I am absolutely in love with Portrait in Jazz by Bill Evans Trio. The Blue in Green takes are just some of the best music I've ever heard, and I want to hear more like that, cool jazz but quiet and somber.

tried listening to some meat puppets but honestly found it pretty boring. what i got was all low energy blues chords and square 4/4 rhythms. maybe there's something i'm missing there, but meh

and regarding minutemen, i know a ton of the stuff i like is indebted to them but whenever i try their albums i cant get into it. i feel similar listening to the other big post-punk bands like gang of four or wire. and frankly talking heads go in the same category. I think just about the only album from that 70s-80s post-punk era that really hooked me was this heat's deceit. Oh, and i heard cardiacs for the first time this year and they blew me away

that said talking heads is a good try given how hard volcano's singer is aping david byrne in places.

on the off chance another example will help...

Depends on what kind of New Orleans Jazz you want. It's all good, but there are some differences.
edit: I see you said the Louis Armstrong style, sorry, my recs are a little off. Read on if you're interested in loud brass.

I remember the jazz thread in NMD had some extremely knowledgeable posters (Scarf maybe?).

I love the second line style. My favorites are the Dirty Dozen Brass Band and Rebirth Brass Band.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASGn9H5fdPM
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fhwoGVbY9xU

Rebirth especially still does a bunch of real grass rootsy street parades. Their snare drummer, DerrickTabb, is fuckin phenomenal. He does a lot for music education in the poorer parts of NOLA. This is one of my favorite Rebirth videos.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ALGh7dW6KU


On the groovier side, I also love Galactic. Any era is good but I'm partial to 90s and early 2000s. A couple of the guys own Tipitina's now.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7dFA3hoAwQ

Their newer stuff is more hip hop/rock/soul oriented.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Smb8ahl3A10

They've also been collaborating with New Orleans Bounce artists lately, which is hilarious fun.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_-oAWEE8mY


I'm not going to comment on older more classic New Orleans Jazz, but here are some must-listen artists.
Preservation Hall Jazz Band - This was my first jazz album when I was like 12.
Professor Longhair
Dr. John

other things i know people like:

-mahvishnu orchestra (might be heavier than you’re looking for)
-return to forever
-shakatak (sounds like hold music to me but some people dig it)
-pretty much everything michael brecker ever did

Not gonna paste the whole video but that little circle jerk begins around 13:10 in this show if anyone else has ever wondered where the gently caress it comes from.

Somehow I've never heard of Shakatak, and it sounds like walking around in a mall in the 1980s to me.

Also some George Benson was pretty upbeat, but he tended smoother with less distortion and synth than what little I know of T-Square and Casiopea.

Try Katsumi Horii Project, I really dig them. Ocean Drive is a good album.

Edit: Back in May I asked about stuff like Katsumi Horii Project and this is one of the responses I got.

screaden posted:

Casiopea and T-Square are the most obvious answers for Japanese jazz fusion. Any album will do as they do one thing and have been doing it for decades, start from the beginning and then stop around the late 80s. I can do a more in depth answer when I'm not phone posting but in the meantime you can jump on this discord, it originated from "city pop" but covers a pretty much anything Japanese, including fusion from this era. Xerf is an active member.

This is going to sound pretentious as gently caress. So, the first ~3 minutes of Beethoven's 7th Symphony, 2nd movement -- it makes me feel emotions I don't even have words for, makes me think that maybe he was capable of feeling things beyond my capacity to understand.

What are some other pieces like that, where you feel overwhelmed with an emotion that has no name?

I get the same reaction from the entire first movement of Beethoven's 6th, but I get the feeling that you can't successfully ask for recommendations of music that makes you feel like this, because Flipper's first album makes me feel the same way.

when I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child - but now I am a man.
I love the 7th too, and I guess other works that have a similar vibe to me would be Verdi's Requiem and some of Sibelius' shorter works like En Saga, Finlandia and Tapiola

I know you know how to do this.
Get up.


Beethoven 7 2nd movement is possibly some of the best music written in all of humanity’s history but

Wagner’s Act III prelude for Lohengrin is pretty good and over the top, maybe you’ll like that?

Otherwise yeah, Verdi’s requiem mass, Mozart’s, and Mozart No 41.

E: something like Verdi’s requiem mass is genuinely something best experienced in person; there’s a solo trumpet that gets placed in the audience, usually in the balcony, that is... yeah, sublime, and quite a surprise if you’re not expecting it

I’m just hooked on the weird glittery bombastic guitar and synth combo, and I need to keep chasing that dragon. I don’t care if it’s current or old, age is irrelevant, but gently caress, even something in the right direction will do.

(I am also looking for music that sounds like Ariel Pink and John Maus. I’m a very devastated big (former?) fan)

"bombastic guitar and synth combo" is so extremely Wolf Parade that I am obliged to mention them even though there's a good chance you've heard them already. But the various side projects fit too (Handsome Furs, Sunset Rubdown, etc.) so if they've somehow passed you by, I'd give them a try as well.
