Should I really mention Duke Ellington?

Oh! Chameleon by Herbie Hancock and Tank! by The Seatbelt are really good songs as well.

I recently purchased Kamasi Washington's album on a whim. As far as I can tell it's just 3 hour-long discs worth of jamming with some hooks maybe. It's glorious

Also, this is what happens when you mix jazz with post-rock.

Josh Nelson is a very talented artist. His albums are all masterpieces of jazz. Some friends of mine covered one of his works in college and we were all blown away by how intense it was.

>>85 Give me a starter album and I'll give it a listen. I need to get more into jazz but I never know where to look.

Man, I’m surprised nobody’s mentioned artists like Cannonball Adderley, Bill Evans, Glenn Miller, Louis Armstrong, Charlie Parker, Mal Waldron, Ella Fitzgerald, or Chet Baker.

I’m partial to jazz with vocals, and some swing too – particularly Glenn Miller (but that’s mainly because of my granddad).

Chet Baker is among my favorite artists jazz or otherwise – and his album ‘Chet Baker Sings’ is a seminal work of cool jazz and ranks among my favorite albums. (I love it so much I even went and bought in on vinyl.) I’d heartily recommend a listen – the album has such a smooth, lovelorn sound, and Baker’s trumpet is impeccable.

I also love Billie Holiday’s ‘Lady in Satin’ – but that’s a bit of a hard listen, considering how weathered her voice sounded at that point in her life. I don’t really know how to describe it, but the grain and deterioration in her voice carries such emotion – especially on “I’m a Fool to Want You.”

>>87 oh look, a quality post.
I'll just listen to Chey Baker Sings then.

I think there was a vinyl copy at the last JB HiFi I was at

>>87 "Chet Baker Sings" is one of my top favorite albums! I have pretty much Chet's entire discography on my iPod, but that album never fails on me.

Blue foundation : bonfire... The saxophone is played do beautifully there

So*

N recently there was the birthday of "aldophe sax" the inventor of saxophone

bump

Could some of you recommend me some good Bebop piano players? I just know Thelonouis Monk on this field -not sure if he also played bebop - but would like to hear music of others.
