 | AdrianVramulet Thank you for the thoughtful, comprehensive, and nuanced reviews, J.C.
|
 | GamamJ Don't you always ;) Thanks so much man, can always count on ya!
|
| GamamJ What's up J.C.? Back for some more jazz recs! Got any more raucous jazz-rock like Mahavishnu or Krokofant (loved these guys! Thanks so much!)? Or avant-garde like Ascencion and Fire! Orchestra?
|
 | rellik009 Yeah from what I heard your definition def fits the bill lol
|
| rellik009 Sounds good! Thanks for the recs Beekum :) Been meaning to check out Fire!Orchestra for a while too... they're avantgarde jazz right?
|
| rellik009 I also listened to Sons Of Kemet and Gogo Penguin if that helps
|
| rellik009 well I've been listening to j a z z like Mingus, Mammal Hands, Zappa and Phronesis, but my knowledge of j a z z is still like a dry well, so let's say I'm looking for j a z z in the same aisle as these artists.
|
| GamamJ Had to be! «van» and the double vowel on Beekum. Was just missing a «vrij» type thing hahah. Loving the recs man. If you have any more mathy stuff, cuz I love MotK and just listened to Calculating Infinity by DEP which has made its way into my all-time fav albums.
|
| GamamJ Okay, so checked Kindo, was too indie for me, had to turn off after a track hahah. Krokofant (who are from Norway where I lived for years!) sound insane hahah. So wanky, but somehow they manage to have some groove! I hope they get more musical after the debut though. Do they? Also, are you Dutch by any chance? ahahah
|
| GamamJ Man, I am always shocked at how Di Meola for example made 3 shockingly good records for his forst 3, then basically went on to make all trash. Is there anything wirth checking beyond Rendevouz?
|
| GamamJ Thanks so much man! I am actually very unfamiliar with math rock, but if MotK is it, then I love it! So good! I'm afraid (or happy to announce if you enjoy it hahah) that I'll be having to come here for recs more often!
|
| GamamJ Oh, for sure. There is no lack of metal these days, that's for sure. I just got into jazz recently myself, and don't know of much contemporary stuff. I have really enjoyed Tigran Hamasyan (AotY this year for me so far), Snarky Puppy and mouse on the keys to mention a few.
|
| GamamJ Thanks a lot for the recs! Can't believe I forgot about Painter's Palette. Promised myself to listen to it a while ago upon seeing their genre tags, then completely forgot... You know, I am in the same boat. I would still consider metal my favouerite if I had to, but it and jazz are really neck to neck. I also find there is generally much more trash metal than jazz hahah. Just the diversity both genres allow is so awesome.
|
| GamamJ As for Ascension, yes, I am planning too. I have not found an ear for that free-reign and dissonant jazz, or music in general. I can see it taking a few listens for sure. As for Jac, totally agree! Along with you and 50iL among my most respected users on here! Do you have any recs? Could be either jazz-(fusion) in the vein of Corea, Mahavishnu, RtF, Coltrane, Coleman etc. or prog-metal either like DT, Haken, Sieges Even etc. or more Death, Necrophagist and even Opeth-like.
|
| GamamJ Oh lord, absolutely killing Cecil I see hahah. I started out as a metal elitist, and have found it interesting getting into jazz how there artists will be legends with like 3 came-changing albums even if they have 14 other trash ones. In rock/metal, one bad one and no one ever forgets.
|
| GamamJ Yeah, that makes sense tbf. I thought the one I heard last from them was actually quite bad myself.
|
| GamamJ Hey man. I think you have some of the most accurate ratings on the site, at least as far as me agreeing with them. For jazz especially. Find stuff on here is often way too bloated. Anyway, ?sup with the low ratingsnon 7 for 4, I love them.
