Re: Jazz Thread

Re: Jazz Thread
I concur. More real r'n'b and soul IMO.
I'll take more contemporary acid jazz over the elders in the school.

Mainstream Jazz for sure, but still Jazz.

Re: Jazz Thread
^ Wanted to go that one. Glad to hear it was good.
Can't wait for Mulatu Astatke at the forum in a couple of weeks.
Sorry YI, I haven't heard "Frank" so I was thinking of her soul stuff. Reminds me to track it down - thanks!

I'd never really been to anything like it before. Very exciting.
He sounds like a really, really, really out-there guy. Very science fiction.

Re: Jazz Thread
usual suspects - hancock, davis etc.
Quite like The Necks, although purists would not call it jazz.

Re: Jazz Thread
Could talk for ever about jazz - in jazz lingo to boot. Dad was a connoisseur, no other way to put it. His vinyl collection was astounding. Why I don't have it now is a nightmare of a story I don't care to repeat. It's Jazz. Lots of blue note stuff, free jazz all the way through to the horn greats. It have no doubt that been the basis for a lot of my taste in tunes.
Jazz should not be defined - Jazz music can be a loose as the players who try to interpret it. It is a concept, and an abstract one at that.
I love original jazz, especially horn stuff. Louise Armstrong is so popular for a reason. Was he Irish?
I love all new styles of jazz too. HipHop - Jazz hop. DJ Krush and all the offspring of the Japanese hiphop jazz movement. I dig a lot of the remix stuff. Some of it is crap, but there are a lot of remixes which add my current taste in music to the old flavour.
Parov Stelar is a great example of what I like about new jazz.
I'll do a mix.

Re: Jazz Thread
Look forward to hearing it, I have a few of your mixes and they're all great
My grandfather, like your father, was a jazz nut with an enviably large collection. He died before I was born, but I've been lucky enough to take possession of a handful of those records. I'm not as well read as you Dboy, but through listening to grandpa's stuff, I too have developed a fondness for the horn greats. Louis Armstrong's music is like medicine for the soul. For those that don't know, give C'est si Bon or Jeepers Creepers a spin. I think I posted this in the other jazz thread, but Sonny Rollins is the one for me, and St Thomas is one of those tunes that just lifts me up, each and every time

Thanks mate. Here is the mix. http://forum.melbournebeats.com/viewtop ... =6&t=20290
Ended up being a little more obscure than jazz really. But that is all in the opinion...
Dad would have hated this being called jazz of any kind. I am not a purist at all. I believe everything is jazz - especially life.
It is the greatest word in the English language.

Sonny Rollins is great, aroes, no doubt. I love Saxophone Colossus, and The Bridge is likewise awseome.
I'm so excited about seeing Mulatu Astatke tonight, I may wet myself!

Re: Jazz Thread
so true.... was having this conversation the other day, that Jazz is one of those rare artforms that is truly at its best when it is off the cuff, spontaneous..DBoy wrote: Jazz should not be defined - Jazz music can be a loose as the players who try to interpret it.

Where you can pay to go and see an artist and literally give yourself over to what ever they choose to serve up, where as (personally) with most other musical forms, people always go along wanting to hear this tune or that... know what i mean..
and my biggies - as an ex trumpet student, Miles Davis of course!
Theloneous Monk tho... WOW he is awesome.
Both of these guys are always on my iPoo
