Jaimoe Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 Here's a live performance featuring three incredible jazz guitar legends, Grant Green, Barney Kessel and Kenny Burrellhttp://youtube.com/watch?v=AKW40qCeql8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 Check out the amazing guitarist Django Reinhardt (best tone and taste ever) with his equally impressive partner Stephane Grappelli on violin:http://youtube.com/watch?v=K6nkHJQnEPs&mode=related&search= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mister slippery Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 for fast, technical piano virtuosity, check out Art Tatum. Dexter Gordon - Ballads Dave Brubeck - Time Out Duke Ellington - Newport '56 (make sure that its a version that has "Crescendo/Diminuendo" on it. Porbably the best jazz ive ever heard. Its legendary in jazz circles for the mammoth Tenor Sax solo from Paul Gonsalves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velvet Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 After you've heard all of the above, listen to some Sun Ra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velvet Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 This would be a fun game:Check out a copy of Charlie Parker playing his tune 'Donna Lee'. Then pick up Bobby McFerrin's first album The Voice and check out his take on 'Donna Lee'. Then grab a copy of Jaco Pastorius' first album (self-titled) and listen to his version of 'Donna Lee'. It's a great oppourtunity to hear what a tune can offer a jazz artist.I'm gonna go do it right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mister slippery Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 (edited) you like weird pop shytt? heard the Cocorosie album yet? The 4th track on it is called "Japan". It's one of the strangest things ive heard in ages. Go, find it, and listen to it. Edited May 18, 2007 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 (edited) I'm convinced that the title track helped nudge improv soloing into rock and roll. I think My Favourite Things is one of the greatest jazz songs ever and Coltrane and McCoy Tyner's most spellbinding collabortation. Edited May 18, 2007 by Guest Dima doesn't know sh!t about jazz.

Booche Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 It's a shame Dima wasnt in town for the nero reunion shows. He could have come over for that late night Coltrane viewing that woke you up from your deep sleep at 5am.That is something I wont ever forget. Picture Jaimoe snoring. I put on a Coltrane dvd and within 5 notes of My Favorite Things, Jaimoe awoke and asked "Where the fuck did you get this?" in a groggy/hoarse voice. 5 minutes later he was as wide awake as John Belushi after a rockstar line. I often wonder if we giggled more about McCoy Tyner's playing or Coltranes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 McCoy Tyner is equal with Oscar Peterson, although I love the sparseness of Tyner's soloing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then put on the "Faith Cola" album by Sisters Euclid and hear what they do to/with it. (The version of UZEB's "World Tour '90" release is pretty good, too; Alain Caron is a great bass player.)Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Not Bob Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 Dima, A Tribute To Jack Johnson called. He wants you to pick him up tomorrow. I was going to say that too, Booche. Also count me as the one guy who loves On The Corner ... a lot of Jazz purists hate it, but I think it is spellbinding. Throw in Dark Magus, Pangea, Agharta, Big Fun, Live Evil and Get Up With It for the full, super-awesome 70s Miles experience. On a fusion tip, Inner Mounting Flame and Birds Of Fire by Mahavishnu Orchestra are well worth some time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
