All That Jazz ...

Hi How about recomending a few Jazz innternet radio stations too please. Many Thanks

I found this one to be nice - www.accuradio.com

Amongst the lot, their genres are well selected. Similar to 'spotify', the channel allows to 'skip' a track you want to forget quickly.

My favourite is 'Groove Jazz'

Hello, long time no post. Been listening to lots of "other" music - soul after getting inspired by "Harlem Shuffle" from the movie Baby Driver, repeated playing of "Bell Bottoms" by Jon Spencer Blues Explosion from the same movie, back to Mahler and pondering about death (influenced by Birdman and a random family emergency that worked out OK), Debussy to let the mind drift (like Inception, a dream within a dream within a...). Aphex Twin also as I wanted to descend into an electronic haze (brilliant).

And then Birdman inspired me to listen to an album by Antonio Sanchez which is really very good - Migration. For an album by a drummer, he does not overwhelm you with chops and keeps the music flowing all the time. I somehow don't listen to much modern jazz (barring exceptions like Brad Mehldau), but this is really up my street.

Also features Chic Corea and Pat Metheny - here is a link that I found - check it out. Old souls like Moktan can apply

Soundtrack to Elevator to the Gallows.
Composed by Miles as he watched rushes projected on the wal.

Don't see too many Vibists these days. The instrument also sounds great in the audiophile sense of listening.Would I be correct in saying, the vibraphone in a way does things a piano would do? Have been hearing a bit of Milt Jackson and Bobby Hutcherson.

That's a great album! The audiophileness is probably to the credit of Pablo records - their pressings are really good. True, vibists are rare these days and i guess always were.

Thanks Fiftyfifty. Didnt know nothing about Pablo Records. Just Googled to find this https://forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/original-pablo-records-pressings-they-are-a-steal.241924/
This is indeed a great album.

@sushant
Good point about vibe players being rather scarce today. Can’t think of any major ones besides Stefon Harris.
I’m a big fan of Bobby Hutcherson, too. Might have posted this one before, but here it is anyway:

wow..beautiful performance. Thanks Coaltrain. great solos by all three and Brian Blade was busy the whole time. Didnt know the upright bass could do all that.This is going to play on my daily list.

Most welcome, Sushant.
FYI, the original African Village is from a Tyner album called Time for Tyner. There’s also a BH album called Happenings which features the two of them.
Also, do check out two Grant Green albums that feature BH: Idle Moments and Street of Dreams.
Finally, The Kicker, Stick Up and Components are my favourite albums of his as a leader.
I’m always ready to point people towards Hutcherson. It’s a shame he’s not as well known as some of the other jazz giants.

Thanks again coaltrain. I only have a record or two of tyner, hutcherson and wes Montgomery. familiar with the guitaring of Grant green. these are good leads and I will remember when on my next record buying expedition. somehow I sample this era of music on digital but want to own records of these guys.

Discovered this new Jazz band called Kokoroko yesterday night over drinks and music.
They sound so good!
And a blues guitarist friend of mine said it’s so much fun to play the guitar to their song called Abusey Juction.
Do check it out: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_maReTI3peqUCBeJkAIEqU-UkkT333RIXs

“I played three different ideas, but they were the same notes.” Ornette Coleman. There is more conversation here than jazz though. Nevertheless an interesting insight into the private life of a great musician and a good human being.
