ABCs of 60s Jazz

14 fév. 2012, 21h59m par brianshazaaam

You know the drill from the 70s, 80s, 90s, and 00s lists. I wasn't originally planning on doing a 60s list, hence why it's appearing out of order, but I enjoyed making the other ones so I decided to put one together. Several greats knocked off because they were featured on previous lists, including John Handy, McCoy Tyner, Joe Henderson, Sun Ra, Herbie Hancock, Gary Burton, Alice Coltrane, Freddie Hubbard, Bill Evans, and Miles Davis. This means some obvious classics were lost (Maiden Voyage, Inner Urge, Nefertiti, Hub-Tones), but I kind of like that because it gives me a chance to promote other lesser known but great albums. Also cut were Sonny Rollins, Andrew Hill, Charles Mingus, Archie Shepp, Wes Montgomery, Oliver Nelson, Albert Ayler, Lee Morgan, and some wild free jazz blasts from the BYG label including albums by Dave Burrell and Alan Silva.

Autumn - Don Ellis And His Orchestra (1968 Columbia)
Back At The Chicken Shack - Jimmy Smith (1960 Blue Note)

ABCs of 70s Jazz

8 jui. 2011, 16h18m par brianshazaaam

Cross-posted to A Stable Reference

26 classic jazz albums from the 70s, one for each letter of the English alphabet. Not intended to be an absolute definitive best of, just a fun place to start or pick up some suggestions for further listening. There are certainly a few that I wanted that ended up getting knocked off, including albums by Woody Shaw, Gil Evans, Julius Hemphill, Mahavishnu Orchestra, and Dewey Redman. Also no posthumous John Coltrane albums. Let me know what you think. Which albums would you have instead?

Agharta - Miles Davis (1976 Columbia)
Black Beings - Frank Lowe (1973 ESP)
Conference of the Birds - Dave Holland (1972 ECM)
Dreams So Real - Gary Burton (1975 ECM)
Enchance - Billy Hart (1978 Horizon)
Fort Yawuh - Keith Jarrett (1973 Impulse!)
Gateway - Gateway (1975 ECM)
Hymn of the Seventh Galaxy - Return To Forever (1973 Polydor)
Infinite Search - Miroslav Vitous (1970 Embryo)
Jaco Pastorius - Jaco Pastorius (1976 Epic)
Karuna Supreme - John Handy & Ali Akbar Khan (1976 MPS)

2010 my year of jazz

4 jan. 2011, 6h45m par gangstayoda

around april 2010, jazz really clicked for me and i got kinda obsessive about it. so far i've even bought about half a dozen books i'm still working my way through... i'm really glad though and look forward to delving even deeper into all kinds of jazz.

here's an interesting rundown of jazz musicians in my top 100 of all time (almost 6 years in total):
22 Miles Davis
39 John Coltrane
65 Thelonious Monk
88 Ahmad Jamal
and then a few more:
145 Charlie Parker
152 Herbie Hancock
211 Charles Mingus

and here's a list of the jazz musicians in my top 100 of just the past year:
2 Miles Davis
7 Thelonious Monk
10 John Coltrane
14 Ahmad Jamal
33 Charlie Parker
65 Eric Dolphy
70 Charles Mingus
71 Ornette Coleman
83 Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers
96 Sun Ra

i went from zero jazz musicians in the top 20 overall to four in last year's top 15! that's a pretty big jump

to be fair, Herbie Hancock would probably be higher, but his songs are too long so they don't tally up as frequently.

Autumn & Jazz in Kiev

24 oct. 2009, 14h45m par ukrsamurai

Fri 16 Oct – Jazz in Kiev 2009

Важко повірити в те, що цьогорічний фестиваль “Jazz in Kiev” проводиться лише вдруге. Хвилююча атмосфера очікування, приємний контингент з його джазовою невимушеністю, приглушене світло в камерній залі Жовтневого палацу і, зрештою, музиканти, імена яких асоціюються із чимось настільки далеким і недосяжним, що сам погляд на них з висоти балкону першого ярусу – неначе пережитий заново казковий сон. Перед концертом провідний джазовий журналіст країни Олексій Коган висловив сподівання на те, що фестиваль стане традиційним. На моє переконання він уже став таким. І не стільки через прекрасну організацію та незмінність місця та часу зустрічі.

Хоча з останнім можна посперечатись, адже в серцях киян та приїжджих, для яких джаз є значно більше, ніж просто музикою, багряно-жовті барви осені стали тепер кружляти в особливому ритмі. Традиційним «Jazz in Kiev» став передусім через склад його учасників. Адже саме в джазі як ні в якому іншому жанрі найважливішу роль грає передача музичного знання «з рук в руки». …
