Any album recommendations? I’ve listened to a lot of Davis, Mingus, Coltrane, and Monk in the past so I’m familiar with their works but want to dive deeper into the genre

@plants @RVI @op

you heard any of these?

Horace Silver - Song for My Father
Oliver Nelson - The Blues and the Abstract Truth
The Quintet - Jazz at Massey Hall
Andrew Hill - Point of Departure
Duke Ellington - Far East Suite
Soft Machine - Third

Honestly I've just been spinning a spotify playlist for the vibe I want and then adding my favorite songs from those into my own playlists and going from there.

Or like I just hear a song I love and look up the members in that group. Say someone was absolutely slaying the trumpet, okay lemme find out who that was and see what they make under their own name.

Right now I'm getting into bebop and bossa nova listening to lots of Parker, Gillespie, Getz, Thelonious, Gilberto, etc.

Don’t think so I’ll peep these soon actually listening to the Ellington x Coltrane album rn so excited to check out more of his stuff

Ellington is amazing most people would probably agree he peaked way before the LP era but its harder to recommend stuff from that since its all long compilations of singles and stuff, im slowly making my way through them.

the Money Jungle album with Charles Mingus and Max Roach is also really good but it sounds waaay different from his normal stuff

Kings.

(Charles “Bobo” Shaw, Joseph Bowie, Floyd LeFlore, Baikida Carroll, Oliver Lake.)

Sublime.

Lit thank you. I was actually meaning to listen to that Ornette Coleman album so I’m gonna do that today

Roy Hargrove - Earfood
Ahmad Jamal - The Awakening
Lester Young - The President Plays
Bill Evans - Portrait of Jazz
Robert Glasper - Canvas

When ya say fusion jazz, do ya mean like A, B or C?

A) Jeff Lorber (He’s the sound of the PNW Fusion Jazz circuit)

B) George Duke (Thundercat & FlyLo are heavily inspired from him. Amazing musician)

C) Casiopea (uncut gem. Japanese Fusion. Crusin type music)

Easily B and C, I’ve been diving more and more into fusion funk jazz for the last few years. Fun and wonderful discoveries!

And another one!

Just wanted to point out that this was used in the latest episode of Atlanta and it was done well

Bruh that second joint is funky maan that bassline was movin

Been neglecting Sonny Rollins' discography for far too long

I'm always in and out of his discography because there is so much to listen to...but this is one of my favorites

Incredible live album

#6 with Gary Bartz is my favorite of this series, but this is good too

Baikida Carroll is my all-time favorite trumpeter and flügelhornist.

Some Ahmad Jamal trio to start the day
