Members kidgloves Posted July 3, 2009 Members Share Posted July 3, 2009 Pat Metheny's Bright Sized Life is a beautiful record. And just for fun, try out Jaga Jazzist's The Stix. It actually revitalized my love for jazz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members THeLoveGun Posted July 3, 2009 Members Share Posted July 3, 2009 Charles Mingus. -> Moanin' : the intro itself is a good kick in the face. Dizzy Charlie Gillespie. Charlie Haden. Charlie Parker. As you can see, anyone named Charlie, is reaaaaaaaaally reaaaaaally good. John "Charlie" Coltrane was fired by Miles Charlie Davis coz the former outshined the other. What do I know? rofl. I'm at the same boat as you. I randomly quit rock/experimental to collaborate with Jazz musicians. I've got so many Standards to learn!!! Arrrrrrrgh. I can also suggest jazz fusion. Mahavishnu Orchestra (for Jazz Rock) -{censored}ed up good {censored}e. Herbie Hancock - I just bop my head everytime I listen to "Thrust" and "HeadHunters". Funked up jazzy {censored}e. [YOUTUBE]eQFjBZUTODc&feature=related[/YOUTUBE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members EDS Posted July 3, 2009 Members Share Posted July 3, 2009 John "Charlie" Coltrane was fired by Miles Charlie Davis coz the former outshined the other. Trane had a pretty heavy heroin problem circa 1956 - I think thats why Miles let him go. When I he resumed playing with Miles' group in 1958, he left a year later to focus on his own group.

I forgot to say something important my jazz mentor told me: Coltraine used heroin so that he can stay up AND REHEARSE EVEN MORE!!! That is {censored}ed up {censored}e. If a day consists of 24 hours, this guy must've wanted to go beyond that just to practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a day consists of 24 hours, this guy must've wanted to go beyond that just to practice. I don't know if heroin is conducive to long practice sessions, but I read that Trane (after he got clean and was playing with Thelonious Monk) would practice all day, go to his gig, listen to a tape of his gig recorded by his wife Naima, and then practice more after the gig. That's discipline. This album was one of those recordings. The music is a lot better than the cover art. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members chevybusa Posted July 4, 2009 Members Share Posted July 4, 2009 I'm suer there are some purists out there who would say it's not really jazz, but I would definitely check out The Mahavishnu Orchestra, particularly their first 2 albums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members companyman Posted July 4, 2009 Members Share Posted July 4, 2009 dexter gordon YES! He is one of my favorites!He was a nice bridge between the older style of people like Coleman Hawkins and the hard Bop guys like Coltrane and Ornette Coleman. His album "One Flight Up" is a masterpiece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His album "One Flight Up" is a masterpiece. I got into Dexter much later after hearing Coltrane, Bird, Sonny Rollins, Lester Young et al. for a long while. I guess for me, he seems more like a jazz musicians' musician than an introduction to the genre. The way he plays behind the beat is unmistakable and beautiful - there's a recording of him playing "Body and Soul" in the 1970s with a European rhythm section - he plays so behind, it leaves you on the edge of your seat. His tone is unmistakable too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
