Hypnotic madness

Such beautiful expression

Miles was the greatest rocker ever

This is gonna sound kind of lame but after watching Homeland i want to get into jazz (hahaha i know how lame that sounds trust me)

I guess i want to ask jazz fans here if they know of jazz artists similar to Tomasz Stańko (the guy who made the Homeland theme song)

sorry if this request is lame, thanks.

I think you want (early, electric) Bill Frisell.

Groundation

Anyone have any recommendations on slow, moody jazz? Doesn't have to be dark like Bohren & Der Club of Gore, but along those lines.

Edit: like the 'Batman Blues' and 'Snowfall' pieces that delet... posted. Guess I need to check out some Henry Mancini.

Tomasz Stanko:

Don Byas:

Jan Johansson:

That Don Byas one is pretty close, thanks. I guess the stuff I'm looking for is really deliberate.

Not sure if it is mentioned in the thread already, but maybe you should also want to check out the Ascenseur Pour L'echafaud soundtrack by Miles Davis

Hah, out of the few Miles Davis albums I've heard, this is the first material of his I've enjoyed. Nice one man. I'll seek this out.

I like jazz that sounds like live IDM

ornette is god.

Digging John Stetch a lot lately, great original tunes, brilliant player with a quirky and fun sensibility
Sry no youtubes, but there's a whole album here, which is one of his best imo:
