I found out i like jazz today because one of the bands that's gonna play at this year's jazz festival is Chvrches and man i did not know they were jazz! but i guess it makes sense when you know they've been influenced by legendary jazz quartet Depeche mode.
I must insist on being a pessimist, I'm a loner in a catastrophic mind
Heard some Christian McBride the other day and I was surprised how good it was cuz I'd never listened for some reason but like, it was just a great trio recording. Can't remember what it was but I hadn't listened to jazz in a while and I feel another jazz kick coming on. What I'm saying is, fuck me up Geoff.

Never heard this but I'm listening now and it's really good, thanks thread!
like i said it's in my top five probably and it's a great introduction to free jazz in general.
sam rivers and anthony braxton playing off each other is just sooo good. I've been listening pretty heavily to sam rivers stuff mainly (okay just crystals a bunch of a times) and man that record is amazing.

Get back on jqbx buddy, I'll play you some ace jazz there.
The late period Chet Baker side of youtube is indeed a good one. I recall loving strollin’ which I believe is a live recording from around the same time as Diane.
This album is excellent and brief. Melodic, spiritual jazz flourishes, not too busy but not boring either.
It's comforting to think that somewhere unfathomably far away incomprehensible beings are possibly having some kind of subjective experience of a world that possibly observes basically the same laws as our own
hey geoff just wondering if you had an opinion or some recommendations for the most densely musical, richly harmonic jazz you've come across - i've got a mean itch i need to scratch
