That doesn't really exist, though. Or if it does, it's bad. It's especially the free/free-ish jazz where people play almost like a single organism, blindly understanding each other. It just might not sound like they do at first listen.

Ok, Fela Kuti was much better but still meh.
I am going to give up with it, just not my thing obviously.
I'm now off to listen to something without trumpets or saxamaphones

Oscar Peterson - 'We get Requests' is my fav. Jazz album ever. It's fairly obvious standards but it's so fecking good it hurts.
matt6666 wrote:Much of Kind of Blue is based on a two chord pattern within a modal structure (which basically means a manner of playing scales off another note than the root). It's a common thing as it frees up space for improvisation and it keeps the improvisation as simple or complicated as the musician wants it while keeping harmony. It is indeed not as complicated as many other pieces of jazz yet it takes skill to be that laid back. It was a reaction against the noteiness (for want of a better word) of Bebop and hardbop, well that's how I see it anyway.
Kind of Blue sounds simple though.. A far cry from the noodly, 'i'm the shit!' stereotypical jazz stuff..

There's similar threads to this but they're mostly ancient so I figured it will be easier to start afresh with a shiny new thread.
My favourite current Jazz bands are both British, Portico Quartet and Polar Bear.
What kind of jazz does everyone else here enjoy?
and have been giving "Black Market" multiple spins this evening, so that's gonna be in the hifi for the weekend at least.Girl, you thought he was a man, but he was a muffin.

UncleLou sounded so excited about the Portico Quartet I thought I'd go and have a look.
Picked a youtube clip at random - Cittagazze, live at the Mercury awards - ruddy excellent!
Anybody suggest a good album to start with?
