Jazz for aficionados

***** I’d be very curious what recent music suggestions you personally found sleep-inducing.*****

Anything from the third world with the word "trance" in the title.  ahahahahaha

Anything that O-10 posts while tripping in unexplored parts of the world.

Anything played by players wearing t-shirts,  or  jeans or baseball caps, or all of the above.

Flamenco being passed off as Jazz.

Cheers

I'm a Southerner.   I'm stuck in the past and can't get out.

Hank Crawford:

The best dressed man in Jazz.  From Memphis I think.  Used to play with Ray.   Very under recorded.  One of the Jazz players I was exposed to in college.   Good stuff.

Cheers

Ghosthouse there are so many facets in jazz that we've been through that I don't know if we touched on them since you were included. Have we touched on "Don Cherry"?

Thanks to everyone.  

O - Don C was probably before I started visiting regularly.  I know the name but never listened.  Got Milarepa playing now. Pretty atmospheric. Sounds like something Miles would have done a la Silent Way or Bitches Brew.  

What's that little horn Don is holding?  Either he has big hands or that thing is tiny!  Pocket trumpet??  

F - I did say my "fixation" on tone was a shallow reason!  Hey, when you come up listening to Clapton, Page, Hendrix, West & Taylor and that's the sound that trained your ear, it's hard to adjust to this "clean" jazz sound.  Seems kinda wimpy.  I believe you when you say the Martino and Metheny solos weren't "abstract" but to my ear, hard to hear the connection back to the source.  Would be interesting to hear a jazz guitar piece transcribed for, say, trumpet or VIBES (that's the ticket).  Wonder how that would hit me.  I really didn't HATE those 3 albums just not something I felt compelled to go and buy.  On the other hand, if forced to pick one of those players to learn to love, I'm thinking it would be Wes Montgomery.  

Acman - Thanks for taking the time.  Sideman vs group leader, might well make a difference.   Joe Pass' work on that On Time recording you recommended (I believe) was very enjoyable even though I don't get all giddy about the sound.  

Rok - You are a card as they used to say.  Good recommendation on that Smokin' at the Half Note.  Fits Acman's sideman proposition.

Thanks for all the tutorial attention, gents.  
Feeling a bit like the slow kid in class.  :-) 
  

Rok, I started out with Hank in 63, but I see by his discography that I fell way behind. I'm going to correct that. From what I've heard from other musicians, he was a most likeable person. Here are the goods on him

Enjoy the music.
