Hey guys,

Just wanted to expand my jazz collection - more down-tempo stuff - but any jazz/fusion would be very appreciated aswell.

recommend me your all time favorites.

down tempo jazz

-

maybe red snapper if you haven't heard it

but just straight jazz, i highly recommend

eric dolphy - out to lunch (get this now if you haven't heard it)

andrew hill - point of departure

wayne shorter - schizophrenia

pharaoh sanders - karma (get this one for sure as well)

all have their beautiful relaxed moments but there is also some incredibly freeing stuff going on in some other moments. all amazing

donald byrd - down tempo

also, check out ahmad jamal.

everybody digs bill evans

pretty much this.

or try "Bohren und der Club of Gore". about as down-tempo as you can go before stopping

KRENG, L'Autopsie Phénoménale De Dieu ( http://www.boomkat.com/item.cfm?id=197789 ) is a sort of dark Angelo Badalamenti esque dark jazz. I love it !

Agreed, Bohren is definitely sloooow motion, but great stuff. I like Black Earth and Dolores.

Also check out:

Bill Evans - Live at the Village Vanguard

Miles Davis - Kind of Blue and In a Silent Way

Ahmad Jamal - The Awakening

Lots of Thelonius Monk!

Alice Coltrane - Journey in Satchidananda

eR DoN - Subroutines

Local Seattle artist I discovered earlier this year. Very chill glitch-hop incorporating lots of jazz. I love this album. You can stream the whole thing here.

esbjörn svensson trio, one of my favourite jazz trios of all time. esbjörn (piano) drowned last year though, which fucking sucks so bad i get all emo just thinking about it.
