was raised on The Dave Brubeck Quartet.... love jazz.  Big Monk and Coltraine fan.   Any jazz fans/prog fans here heard Stan Kenton's 1962 album... Adventures in Time (A Concerto for Orchestra)..... wow.


I'm a 95% prog listener.... but if it's not prog.... it's jazz or classical.

I love Miles Davis!

Lots of Fusion and Canterbury, but very little of the regular stuff.

Clap I often say that Kind of Blue is one of those handful of jazz albums that should be in EVERYONE'S album collection.  It's one of what I call the '2x4' albums.  An album that upon the first listen.... leaves an impression comparible to taking a 2x4 to the jaw.

Excellent comparison there! LOL

Improvisation and music itself would never be the same afterwards.

Is anyone a Wayne Shorter fan? In my opinion, he has really incredibly abilities as a jazz composer, as well as a sax player.

I like some classic jazz music like Duke Ellington, Ella Fitgerald, Billy Holiday but I listen to it very few times.
 
I don't like jazz-fusion. It bores me.

hahahha Thanks... strangely enough it was Il Balletto di Bronzo's album YS that made me think of the comparison.  That album knocked me on my ass on the first listen.... still does when I put it on.

must admit to not knowing much about Wayne Shorter.....

Billie Holiday!!!!... now you are talking....  if I had a dime for every brain cell  I killed in college 'seeking divine inspiration' to her albums....  Such passion in her voice.  Good call.

I love jazz-rock/fusion, but I haven't heard so much regular jazz, though..

Pat Metheny, Miles Davis, Branford Marsalis and some Herbie Hancock. I feel there is a strong correlation between Jazz and Prog.Smile

really... lack or opportunity (time) or lack of interest..... strongly recommend (as a fellow prog fan) the Stan Kenton album I mentioned above.. and of course what I call the first modern prog album Dave Brubeck's Time Out.  and as a music fan I also strongly recommend Mile Davis Kind Of Blue.

agree strongly.... I feel my early exposure to Dave Brubeck set the stage for being  later being a prog fan.  Insane (and groundbreaking for 1959) metric complexity... exotic musical influences.... brilliant musicians and timeless music.

out of curiousity any Yes or Squire fans own the jazz album that Alan White, Chris Squire, and Tony Kaye played on (along with Jeff Beck and Stevie Winwood) from the early 70's.... a total mind'fart' .  Very interesting album.... Tony Kaye on the Moog... how ironic.
