The algorithm strikes again.

As grindy has just posted, same day, in both these threads:-

https://www.musicbanter.com/jazz-blu...tening-51.html = What jazz album are you listening to?
https://www.musicbanter.com/jazz-blu...aganza-49.html = What are you listening to Jazztravaganza?

I thought it might be a good moment to ask why we have two threads asking essentially the same question. Is there any difference between them? Am I the only person bugged by the fact that they weren't merged long ago?

This is Jazztravaganza and the other is just what album

Cmon bestie!!!

The New Boss Guitar of George Benson

Prepare to boogie down!

What can I say? If it's ok for you, then it's ok for me, bestie. (*tingles*)

One is about albums, one could be about single tracks. I agree that it is redundant but if I started unleashing the fascist absolute order I'd like to have here, I'd have to quit my day job.

I bought that record just to sell it to some Youtuber in a few years for twice what I paid.

You sneaky ****.
Good thinking.

Not a bad idea. Hell, you might even get triple.

I became more impressed by the album after learning he recorded it only after 6 years of self-taught playing. He didn't even start until his early 20's.

Abdullah Ibrahim - Daniel Schnyder / Munich Radio Symphony, Barbara Yahr / Absolute Ensemble, Kristjan Järvi ‎– African Symphony

Underworld put The Necks on my radar after collaborating with them on the 47-minute single, "Appleshine Continuum (#Drift, Ep 2, Pt. 6)" from their 52-week Drift Series sound experiment, so I thought I'd explore them further.

I grabbed 17 of their primary albums and from what I'd read, their 1999 LP, Hanging Gardens sounded right up my alley, blending avant-garde jazz, minimalism, and free improvisation. A Youtube comment described the album as "like jazzy Neu!" and another said it was the perfect soundtrack to traveling by train. I absolutely loved it.

I tried Unfold from 2017 next, which was evidently the album that introduced the band to newer and younger audiences and was described as highly-accessible. I personally preferred the rhythmic classical minimalism of Hanging Gardens to the ambiance of Unfold.

I'd definitely welcome further listening suggestions from their primary discography which align with 20th century classical. I understand that their live albums are critically lauded as well.

Their latest album Three has some of both. Bloom is one of my favourite tracks of theirs, the maximal minimalism of the percussion blows my mind.

Thanks for your input! Three is among the 17 albums I grabbed so I'll give it a listen. I found the percussion quite captivating on Hanging Gardens and was trying to work out whether or not they used loop pedals or were actually performing for that entire duration.

Memory/Vision by Evan Parker's Electro-Acoustic Ensemble

Pat Metheny Group - Letter From Home (1989)

Was sitting with this earlier....I think it is pretty underrated. More varied in mood and timbre than a lot of his other PMG stuff too.

Global Warming by Sonny Rollins

Nice post. Not a huge Chet Baker fan but his version of the Warren/Gordon song is my favorite.

Weird Lullaby by Babs Gonzales

Bebop scat

Damn, maybe my new favourite thing Dolphy did.

Sassy in Sweden and Holland, '58 and '64;

Pete Seeger was folk singer and a member of The Weavers. He tried to kill Bob Dylan with a hatchet at the Newport Folk Festival in 65.

Just checking up on that

He actually did kill Bob Dylan during that concert

Oh, I know who Pete Seeger was but I thought because of the presentation there was a second in the form of that sad comedian who preceded Vaughan. Never occurred to me that the Seeger would be on the same program, particularly among guests of Hefner's Playboy club. Very different audiences. Hence, the post change. Thanks, though!

And if that Seeger-Dylan story is true the dude still walking around has been one hell of a doppelganger. :)

Or is he?

Haha Ever compare your 50 plus year mug shots? Wouldn’t recognize me! :p:

This was one of the first Coltrane records I ever owned. In the first five I’m pretty positive.

The Avant-Garde by Don Cherry and John Coltrane

Mhmm, it's been on my mind lately too and I kept forgetting to throw it on.
