I think Cosmogramma has the most jazzy songs. Flying Lotus' other work has either not as much or no jazzy stuff though it seems.

Cosmogramma is definitely the most outright jazzy, in the classical sense. But Until the Quiet Comes is most definitely free jazz. It's a toss up. I actually don't like the newest FL album as much as I thought I would, but I'm also just a huge fan of what he did with Cosmogramma and wish he stayed in that sound.

Re watched whiplash : is the style bebop? What should I be looking for, for similar ensemble jazz that is somewhat listenable (I,e not free/interpretive)

It's big band jazz/swing jazz. Caravan is a big band arrangement from 1937, and Whiplash is a time chart in 7/4 time signature. Whiplash has been used a lot by rock bands and such.

Kandace Springs' Soul Eyes album is now available if anyone wants some really good modern jazz to listen to. Her voice is incredible.

anyone here into BadBadNotGood? In my opinion, they are GoodGoodNotBad!

IV is pretty good, I agree. I never like the entirety of any album they put out, but there's highlights from each one. Anyone check out Esperanza Spalding's Emily's D+Evolution?

I love a lot of jazz influenced music but have never gotten into jazz itself. So far I like the jazz elements in Amy Winehouses music, I also like Bill Evans. Bitches Brew wasn't bad either. Where should I go from here? Something maybe not too heavy on the horns.

Kandace Springs or Gretchen Parlato's music features few horn sections.

BBNG IV, Emily's D+Evolution, and Escape Velocity are my picks for the year.

Anyone have any jazz album recommendations coming out in 2017? Or what we should be on the lookout for.
