What Jazz album are you listening to?

Blarobbarg · 01-09-2013, 08:41 AM

I'm a big Dizzy fan, but he was one of the guys that got me into jazz, so I'm biased. Honesty, I haven't even heard much from him, besides the one album that I own.

As far as Art Blakey, I would definitely listen to more than just Moanin'. As great as it is, I think Tunisia is better. As Jansz said, he's pretty damn good, especially if you like good drumming.

And if you are more into the experimental side of jazz, and aren't enjoying A Love Supreme, I would look into Coltrane's later work. In the late sixties he really started getting into free jazz, and it shows. I would try Ascension, Meditations, and Expression.

I kind of figured that was the case because while I didn't think that album was that great, I could definitely see how it would turn into the style I like.

Listening to "A Night In Tunesia" right now, didn't care for the first track but the second is pretty good.

Really? That first track is my favorite on the album. It's like pure energy.

Wait, Spotify seems to have two completely different albums by him with essentially the same name

I was listening to this one
A Night in Tunesia

But after listening to this I assume it's what you were referring to
Night in Tunisia
The first track here is much better.

Was looking for some violin led Free jazz:
Leroy Jenkins - Ai Glatson, pretty intense imo

Billy Bang - Vietnam the Aftermath, not really what I had in mind but still pretty good

Well, I was going to post a YouTube from the 1979 album "Exhibition" by John Serry, but what I found there was less than stellar quality. To the best of my knowledge the Serry albums were never released as CD, so by definition they have to be gleaned from vinyl, and I have an excellent transfer system, so I just made my own YouTube video specifically to post here (although I also intend to post them to another thread debating the audio qualities of belt driven vs direct driven turntables)

Anyhoo, this is the jazz (probably more fusion) album I have spinning at the moment
