Jazz

[Quantum State]

Never had any interest in Jazz as an 80's Synth guy however ....

Thought I would give it a go while having an evening on Apple Music a couple of weeks ago.

Not stopped playing it since now just about always on in the background.

I've no idea what I'm playing just random playlists on Apple but I'm finding it so relaxing.

Wife absolutely hates it and I do mean hate but for my little man room I'm sure its lowered the blood pressure !

nice..

Really nice.

Depends what you're listening to though, jazz is a broad church - if you're a synth guy, this is jazz: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_XJ_s5IsQc#t=4m18...

I could have put £100 on knowing what that was before I clicked the link :-)

Haha yeah, it's one of the top improvised solos ever recorded, definitely the best synth solo I've heard. The overall structure is likely a bit premeditated, and the outro licks are just crazy like he could have gone on forever.

It's the broadest of churches but you should listen to, at least once, these.

Kind of Blue (Miles Davis)
A Love Supreme (John Coltrane)
Time Out (Dave Brubeck)
The Shape of Jazz to Come (Ornette Coleman)

Larnell Lewis, the drummer for Snarky Puppy, is an amazing musician. Go seek out him playing Sandman by Metallica…without ever having heard it before….

I hate that sort of jazz.

But I love jazz. I got into it late - mid 20s - though John Coltrane’s Giant Steps album.

I like the old 50s/60s bop/hard bop style. But I like the weird st - Ornette Coleman, later Miles Davies and all sorts of other more recent stuff. I also like current era jazz - Matthew Halsall, Yussef Dayes.

For some really fun jazz check out on YouTube the old New York subway street videos of Too Many Zooz. Your wife will 100% loathe this OP !

Plenty of good British bebop around, Alan Barnes is a fantastic sax player and a favourite of mine.

[Super Sonic]

Also Brand X, Phil Collins best drumming. Nuclear burn for example.

Jazz is indeed a broad church. I don't really have time for the dusty stuff, people playing drums with brushes, upright basses, a brass band sitting behind little music stands etc, but I really love the stuff with a bit of energy and passion in it.

[Lotobear]

Not really into traditional jazz but I love jazz fusion - RTF, Weather Report, Soft Machine, Ian Carr to name but a few.

I got into jazz in the early 80s as my mate used to borrow his old man's Alfas and there was almost always a Bluenote cassette playing away in the background. Started with the likes of Cannonball Adderley and Miles Davis.

I've kept listening to various strands of jazz ever since alongside everything else I've been into at the time. These days I love a bit of jazz/funk/soul, especially live.

I took the whole family to see James Mason at the Jazz Cafe recently. His band was off the scale. Most of bands there are exceptional but this lot were amazing.

When I'm hanging out at home, I often have a jazz trio-type playlist wafting around in the background,

It also undepins a lot of other genres that I like from the likes of Raye and Estelle though to soulful/gospel house music.
