Thread: Canmore's jazz thread

My small hands make piano playing a foolish endeavor. Maybe it's better that I stopped. Regardless, this thread is dope.

Listening to Bitches Brew the tune. Again!

Miles Runs the Voodoo Down off of the Bitches Brew album.


This is my go to tune by Davis. To play like that!

Davis delves further into Fusion.

When I was in high school, I picked up some how to play along jazz music books by Jamey Abersold and others. One of them was the ten greatest jazz solos and of the ten was the alto work of Cannonball in this cut. His brother Nat's work on the cornet is also phenomenal. I've loved this for ages.

What do you think about Les Claypool?

I don't really have an opinion. I know very little about him. (I know quite a bit now.) Not much more than the name until I googled him.

Creative musician. I wonder what a jazz expert would think in terms of his actual music.

Hey Can, not gonna go back through the thread, but have I ever asked you what you think of Ornette Coleman?


Also, who are your top 3-5 trumpets outside of Miles?

I love The Shape of Jazz to Come. When it was released in 59 I believe, it was considered more ground breaking than Kind of Blue which was released in 59 also iirc.

Really like Donald Byrd. Never much of a Dizzy Gillespie fan but than Bee Bop

Check out A New Perspective by Donald Byrd. I really like the third cut Cristo Redentor. I use to play along.

Big Nat Adderley fan also.

Clifford Brown was awesome but died at 25, I believe. Way too soon.

Since you asked me about Ornette Coleman dog, I put this album on for the first time in a while. What a shame it had been a while. What an album. On most best of jazz albums lists that I have seen, this album is in the top five. The birth of free jazz. A pivotal album in the evolution of jazz.
