Im gonna check out some Miles Davis for sure. Also, I want to check out some John Coltraine.


Clap you're a good man hahahha..  Check out for Coltraine.. A Love Supreme.  Another album that should be in every well rounded music lover's album collection.

one more plug for Dave Brubeck's Time Out.


I sure most people know that The Nice/ELP did a 'cover' of the opening track of the album. Blue RONDO al la Turk.  How challenging is it.. you be the judge...  Brubeck, Desmond, Morello, and Wright ripped through it in 9/8 (correctly mentioned as probably the least jazz friendly time signature for jazz hahahha) ... not bad for 1972... we're talking a hit album in 1959.  One curiousity though...   The Nice/ELP did it in 4/4 time... hmmm.... wonder why?

someone needs to shut me up.... I'm gushing....

back to Brubeck hahahha


have seen many concerts and shows.... however nothing... nothing compares to seeing Brubeck in a intimate setting of a small college theater with about 100 people.  Watched from about 20 feet away a 70+ year old living legend pound out Blue Rondo a la Turk with the vigor of a 20 year old.  Got to meet him after the show and shake his hand... and gush my admiration.  Memories like that go with you to your grave.


sorry to gush... a true legend of music.

I like Jazz. Although i don't listen to it as much as i would like to mostly due to the small amount of jazz in my collection. Also, Jazz-Rock/Fusion i like alot as well, and have a better amount of.

funny... for as much as I love jazz and rock... other than the early Magma albums... jazz rock/fusion has never really 'grabbed' me.

 As a teenager in the middle 70's, I listened to alot of fusion jazz, which resembled progressive rock to a great degree. The likes of Mahavishnu Orchestra, Brand X and Return to Forever were among my favorites.

I listen to a great deal of modern jazz (mostly ECM and related), so yeah, I guess it makes up a pretty good amount of my listening.

    I love Jazz and especially jazz funk. It makes up a decent amount of what I listen to.

Now I'm getting into the Jazz-Rock Fusion, with the BIG band Weather Report Clap, and obviously the best bassist in the Earth: Jaco Pastorius.
So, by now, I listen occasionally ... but I hope to listen to it a lot more. Big smile

The best jazz track I have ever heard was something called Focus on Sanity by Coltraine and Cherry from an album named <i>The Avante-Garde</i>.

I'm a 95% prog listener.... but if it's not prog.... it's jazz or classical.
 
Exactly!  Love the prog more, but some quartet jazz, like Dave Brubeck,is definitely prog-worthy.  A classic like 'Runda a la Turk' - interchanging between 9/8 and 4/4 time signatures, is simply wonderful.  As others have said, some classical pieces fill the prog bill too.  Here, here - I agree with you wholeheartedly.

I listen to a lot of progressive jazz/fusion, but occasionally I listen to some more average jazz like Jeff Lorber or Spyro Gyra.

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.


What's a 2x4?   

Anyway, I've got the following Miles Davis' albums in my collection:

Birth of the cool
Kind of blue
Sorcerer
Filles de Kilimanjaro
Sketches of Spain (with Gil Evans)
Miles smiles
In a silent way
Bitches Brew
Big fun
Pangaea
Agharta
Aura
Tutu
Doo bop

I'm not Micky, but I'll give you a recommendation anyways. I'd say start out at "Time Out". It's not only some of Brubeck's best, but some of the best jazz there is period. Very easy to see how it has had an influence on the world of prog, as well.
