mjmooney Posted September 3, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted September 3, 2012 It'll be interesting to see what people like. So far, it's largely hard bop/modal (which is fine by me). Although I haven't checked b6bloke's suggestions yet. Anybody going to post any 20s/30s/40s stuff? Or - gulp - free jazz? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

veloman Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 I find Miles Davis a bit hard to listen to sometimes - actually prefer Dizzy Gillespie. Except for : (or perhaps Dana Gillespie) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except for : (or perhaps Dana Gillespie) Never really listened to much of his later stuff. I'd agree that some is a bit meh...e.g. Sketches of Spain, but there's something magical about Kind of Blue. I could listen to it every day and not get tired of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 How wide can we stretch the definition of jazz? I think this 1982 classic is jazz, but then I'm not great on pigeon holes so I could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could listen to it every day and not get tired of it. Kind of Blue is one of those albums that transcend genre. But like another that fits that category - Van Morrison's Astral Weeks - it's a one-off, quite different from the rest of his catalogue. TBH I like pretty much everything that MD ever did, at least up to the 80s & 90s when he started mixing in pop and rap. Sketches of Spain is a belter. Then again I love all the Gil Evans MD productions - even Quiet Nights, which most MD fans seem to dismiss out of hand. As for Dizzy Gillespie, he was great, and I have several of his albums, but I find him a bit on the brash and shrill side at times. For the perfect bridge between the two extremes, Clifford Brown was the man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Rikki Don't Lose That Number" - excellent So - any excuse to listen to SD http://youtu.be/_MlLG0_Qgp8 Sort of jazz and written about Charlie Parker - peerless musicianship.

veloman Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Urban fact - Rikki Lee Jones lived in Arizona and the skies always had little fluffy clouds in them. OK . Urban fact No.2 The incomparable Steve Gadd played drums on Chuck E's In Love. I would sell my Tiger Tim Club badge and join the Cliff Richard fan club to be able to play like Gadd.
