Jazz

Free Jazz: A Collective Improvisation - Wikipedia


Right now, listening to Free Jazz by Ornette Coleman. A nice choice for this misty, rainy day.
 
The Prisoner (album) - Wikipedia


Herbie Hancock - The Prisoner

I don't see many fans talk about this one, but it's one of my favorites. I love the range of instruments (flugelhorn, flute, trombone, bass clarinet, electric piano, etc.), and number of players. I'm always curious about anything involving Hancock or Van Gelder.
 
Will be checking that album out. I've listened to a lot of Herbie Hancock, although, never did a deep dive, and hadn't heard of this album. Thanks for mentioning it.
 
Pouring rain today. It felt like the right mood for these two:

Miles Davis Volume 2 - Wikipedia


1958 Miles - Wikipedia


I think the latter collects all the Bill Evans/Davis stuff not on Kind of Blue. And I really love Coltrane's playing on "On Green Dolphin Street."
 
I don't listen to jazz exclusively, but I have some on my playlist,
Take Five, Dave Brubeck (1959)
Feels So Good, Chuck Mangione (1977)
 
I am told that this is orchestral jazz [fusion?],...
Peter Gunn Theme, Henry Mancini (1958)

Fusion is jazz influenced by rock and/or funk music. Orchestral could depend. There is Third Stream (jazz and classical), but jazz itself can be orchestral (i.e. Ellington, Henderson). To me the "Peter Gunn Theme" seems more like a rock song with a jazz sound, but maybe Loren would disagree.
 
Gettin' Around - Wikipedia


Dexter Gordon - Gettin' Around

This is one I forget about sometimes, but it's a great album. I enjoy Bobby Hutcherson, too. There's nothing quite like vibraphone.
 
Brandenburg Gate: Revisited - Wikipedia


The Dave Brubeck Quartet - Brandenburg Gate: Revisited

This one doesn't seem to get much attention, but I love Brubeck's Third Stream revision of the title piece, originally done on Jazz Impressions of Eurasia:

 
Right now, listening to:

Jazzmessengerscolumbia1956.jpg


The Jazz Messengers

This has quite a lineup, with Art Blakey, Hank Mobley, and Horace Silver.
