This album is underrated af. I only just heard it because it was on the January jazz calendar. I probably would have listened to it eventually because Dolphy is on it but I can’t believe I never see people talk about this one.

what are the best jazz clubs in New York? Is it still worth going to see live jazz or is it all just for tourists now?

>Personally, I get rather bored listening to the 100th version of a "standard". Therefore I tend to reward original compositions over covers. A well-played album of covers is... a well-played album of covers. An album of great compositions is... a masterpiece by that composer. (Incidentally, most jazz "standards" are not much better than pop songs, and often they actually "are" pop songs, something that, personally, I don't find very interesting).

>Ditto for live albums. Live albums are usually... bad albums. The improvised format rarely yields good music. A studio album has been made (hopefully) by selecting the best takes of a piece. The odds that a live version is as good as a studio version are rather slim. Which is exactly what I keep finding in live albums: bad versions of studio cuts.

>I am not too interested in the instrumental technique. I am more interested in emotion than in technique. Traditionally, jazz has been associated with technique (an odd mis-interpretation of the original spirit of Afro-american music by white intellectuals). I do not enjoy listening to music for the sake of a brilliant solo. That solo has to deliver emotion. If it is technically breathtaking but does not deliver any emotion, that musician is not very interesting to me. There is a difference, in my opinion, between a juggler and an artist. If the playing is barely passable, but it delivers a lot of emotion, that musician is a genius.

This should invalidate his opinion as a critic of any art form if he can’t understand the relationship between technique and emotional expression in art.

Music critics are some of the dumbest people, in general

What makes a jazz album good?

any "dark/moody" but "warm" songs like these?

lol saved

and to think he wrote this about fucking jazz - which is probably, if ironically, the most expressive, if also the most technical, music which lacks any trace of wankery.

NOW THATS WHAT I CALL ROCKIST VOL. 12

are there any other abrasive but melodic guitar jazz albums in the vein of sonny sharrock - ask the ages?

Where do you find these alternate covers? Are they fan-made?

>Sons of Kemet? That's going to be a yikes from me my dude. I only listen to real jazz like Craig Taborn, David Binney, Steve Coleman, Tim Berne, Matthew Shipp, Donny Mccaslin, Vijay Iyer, Mary Halvorson, Ambrose Akinmusire, John Escreet, Marc Ribot...

Liking Sons of Kemet is extremely nu-male tho

Yeah s o i b o i s just love their avant-garde contemporary jazz composers and hate spiritual jazz hip hop fusion with an SJW agenda. Definitely not the other way around.

They are often posted in sharethreads. Beyond that I don’t know.

I'm pretty sure that jazzthreadguy made them, he has a collage with these criss cross cover arts in his rym profile.

shipp and Ribot are well known...
I had ribot come speak to a class I was in once
super down to earth

>Mary Halvorson
That woman does things that leave me stunned.
