SgtPepper 04.28.13	Since there's a lot of different types of jazz, I thought it would be best if you become familiar with some of the more popular subgenres, and then you decide which one you're most interested. That way, I (or someone more knowledgable) can give you recs for albums that will be more of what you're looking for. "Birdlike" - Freddie Hubbard, from Ready For Freddie http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZjcLUK5px4 Honestly, there's no better place to start in jazz than the almighty hard bop movement. It's pretty accessible for everyone. Bop is arguably the easiest subgenre to get into in all of jazz. "Maiden Voyage" - Herbie Hancock, from Maiden Voyage http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hwmRQ0PBtXU Modal jazz. This is actually one of Herbie's best. Very relaxing, slow paced stuff. "Jeru" - Miles Davis, from Birth Of The Cool http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRjjqFogPGI This is cool jazz, has a chill/lounge sound. Miles basically explored every dimensions of jazz, so no matter what genre you're trying to get into, Miles covered it in some way. If you like cool jazz, start with this box set 'Birth Of The Cool', it's incredible. "The Creator Has a Master Plan" - Pharaoh Sanders, from Karma http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13L6sjk080c This is the experimental side of jazz, birthed from the avant-garde and free scenes (though not as crazy). Karma shows the indian spirituality vibes that quite a lot of jazz musicians were going for in the late 60s. It's a pretty accessible album in the avant-garde scene. "Free Jazz improvs" - Ornette Coleman, from Free Jazz http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YedVpRzF900 Balls to the wall Free jazz. This is just energy and spontaneity. No chord arrangements, harmonic frameworks of any kind. Each musician just kind of doing they're own thing in the jam sessions.
SgtPepper 04.28.13	"Spain" - Return To Forever, from Light As A Feather http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Q52r7xMd3U This is one of the most celebrated songs in jazz, and one of many masterpieces by pianist Chick Corea. This is from the early days in Return To Forever, when they were doing a style closer to post-bop, before they evolved into a funk-oriented, progressive jazz-rock band. By the name, you can already tell that this song has a very latin kind of feel to it. "Celebration Suite, Parts 1 and 2" - Return To Forever, from No Mystery http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xst6AfVEQhQ This is the band's evolution into a prog rock feel. It's got some incredible piano work from Chick Corea, insane guitar soloing, and overall spacey/mildly trippy goodness. "Black Market" - Weather Report, from Black Market http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7_vNpVXubA This is, in my opinion, one of the greatest jazz-funk records ever made. And by hearing this song, you'll see why. Every instrument flows so smoothly. "Vital Transformation" - The Mahavishnu Orchestra http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DAU5o246VSA This is straightforward jazz-rock. This band is one of my favourites of all time, and this song being my main choice from them. I mean, it's fucking incredible. Believe me, you've yet to hear someone beat the shit out of a drum set like Billy Cobham, and a guitarist set off some relentless solos like John McLaughlin. "One Armed Bandit" - Jaga Jazzist, from One Armed Bandit http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DN90uEDk3bQ Nu jazz, meaning it's got some influences from electronica, rock, funk, and among others. Jaga Jazzist is one of the best bands out there. And this song is so layered that it will blow your mind. Anyway, enjoy. And sorry for the long post.
