The Jazz thread!

Hi there jazz listeners


Here are some of my favorites

What's your suggestions???
















(original LP Blue train by J. Coltrane)

Louis Armstrong is great.

Indeed excellent choice


One of the coolest tracks:

Art Blakey:Moanin'

It doesn't get much better than this:

Dave Brubeck Quartet - "Take Five" (1961)


Great music in this thread by the way! Definitely hoping to see some more videos!

Ah the "West Coast" cool jazz

A masterpiece(i have the CD)


In the same spirit a Bossa Nova anthem:

My favourite jazz is definitely John Zorn's Electric Masada. If you like Miles Davis's Bi*ches Brew, you'll probably like this too.

This song takes ages to really get going, but when it does... wow.

Karaim part 1

part 2


and John Zorn's solo stuff, completely different here... short, quirky, sometimes very noisy but catchy songs:

Batman


A Shot in the Dark (give the noisy beginning a chance to disappear... don't turn it off right at the beginning, skip to 0:50 if you want)

Miles Davis is great, but I prefer Dizzy and the Yardbird. What a duo.

Thelonious Monk is great too. I really need to get some more Coltrane though

@God (it seems like a pray )

Great stuff man!!!

I listen to them and it was really awesome!
The only track i new was the "shot in the dark" cause i have the OST from the movie +REP

@therussian

The "specialists" consider John Coltrane's "A love supreme" as his best but it is a more experimented album than for instance the cool "Blue Train"


Here are some BEBOP/Cool classics

The "Duke" Ellington:
Take the A train



Charlie Parker:


KOKO(it is included in "The Talented Mr. Ripley)



Charlie/Dizzy



Dizzy:Tunisia

Bobby Timmons


Thelonious Monk


George Gershwin

Check out the ones from the 20's and 30's. Sublime vintage stuff.

Louis Armstrong - "Muskrat Ramble" ( 1926 )



Annette Hanshaw - "Lovable and Sweet" ( 1929 )

Hiromi Uehara - XYZ


Frank Zappa - Peaches in Regalia


Herbie Hancock - Cantelope Island


Weather Report - Birdland


Tribal tech - Nite Club


For the Fusion in all of us.

Awesome taste, vizigothe! +rep

Might I add to your list:

Richard Bona Groovin'


Bobby McFerrin - Drive


Dave Weckl Band - Festival di Ritmo (excerpt) (live)


Chick Corea Elektric Band (live)


Michel Petrucciani (R.I.P.) - September Second


Pat Metheny - Bright Size Life (live)


Mike Stern (improvisation)

Saint James Infirmary
depressing, but good...
although Rene Miller's version is better (and darker)
(And I do not mean Glenn Miller)



what's the matter with love...



Are there any lovers of Swing and Big Band here ?

How about some swing ?

Cab Calloway - Cab Calloway's Hi-De-Ho (1934)


Cab Calloway - St. James Infirmary

Louis Prima King of the Swingers Jazz Legends 1

Louis Prima - I Wan'na Be Like You


My favorite old swing song


Gene Krupa- Sing, Sing, Sing

Great ones (although Cab isn't that good on St James, it doesn't have the dark ethos that it should have)

And can we add Glenn Miller, Ol' Blue Eyes and Ray (at least some of his songs) as Jazz (although it is more Big Band and Swing then Cool Jazz etc

Miller

Chattanooga Choo Choo


In the Mood



Frankie



Ray

2 of my favourite jazz songs at the moment, both from the folk-rock band Calexico (it's a pity they don't do more stuff like this):

Crumble


Attack El Robot! Attack!

Miles Davis - Will O' The Wisp


Stan Getz - The Girl From Ipanema


Dave Brubeck Quartet - Blue Rondo a la Turk


Bohren & Der Club of Gore - On Demon Wings


Django Reinhardt - Minor Swing


Stan Getz - Autumn Leaves
