I like a lot of jazz, but my favourite genres from your list:
  • Cool Jazz - Miles Davis, John Coltrane, early Herbie Hancok, Charles Mingus, Dave Brubeck Quartet, Art Farmer etc.
  • Fusion - the usual suspects, plus the dazzling Machine & The Synergetic Nuts from Japan.
  • World Jazz - Anouar Brahem and Dhaffer Yousseff in particular.
  • Free Jazz - oddly (given my taste for avant prog) not my #1 genre, but a lot of it is like hard work for me. John Zorn, Derek Bailey, Ornette Coleman and a few others are worth the effort though.
 
I'm also keen on the Esbjorn Svensson Trio, Arve Henrikssen, The Necks and some of Keith Jarrett.

I like fusion, and lots of other jazz. I even like some smooth jazz every now and then, at mellow, early morning times. Ying Yang (Not sure of all the "categories," though.)

1920's Ellingtone's swingin' or Monk's early experiments knowledge is a fundamental thing if you're interested in classical jazz ;). There's a few 1920-1940 originally recorded albums accessible on torrents ;). Copyrights expired ;>.

ECM recording studio albums are recommended ;).

Those in the UK, look out in HMV's sale for a cheap copy of nu.fusionist's Nils Petter Molvaer's album Remakes - a remix album, which has contributions from modern jazz musicians Bill Laswell, Matthew Herbert, Bugge Wesseltoft, Martin Koller etc.   I reckon a few here will have a real shock to the directions in which new jazz are heading - at least based on the limited choices offered up here on this thread. (Indeed check out Nils Petter Molvaer's original albums, e.g. Khymer, Live, NP3, etc. to discover the degree to which nu-fusion can be deconstructed and constructed afresh).

Absoloutly no contest! Fusion is my choice of course. Followed by cool and funk.


You've just had a heavy session of electroshock therapy, and you're more relaxed than you've been in weeks.

1. Avant Garde/Free Jazz.
2. Jazz Fusion
3. Latin Jazz
4. Bebop/Hard Bop

and some funky :)
It is to say that rap is in it's best on Acid Jazz/Rap Jazz/DJ Jazz, or should I say spoken word. (Although I like new "rhytmic" R&B with it's multilayerty (not specially progressive) - although it might be overproduced or,.. well, the layers make music more interesting. It's nice to see how pop getting progger, though just utilising it and everything. And still the music is easy-listening and not truly experimental)

The result of this poll was highly predictible (as was the result of the Dire Straits poll) : prog-related jazz !!!
 
I like many jazz subgenres :
 
world jazz (Pat Meth, Jan Garbarek, Zakir Hussain, didier malherbe (ex-Gong BTW))
 
be-bop/hard-bop (john coltrane, wayne shorter)
 
latin jazz (the crusaders' 'chili con soul' album)
 
vocal jazz (sarah vaughan, billie holiday)
 
big band (buddy rich big band, 'big swing face' is a phenomenal live CD, and check out the tribute to the music of BR featuring the buddy rich big band + drummers like Bruford, Neil Peart, Morgenstein, Manu Katché...)
 
fusion (loose change (w/ virgil donati), allan holdsworth, dixie dregs...)
 
ragtime (scott joplin)
 
cool jazz (miles davis)
 
plus artists like earl hines, duke ellington...
 
Recently I was on holidays in Poland, and bought some polish jazz that I can recommend to you :
 
Wlodzimierz Nahorny (free jazz), Jan 'ptaszyn' wroblewski, jarek smietana, krzysztof komeda, zbigniew namyslowski, leszek mozdzer sextet, michal urbaniak's album 'decadence' (it's not really jazz, more experience stuff with an orchestra).

Have to remind that terminology used wrt jazz-relayted musics here is at best sloppy and inconsistent. Fusion covers allsorts of jazz fused with other musics. Remember one of the first albums with fusion in its title and an early source of the term was with Joe Harriott & John Mayers Indo Jazz Fusion albums in the mid 60's, a marriage of then English style modern jazz (and Joe Harriott was West Indian who had been on the London scene for 20 years) and Indian raga.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Mention of Holdsworth and Dixie dregs  then strictly the majority of their albums are jazz rock fusion. The only reference book and history on the subject of mixing rock with jazz is Stuart Nicholson's Jazz Rock: A History

In no order of preference:

BeBop/Hard Bop (McCoy Tyner's "Trident' album kicks serious ass!)

Fusion (Mahavishnu, Tony Williams, etc.)

Free Jazz.

Exactly which Sub-Genre Pat Metheny falls into seems to be in question, but I really dig him.
