Good morning fellow Traneiacs. What are you listening to today?
>>127830366Picrel atm But I plan on listening to linkrel a bit later:https://ahmedquartet.bandcamp.com/album/giant-beauty

I'm listening to Star People. Six or seven albums to go before I complete the Miles Davis experience. I do not like his late stage. I liked that song "The Man with the Horn". Other than that, his fusion era is too cacophonous for my taste. I don't like jazz fusion at all. I hope to goodness these last few albums are good. The last one I enjoyed the entire way through was Miles Smiles and that was like 20 albums ago. Nevertheless, the end is nigh. I can't decide whether to take the Parker or Mingus pill next. As a big Trane fan I yearn for the axe again so maybe da Yardbird.
>>127830665That's got to be the worst way to listen to jazz but I appreciate the dedication
Giant steps sounds like absolute shit and anyone who claims to like it is a fucking insufferable faggot. He's just hitting random notes incoherently
>>127831014it works if you're a musician actually trying to learn something from Miles, but the fact that Mingus is next tells me this is just good old autism.
Ludo
>>127831356there's nothing to learn musically from miles though
>>127831585Incorrect.
>>127833380Incorrect
>>127831585how about Ahmad Jamal?
>>127833647He rules but some of his albums are tepid cocktail muzak
>>127830665did you listen to every single bit of recordings the man did? i'm hoping to listen to most of miles output myself but even i skipped around the 50 releases leading up to the birth of cool. man must have spent most of his life in a studio but there really wasn't much else to do
I've been delving into Trane's period with Monk. So far, it's been really good. Coleman Hawkins also plays in this record, and I'm amazed at how well he fits in with the other boppers.
>>127831338>I didn't like it, therefore it's random
>>127831338Filtered lmao
>>127830366I'm listening to Hermeto Pascoal and Quarteto Novo right now. Mostly bangers but I must assume some of his solo stuff is way too avant-garde to me.
>>127836242he did go in very strange directions in his solo career, especially considering his philosophy of "everything is an instrument"but his live stuff is tremendoushttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m2F4x9VwsDk
I'm getting into Jazz and immediately preferred Coltrane to boring ahh gay ahh cold jazz nigger Miles.
john coltrane
Brad mehldau at all times
>>127836476did you listen to modal miles or rock fusion miles
>>127830366Made my own mashuphttps://voca.ro/1hNXrg907XxC
>>127835350apparently monk really loved hawkins recording of ruby my dear. i kinda prefer coltrane's.
>>127831014I do listen to individual albums by other artists. I don’t work a manual job or listen to podcasts so I can listen to music the entirety of time I spend working pretty much. I listen to about 2 or 3 albums of my chosen deep dive artist and then 2 random ones that someone recommended. I listened to Back at the Chicken Shack by Jimmy Smith recently. Very good! I listen to rock music when I am exercising so I don’t get jazzed out. I find that going back and forth helps me appreciate each style more. If I listen to Trane’s Japan concert, I will enjoy the simple pleasures of Creedence more. Then going back to more improvisational music from poppy music will enrich that experience too. >>127834930Nope, I feel like I would never reach the end if i did. I stick to records with the artist’s stamp of approval and significant live albums. And if I like the artist a lot I will go back and listen to the archival stuff I skipped. So I listen to Trane archival sessions + posthumous cobbled together stuff occasionally and will probably 100% his entire recorded sessions at some point but for Miles probably not, I’m not as crazy about him. I think stopping at 60 records or so of his is enough for me. Too many miles to walk by far!
Best contemporary labels besides Criss Cross?

anyone know where to find keith jarrett recordings without the annoying piano playing?
>>127841787no and we dont want to know.
>>127830665There's better jazz fusion out there than Miles but it's not a genre known for having many masterpieces. You might like Return to Forever more but since you're actually listening to the music that inspired fusion first instead of the other way around, you'll probably still find most of it to be pretty safe and bland.>>127831338I understand that Giant Steps is a very technical album and can sound like gibberish to people with a small penchant for jazz, but there is a lot of soul in that album (or song, depending on what you're referring to). But to say something as objectively incorrect and ignorant as "random notes incoherently" just makes it sound like you're not capable of a real discussion and are just looking to vent bare fee-fees. Anyway, maybe black midi and BTBAM are more your speed.
>>127830665By the way isn't she one of those cute chicks from the show Yellowjackets?
this album is the first discog entry for most of the guys playing on this. i hope they have a long and fruitful career in music https://youtu.be/zGoDsjrehow
>>127830665>I don't like jazz fusion at all. Based.>Mingus pill next.This. There's saxophone in all of Mingus music pretty much, and for a period it was Dolphy even, who's the goat.
>>127836476Of course, Miles is a fucking meme.
>>127831338If anything, the problem with Giant Steps (the tune) is the exact opposite, in that it is incredibly formulaic and often leads to highly predictable playing due to it really just being one single harmonic concept being beaten over your head repeatedly.
quit licking coltrane's nuts and listen to the real progenitor of modern music
>>127836476>>127845067Most of Miles' albums are whatever, but some of them are goated, even if it is due to a perfect rhythm section in the 50s or Wayne writing the best stuff for the 60s>>127846478everyone ITT has heard this album before. what else should we listen to, black saint and sinner lady?
>>127845067Indeed he is
>>127830376Well Tuned Piano is a phenomenal piece of music … sounds good slowed down too
