BetaFunk Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 I bought this LP around 40 years ago and it still makes me sit up and listen. While Ayler's soprano is all over the place on this 1963 recording the local Copenhagen musician's play it straight which makes Ayler's playing sound even more 'way out'. Fascinating stuff. http://youtu.be/ApPE-riNdRI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bilbo Posted October 31, 2014 Author Share Posted October 31, 2014 Recommended. 'The Suitcase', a live Steve Khan 2cd featuring Anthony Jackson and Dennis Chambers. Jackson is ON FIRE!!! Check out this rare Anthony Jackson solo - it beats 99% of all other bass guitar solos for inventiveness and originality. And you never hear AJ solo!!. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a4v4Zu-msnQ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bilbo Posted November 10, 2014 Author Share Posted November 10, 2014 These guys all look so young! For some reason, I though Israel Crosby was white. Maybe I was getting mixed up with Chuck Israels (this video of him with Bill Evans opens with a lovely shot of a fag toting John Le Mesurier in the front seat of the audience!!) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMHsz5VqLhM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mykesbass Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 My daughter has started to get into Electro Swing which has led me to digging out some of my Big Band stuff. Got a long train journey tomorrow, think I'll have at least The Atomic Mr Basie on the phone for company! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B9wQYuqPH0s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I think Jamal was 29 when this was recorded. A wonderful and nowadays underrated pianist. Bilbo, This clip is a gem. I love Steve Kuhn's playing and you can't go wrong with the great JF Jenny-Clarke on bass. The second part with Gary Burton is worth watching especially for the brilliant Steve Swallow. Great stuff!!! http://youtu.be/KX-ZdONc3Oc Edited November 10, 2014 by BetaFunk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Man Riva Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 I was at Spitalfields Market yesterday and came across Shabaka Hutchings doing this.. [url="http://www.spitalfieldsmusic.org.uk/whats-on/summer-festival-2015/shabaka-hutchings-spitalfields-re-sounded-tour/"]http://www.spitalfieldsmusic.org.uk/whats-on/summer-festival-2015/shabaka-hutchings-spitalfields-re-sounded-tour/[/url] Very pleasing on the ear and good fun to see him and a tuba player (Oren Marshall?) strolling along Liverpool St with a swarm of tourists/fans following along.

Bilbo Posted August 7, 2015 Author Share Posted August 7, 2015 Been a while. I just listened back to that old Colloseum slbum 'Strange New Flesh' and the track 'Down To You' with vocalist Mike Starrs who is astonishingly good. Gary Moore, Don Airey and Neil Murray leaving us wondering what may have been had Heavy Metal not come calling!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevB Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 I think a lot of folks who only picked up on GM later in his career and think of him just as a blues player don't realise he was a very accomplished fusion guitarist in his day. I picked up a cheap CD compilation years ago with a lot of Colosseum tracks on it and the playing is highly impressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilbo Posted August 7, 2015 Author Share Posted August 7, 2015 Absolutely. Two tracks on his Back On The Streets lp were fusiony, and a track on Cozy Powell's Tilt lp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevB Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 (edited) Just looked it up on Amazon, maybe there aren't a lot of copies around any more, this was on the budget priced 'music club' brand and I know I wouldn't have paid more than about £6 for it,no longer the case! ; [url="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Streets-Walkways-Best-Moore-Colosseum/dp/B0000072AS/ref=sr_1_1?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1439022723&sr=1-1&keywords=gary+moore+streets+and+walkways"]http://www.amazon.co...ts+and+walkways[/url] Unfortunately 'Down To You' isn't included but I have Strange New Flesh in my mp3 collection anyway. Looks like the CD is mainly from War Dance and Electric Savage Edited August 8, 2015 by KevB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevB Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 If we're taking a bit of a jazz-rock excursion then here's one that might have passed a few people by but I quite like some of this : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Td2iU1g1kqA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilbo Posted August 18, 2015 Author Share Posted August 18, 2015 Someone else I have discovered recently who is making some incredible music is saxophonist Marius Neset. Some of his stuff is pretty intense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassjon Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 I have just started getting into jazz and trying to find a way to mix it with punk rock! Its hard to get right but I love experimenting with it. I will post some stuff up here once Ive recorded it. But in the meantime can anyone recommend any punk jazz (if it exists??!) I've started buying jazz albums and like The Bad Plus, Steve Swallow, Miles' Kind Of Blue and Ahmad Jamal's live album But Not For Me. Where should I go next, please? : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilbo Posted August 18, 2015 Author Share Posted August 18, 2015 If you want 'punk' Jazz, try Bill Laswell, Last Exit, John Zorn, Ronald Shannon Jackson, Peter Brotzman, Sonny Sharrock, Jamaladeen Tacuma, Derek Bailey (The Sign Of Four), Pat Metheny (Zero Tolerance For Silence), John COltrane (Ascension).... But, be warned, this is some scary stuff!! As for where to go next, try Charles Mingus (Mingus Ah Um), John Coltrane (A Love Supreme, Giant Steps), Thelonious Monk (anything), Oliver Nelson (Blues and The Abstract Truth), Bill Evans (Live at The Village Vanguard), Ben Allison, SF Jazz Collective.... and trawl through this thread for recommendations and youtube links left by other basschatters.

Bassjon Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Ooh thanks..I'll take a look! The Impossible Gentlemen sound quite good. Is Steve Swallow not with them anymore? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
