Unfortunately not, thats why I asked about similiar music. I doubt they even have one out yet :/

[rokaholic]

well, if you like the sound of organs which is what i'm big into, along with some other instruments, then check out:

-Black Talk! - by Charles Earland (Organ, Sax i think)
-Medeski Martin and Wood (Drums, Organ, Bass, lots of other instruments)
-Drop Trio (Organ & some other stuff)
-John Scofield (Jazz Guitar & other instruments)
-Momentum - by Joshua Redman (organ, sax i think, really good)
-Head Hunters, & Thrust - by Herbie Hancock
-Soulive (Organ, Sax, other stuff)

thats mostly the type of music, and who i listen to for jazz right now, i hope to expand my jazz collection a lot more tho



if you find out any other good bands send a p.m.

I'm looking to get into Keith Jarrett. I remember liking what I heard from him in my jazz history class, but I can't remember what it was in particular that I heard. Piano trio tends to be my favorite outfit, but solo piano can be nice as well, if it's interesting. I guess what I'm looking for is the "classic" Jarrett....what he is famous for and what pieces/albums set him apart as unique.

Oooh, those are fantastic bands.

Ok I really havn't heard that much jazz playing. I mostly listen to metal/rock type music. I have recently got into Paul Gilbert I just heard the song "Six Billion People", and I can't stop listening to it I love the jazz like playing in the song. I want to get into more jazz, so could someone reccomend some bands or artists that sound sort of like the song or similar? Or reccomend me some jazz with awsome guitar playing.

Thanks

Sorry guys about this being out of topic, but for reason i cant post a new threat and i'm in a hurry.

Does anyone know of an American or European singer or band that have use some spanish words on their lyrics besides U2? I know there are lots of them, but I cant think of one right now and cant find any on the net. I'm writing a paper and need this info asap.
Thanks. I just need the name, song, and lyrics.

I have to agree with Zappa that it may be slightly absurd to assert this is "the best orchestrated jazz album of all time", but, then again, can you think of something better? it amazes me how great this album is. Mingus was a god -- probably my favorite 20th century composer, actually. Blues and Roots is another of my favorite albums of his. The closest contemporary I can think of to Mingus is William Parker, although he gets a bit freer. In particular, I'd recommend Parker's work with The Little Huey Creative Music Orchestra -- check out The Mayor of Punkville.

anyone know any trash / funk bands ..or just like more hardcore bands with funk influence: like infectious grooves, old chili peppers, 311, some suicidal tendencies, fishbone

[Det_Nosnip]

This isn't really the place for this, but....

Aghora - at least on their self titled. Malone+Reinert =
Early Incubus - S.C.I.E.N.C.E, etc.

Hey I'm looking for any recommendations of bands, those similar to "The Bad Plus", and "Medeski Martin and Wood". Thanks!

As well as recommendations similar to bands such as "John Scofield", and the newer releases of "Joshua Redman" (Elastic, Momentum). Thanks again!

My friend told me about a bebop trio, drums, bass, and led by the piano player, whose name I can't remember. All I know is that they did a cover of a radiohead song and are fairly modern. Can anyone help me out?

[pianoplyr77]

It wasn't them, their name was the ___________ (piano player's name) trio.

[DemBonez]

I'll try to answer some questions.

The Köln Concert, Changeless, Whisper Not, Standards Vol. 1. He's also really good on Charles Lloyd's Forest Flower: Charles Lloyd at Monterey.

I take it you don't appreciate what Don Sebesky does then? Or Sun Ra? Or a couple guys by the name of Duke Ellington, Artie Shaw, Count Basie, Fletcher Henderson, and Benny Goodman? While The Black Saint & The Sinner Lady is nice, all of these guys were doing stuff that was equally as nice. Can you think of orchestrated jazz better than Ellington's Far East Suite or Goodman's Carnegie Hall? Superlatives are the dumbest things of all time.

What this has to do with jazz/funk, I don't know, but check out the Screaming Headless Torsos, Faith No More, and David Fiuczynski. There are more, I'm just not versed in this area at all.

Bad Plus are pretty unique as far as I can see. Acoustic Ladyland may be a good choice, but they are different. Maybe Soulive for MMW. Scofield's got his contemporaries like Bill Frisell, David Stryker, and Mike Stern to deal with. There's Steve Khan as well, he's got that cheesy fusion guitar thing going too. Check out Mark Turner, Chris Potter, and James Carter for your Redman fix.

The Brad Mehldau Trio. That Radiohead song is off his The Art Of The Trio, Vol 3: Songs. Besides his poorly named albums, he plays some damn good music. Just imagine Bill Evans with less definition on his face.
