Callick posted:Can we talk about the new Flying Lotus album here? I don't see any discussion about it anywhere else on NMD and it's supposed to be a pretty jazz heavy album. It even features Herbie Hancock. Any track where him and Thundercat AND HH jazz it up can only be good. The one with Kendrick is pretty good too. Super psyched for this release. Answers Me posted:At the very least, I'd love to know what people in this thread think about Flying Lotus. To my mind he's exactly what jazz should sound like in the 21st century. It's definitely forward thinking but jazz doesn't need to have all these bells and whistles FL-style to stay relevant imo

Answers Me posted:Yeah I agree, I didn't mean to sound so prescriptive, like I have a set idea of what jazz 'ought' to be. It's just refreshing to hear something that wears its jazz influence on its sleeve while still sounding so 'now' Definitely, this sounds like a very natural progression for what he's been aiming at since Cosmogramma.

If you like drones and stuff you can't go wrong with In A Silent Way. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E9X7XmigDxw Alice Coltrane can help you here too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1KeWGHuNwCE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hFDiXszQeVY But also for noisy stuff - I'd say Bitches Brew might be fun for you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1a1Ph-ioxoA Beware none of this is traditional jazz. But I'd say you're at a stage where you'd have to work up to that. How much music theory do you know?

Cymbal Monkey posted:As far as theory I can read jazz chord notation and know what that means and I know how chords are put together. Awesome, you're in for a ride. And to be honest that's practically where I am theory-wise, and it's done me OK so far.
