Ah, but does ILM know where Miles learned music? There is only one correct answer.

The sound that jazz instruments make when being manipulated by jazz players, for the delight of jazz respondents

why do i all of the sudden have the urge to listen to jazz all the time
― treeship., Monday, 18 May 2020 18:42 (three years ago) link
it's good. i think the "looseness" of jazz music, the fact that it can accommodate stray notes et cetera and get back on track, makes it a psychologically/emotionally palliative genre
― treeship., Monday, 18 May 2020 18:43 (three years ago) link
Because sometimes it's really good.

ok a quick google search reveals that there are dudes in this group too. nevertheless it is a good album

I've been listening to a lot of jazz lately, the dynamic range and amount of actual human playing & variation in the music is soothing.
Sample & loop-based music can be soothing in its own way too, the hypnotic uniformity, but I've been going back and forth.

Really loving Blue Note lately, the playing of course but really the sound of the recordings. Reading articles about Rudy Van Gelder was a huge lights-on moment, that he was in no way trying to capture a naturalistic recording of the musicians, but to make it sound more exciting. Or to make up for the loss of excitement that comes from not seeing it live, and that it wasn't an accident. That's the problem I have with so many modern jazz records, that they try to treat it like classical music and any interesting tones are taboo.

OTM. Once I was talking to a friend of mine about this problem and complimenting him on the sound of one of his recordings and he told "I gave the engineer a Jeff 'Tain' Watts CD," *makes hand gesture to illustrate this transfer* "and told him, make it sound like THAT!"

there is this track on the new Anna Högberg Attack album that is pure golden era Blue Note without being a bad pastiche - it's so good.
― calzino, Tuesday, 19 May 2020 16:09 (three years ago) link
Yeah, if it's the track I'm thinking of, in my review I compared it to Cecil Taylor's Conquistador!, one of the only two albums he made for Blue Note.

I'm doing this too, maybe it's quarantine related. The "cerebral-ness" gives my brain some pathways to wander while spending time mainly at home.

paul chambers pops up on so many great to absolute classic albums, it's amazing he managed to fit it in during 33 short years on this rock.

I've been listening to Bass on Top a lot recently. Dude can PLAY. And Blues and the Abstract Truth is all time. I can't think of another album that swings so hard.

Chambers is def a top 5 bassist for me. Spent so much of my formative listening years with the Miles Quintet records.

There’s a younger guy I saw once who was totally channeling Paul Chambers more than most others. He’s not famous or anything although he has or had a regular gig with someone who is well-known.

What a line-up, will have to check that album.RH awes on Getz's Focus, arr. by Eddie Sauter:The theme of the opening track, "I'm Late, I'm Late", is nearly identical to the opening minutes of the second movement of Béla Bartók's Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta. Bartók had been an early supporter of Sauter, who intended the track as an homage. "I'm Late, I'm Late" also features drummer Roy Haynes, the album's only soloist beside Getz.

I think this album cover obv came later to cash in on Cannonball Adderlley's fame, the original as was the want of the music industry at the time had a pic of a pretty white woman on it!

I may be making this up but I think there are Coltrane records that were originally billed under someone else.
― longtime caller, first time listener (man alive), Sunday, 28 June 2020 19:36 (three years ago) link
Yeah, several albums from the 50s with Coltrane as a sideman were later reissued under his name.

Miles was reportedly unhappy about the album's original cover, which featured a photograph of a young white woman and child aboard a sailboat. He made his displeasure known to Columbia executive George Avakian, asking, "Why'd you put that white bitch on there?" Avakian later stated that the question was made in jest. For later releases of the record, however, the original cover-photo has been replaced by a photograph of Miles Davis.
