WE RIDE posted:Apologies if this has already been covered in the thread, but, does anyone know of any decent sites that review/talk about new & upcoming jazz releases? I've heard a handful of LPs from this year, but I'd like to have a better handle on what's coming out, what's good etc. Allmusic.com often keeps up with new releases, at least the major labels.

Based on you liking Ascenseur pour l'Echafaud I think I understand what you are trying to find even though your terms are, as people have said, not the more orthodox ones. More muted, slower jazz and a general lack of fast, more bebop-y improvisation huh? I would recommend looking up more of Miles stuff if you haven't already done that since he is the master of laidback, cool jazz (when he feels like it; the man can do anything), maybe his modal stuff, Porgy and Bess, Sketches of Spain, Miles Ahead, stuff like that. In general, I'd recommend trying out modal jazz and look into some of west coast jazz, I think it will be more to your liking than swing or bebop. Hopefully you'll find something you like. Otherwise drop some links to youtube with examples. Ex. of what you might like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tSGUPsAeL34 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EdLSMnQFs-A https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nv2GgV34qIg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u8bP4jcGGAI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3K0D_etBLw

SubG posted:If he's not digging on Monk because he thinks he's just seeing how many ways he can play the scale I really wouldn't expect him to be into modal stuff. You're absolutely right that much modal stuff is "scale intensive" so to speak, but I find that some of it, especially the slower songs, can take on an almost soundscape -ish character and based on what Cymbal Monkey wrote I thought it might work.

Wheat Loaf posted:Does anyone have any recommendations for albums that come from the more melodic end of hard bop? Soul-jazz type stuff, I guess would be a good way of describing what I'm looking for. Organ-led or otherwise would all be appreciated. Horace Silver's Serenade for a soul sister is great

I am trying to find slow, moody jazz with the organ and probably the electric guitar, but it might work with brass instruments as well. Stuff that is similar to the intro of this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nFhiWcKDrlk I have been looking through Jimmy Smith's albums but most of his songs are too fast or funky. His Summertime is quite close to what I am looking for though https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5bd-9Ocm2pI

Brad Mehldau has a new album out, "Blues and Ballads". Not revolutionary in any sense, but really tight and swinging.

On Terra Firma posted:It's really good. I've heard him play "Since I fell for you" twice live now and it's pretty remarkable. I wish I knew of more jazz pianists like him but everyone that's ever been recommended to me has fallen really flat. I've been meaning to see him but he never plays anywhere near. "Since I fell for you" is nice, but I am currently addicted to "And I love her". A great interpretation of the original and some really stunning solo parts.

It's always fun to see what people feel are some of the best jazz albums of the year. I've been really digging on Yussef Kamaal - Black Focus lately. It's perhaps a bit on the funky, electronic side at times which I often don't like but that works superbly on this album. Highly recommended for people who like stuff like Bitches Brew. I've also liked Theo Crooker's Escape Velocity. Just sweet, groovy jazz.

Ubiquitous_ posted:BBNG IV, Emily's D+Evolution, and Escape Velocity are my picks for the year. Just stumbled on BBNG's album after reading a "Best of 2016" list and it's awesome. I gotta agree that it's up there in the top.
