Led by bassist Miloš Bosnić, Bosque is a young jazz-rock quintet from Serbia. With a total of forty-six and a half minutes, their debut album, "Four Noble Truths," features four tracks and the longest album piece, exceeding twenty-one minutes of progressive, high-energy 70s-style jazz-rock. "Millwall Park," however, is actually a bluesy mid-tempo ballad featuring a soprano saxophone, electric piano, bass, and guitar interplay, which has been performed to such great effect that anyone who likes dreamy jazz in the 70s vein should enjoy it.

This tune comes off the second album by Slovenian band Predmestje (English: "Suburbs"), which was released in 1978. Its title, "Igra" (English: "Dance"), is essentially a showcase for the lambent tones of Andrej Pompe's electric piano, accentuated by the drums of Janez Hvale and the bass of Gabriel Lah; they gave a lush accompaniment to Aleksander Malahovsky's saxophone. "Igra" is indeed incredibly dreamy and proggy on its own.

Those last couple songs were perfect (especially with a flu)

Hi,

There was in the mid 70's a jazz piece that had someone playing solo along side a sitar sound ... I don't think it is Miles, although the style of the solo would likely be considered very much like him.

I know this is not saying much, or explaining much but anyone have any ideas of where to look? That piece was really far out, btw, and I have a bit of it, which was at the end of a jazz show just before the Space Pirate Radio show one time. I think it was between 1974/1976 or there abouts.

And thx if we can find it ... I have never found it, but I would almost say that the way it was played was less "jazz" and a bit more "ecm'ish".




If you have a bit of it, you might be able to find it.. I used to use a site where you'd upload a few seconds, and it usually would find it.. Or maybe upload it onto YouTube? I'm sure someone in here would know.

Hi,

Got lucky ... it was Miles in the BIG FUN album ... Great Expectations ... magnificent piece of music.
Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

Lead by English keyboardist Alan Gowen, the mostly-instrumental quartet Gilgamesh is one of the lesser-known bands from the Canterbury Scene. They released two albums in the middle to late 1970s before gradually disappearing into the UK jazz scene, which is where the majority of the band members were originally from anyway.
Despite being a brief track, "Arriving Twice" features tranquil music that is unmistakably in the progressive-jazz-fusion style. The bass is delectable and just amazing, and the sounds produced by the diversity of instruments are gentle and amiable. Overall, the mood is beautifully calm and dreamy.

I actually know/like Gilgamesh. I always associate them with bands like Nektar and Catapilla for some reason.

Thanks, that was very nice.. It's not too often you hear violins or strings along with that kind of music, although it's there with the last song I posted from the album, Joe Zawinul

a TON of stuff by Gilgamesh, including "Lady and a Friend". A lot of slow-tempo, electric piano, with beautiful jazzy licks, with a few ride cymbal touches.

"Lullaby for a Lonely Child" by Nucleus is a captivating and emotive track that showcases the unique blend of jazz and rock influences characteristic of the band. The track combines elements of free jazz with a haunting melody, creating a sense of melancholy and introspection. The use of various instruments, including meditative horn line from Ian Carr and Brian Smith, and Chris Spedding on bouzouki, adds layers of texture to the music, enhancing its depth and complexity and resulting in a highly expressive and evocative sound that continues to resonate with audiences even today.

Another discovery - thank you! Everything I want in this thread plus the haunting melody, which I love! Speaking of, I never express my desire for "dramatic" like Supertramp's "Crime of the Century" and "Rudy" (among others).

I love that song.. I think I found it here years ago!

I think you're going to LOVE Side 1 of Eberhard Weber's The Following Morning. That side, with its two songs, "T. on a White Horse" and "Moana I," has been a go-to of mine since I first heard it in 1979!

Also, Brian Eno's production of Harold Budd's The Pavilion of Dreams should knock your socks off. Very jazzy and very meditative.

Agree with some of the Oregon/CoDoNa suggestions. The Paul Winter Consort has a lot of meditative stuff as does cellist David Darling

Also, John McLaughlin's Time Remembered: a Tribute to Bill Evans (as well as many Bill Evans songs) might work for you. 

The work that Herbie Hancock and an all-star cast did behind Dexter Gordon for the film 'Round Midnight's 1985 soundtrack might also satisfy you. I find a lot of Dexter to be quite relaxing, but he's definitely not a jazz-rock fusion artist. 

Also, Hubert LawsFreddie Hubbard, Herbie Mann, and Gary Burton were all at the fore of the J-R Fuse movement in the late 60s and 1970s and all have many very gentle, relaxing songs. 

Windham Hill founder and guitarist William Ackerman might be a bit too pastoral but he definitely satisfies with some gorgeous melodies. 

Oh! And I mustn't forget Will Boulware and Bob James. Will's ten minute version of "Feel Like Makin' Love" will make you melt, and there are many BJ albums that I still love--Four being my all-time favorite. 

And, damn! You've got to have heard Diana Krall! Her Live in Paris with Claus Ogerman and a full orchestra is to die for!

Your definitely interested in an area that was very dear to me ... 35 years ago.

Most ECM records by most artist, however I will recommend these musicians specially,  Jan Garbarek, Eberhard Weber, Oregon, Codona, Ralph Towner, John Surman and many more, but start with these.
