JAZZ - THE THREAD

adderley goes hard AF on this one

what a beautiful record. does anyone know anything else like this? or close? i'm going through takayanagi's discography and this has been my favorite

Yeah, that's fantastic, so is their Mass Hysterism in Another Situation. Maybe you'll like Masahiko Togashi - Rings, though it's sonically much gentler. Vibracathedral Orchestra maybe.

Wish I could give you better recs, but my j-jazz isn't as organized as it used to be.

thanks. i actually got their mass hysterism and that's a trip

this was my weekend

love the tension and focus here

Scofield starts at 3:50-ish. Takes a while to get up to steam but once he gets there (around 4:40) he's great.

Pat Martino is always one of my favorites.

The interplay between the two of them, towards the end (starts around 10:10) is really fantastic.

Love how good these guys are that they can make a boring instrument (the guitar) and a hackneyed tune sound awesome.

I'm interested. Pat Martino and John Scofield are well, two very different approaches to jazz guitar.

She's *such* a good saxophone player

Too bad she always plays over those two chord dirges all the time. For me that becomes boring very quickly.

But then I tend to like excessively noodly stuff, so what do I know.

Here's one of my favourite saxophone players, at a concert I attended a few months ago. Almost made me cry because the musicians were so good (be sure to check out the drummer, too!):

Concert proper starts at 25:20

new record coming out next month. i almost cannot wait...

Here’s a list of pieces by / with Wayne Shorter from the 1960s along with brief explanations why these were significant. Some of them have been posted here already, so we all all have good taste, it seems

Giles Peterson had a great 3 hour tribute to Wayne Shorter yesterday.

Currently working on this piece. It’s really pretty.
