Really disappointed by the decline in deej criticism in the latter quarter of the twentieth century.

basically that site is a full-on stats boner
xp: yeah Louis; possibly Scott Joplin if you are looking at ragtime? Also I tend to think of Dizzy in the same breath as Miles and Charlie; maybe Dave Brubeck as an outlier

i remember a fascinating piece in one of the jazz mags talking about how there were no white jazz artists who really created a sea change as far as style, could be considered up w/ the greats in terms of being sea change-type performers, with the possible exception of bix biederbecke. it was an interesting piece
― *plop*ism rules (deej), Friday, 17 December 2010 22:27 (thirteen years ago) link
eh I think that is a standard critical position. the guy who taught my history of jazz class in college said the same about Bix. he def. has his adherents.

joplin registers way at the bottom
i think brubeck is probably a bit overrated, biederbeck a bit underrated

ha I was also going to bring up Biederbecke but figured "too in-the-scene"

hahawasnt brubeck one of the first jazz dudes to like tour colleges & shit ... i mean he even had a 'live at oberlin' album
― *plop*ism rules (deej), Friday, 17 December 2010 22:31 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah, his Wooster performance is basically the reason why my dad likes jazz today

fats navarro & tadd dameron cd i have is one of my favorites ever. highly recommended

this actually brings up something interesting about 'influence' arguments ... how some artists are influential by dint of popularity vs. others who are influential by doing something so structurally significant to the art form ... that sort of stuff is fascinating to me. its like 'deep' influence vs. 'wide' influence or something
― *plop*ism rules (deej), Friday, 17 December 2010 22:33 (thirteen years ago) link
well it's only gonna be structurally significant if other artists pick up on it and run with it
― twat dust and ego overload (Shakey Mo Collier), Friday, 17 December 2010 22:36 (thirteen years ago) link
trying to think of artists who are popular among musicians but were never popular commercially (probably applies to a TON of rap dudes. also to Sun Ra lol)

wasn't brubeck kinda influential in that whole button-down "third stream music" thing that supposedly was taking classical type hongro compositional shit and marrying it to jazz?
(tho ellington already did that i guess)
― in my world of Hmong ppl (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Friday, 17 December 2010 22:49 (thirteen years ago) link
modern jazz quartet too i imagine --
― *plop*ism rules (deej), Friday, 17 December 2010 22:50 (thirteen years ago) link
gunther schuller
hmm i thought that stuff came from the other direction: american composers like bernstein having blue note riffs and wilder syncopation
― goole, Friday, 17 December 2010 22:51 (thirteen years ago) link
maybe it's both! (actually my knowledge of the whole deal is pretty limited to some liner notes essays on a couple used jazz records -- one of which might actually be MJQ come to think)

ellington depends on what era u are looking for ... his most influential / significant stuff was cotton club era -- where they started calling his style 'jungle music' -- 1927-1932. i think ppl consider his most influential stuff to go into the early 40s
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=80cTeLCcHOo
bubber miley on tpt!!
a lot of folks will rep for his 'comeback' live cd at newport, which is cool, or 'far east suite' which is awesome. 70th birthday party cd has some insane stuff. money jungle trio records w/ mingus & roach are incomparable esp 'fleurette africain' which is probably the most beautiful song ever made. my mindgarden fav is 'side by side' w/ johnny hodges, partic. 'stompy jones' which has an incredible solo from sweets edison
but his real impact was in the late 20s / thru the 30s. this is probably a great comp, i just have a bunch of cds the un-comprehensively cover this era: http://www.allmusic.com/album/creole-rhapsody-duke-ellington-in-the-thirties-r942498
― *plop*ism rules (deej), Sunday, 19 December 2010 02:05 (thirteen years ago) link
oh yeah when i was covering his later stuff i forgot to mention his album with john coltrane, their version of 'in a sentimental mood' kills

i could really just listen to this stuff all day ... i love the way the trumpet solo on this one gets so close to replicating talking
― *plop*ism rules (deej), Sunday, 19 December 2010 02:11 (thirteen years ago) link
wait, is there more duke/mingus/roach than just money jungle then? cause shit that is one of my favorite jazz records i need more i need more
