What are some introductory jazz albums? Any form of jazz is fine

What are some introductory jazz albums? Any form of jazz is fine

Attached: murphy.png (512x384, 237K)

My favourites would have to be
Nancy Wilson/cannonball adderly
Sinatra/Basie
Chet Baker Born to be Blue
Tom Jobim stone flower
Maynard Ferguson this is jazz

fucking google them you lazy asshole
stop spoonfeeding the retard

Fuck off retard Google always gives the same 3 albums

Miles Davis - In a Silent Way is pretty easy to get into and it’s great

john coltrane - a love supreme
herbie hancock - head hunters
chick corea - now he sings, now he stops
dave brubeck quartet - time out
miles davis - bitches brew

google gives you links to dozens of different entry level albums, retard. and its not like OP was even going to listen to any of those albums or discuss them here anyway, like most of these 'spoonfeed me recs' threads. its just a pointless list thread wasting space on the board.

Obviously Kind of blue. If you like Music theory then that album is a great introduction into Jazz and Modal Jazz.

Davis' Kind of Blue, Coltrane's A Love Supreme and Sun Ra's Jazz in Silhouette got me into jazz, but Dolphy's Out to Lunch, Brubeck's Time Out and Max Roach's We Insist! made me really interested in the genre.

If you're more comfortable with guitars, Grant Green's Idle Moments is a great start imo.

Hank Mobley, Al Cohn, John Coltrane and Zoot Sims - Tenor Conclave
Ken McIntyre and Eric Dolphy - Looking Ahead
Bix Beiderbecke - The Bix Beiderbecke Story
Albert Ayler - Spiritual Unity
Ornette Coleman - The Shape of Jazz to Come
John Coltrane - The Complete 1961 Village Vanguard Recordings
Fletcher Henderson - A Study in Frustration
Elmo Hope - Trio and Quintet
Lee Konitz - Subconscious-Lee
Bobby Hutcherson - Dialogue
Django Reinhardt - The Classic Early Recordings in Chronological Order
Romano, Sclavis, Texier & Le Querrec - Carnet de routes
Julius Hemphill - Dogon A.D.


These are probably the best recs you will ever get here, so cherish them well my friend.

You are the only person on this board reacting like this. Have you ever thought maybe you are the problem here?

Not him, and he's not wrong. The problem are people like OP.

Check out the ones from the jazz category from this chart.

ugh come on

This is the music board of Yea Forums people like to list their favorite albums. So what.
If you hate it so much go on some dumb acdc thread with the boomers.

not true. i'm also sick of threads like these where knowledgable anons throw recs at an always ungrateful OP who could have just as easily gone to RYM, besteveralbums, allmusic, etc. boggles my mind that i share a board with ostensible music fans that consider looking up albums on their own to be too much work.

mingus ah um
blues and roots

unironically started with mingus and have only been listening to mingus thus far. i want to start listening to bird and trane but i have literally no idea where to start (moreso the former) so

I mean these are good albums but most of them aren't terribly "introductory" aside from Time Out. Maybe Now He Sings.

Also OP it can help to know what kind of stuff you like, either genres or just general music styles, like chilled out or energetic, etc.

PURE FUCKING GOLD RIGHT THERE

LOL DO YOU ANUS BOPPERS EVEN LIKE BILL EVANS FOR CHRISTS SAKE

This. If you're already into experimental rock, Pithecanthropus Erectus is a pretty easy in too

those are all the entry level of the entry level. what the fuck are you talking about?

>YouTube algorithm core

in terms of style you fucking moron
somebody who's never heard any jazz and listens to indie rock and hip hop isn't going to immediately find the massive, meandering Bitch's Brew an instant classic

This.
OP will run screaming from A Love Supreme.
Start with:
Miles Davis - Kind of Blue
Dave Brubeck - Time Out
Bill Evans - Sunday Night at Village Vangard
And start exploring both the back catalogue of the artists in the years around these records, and the people playing in these records.
And I would avoid any Avant Garde or Free jazz for a year until Jazz ‘clicks’
Just my thoughts, and good luck

so OP, what do you think? you listen to any of them? gonna actually have a discussion?

if you can't sit through A Love Supreme you have no business getting into jazz. it's incredibly fucking accessible. are you people toddlers? you're just recommending a bunch of elevator jazz window dressing shit

why would he or anyone on this board do that? this place is just unfunny zoomer reddit memes, chart threads with fantano picks, and shit flinging about scaruffi now

>jazz isn't noteworthy unless it's free jazz

Three great albums with very different styles, so an excellent place to start:
Kind of Blue
Bitches Brew
A Love Supreme

if you think ALS is Free Jazz, you are pants-on-head retarded

In your opinion.
In mine, Love Supreme is a wall of sound and incomprehensible to an unprepared ear.

Stop being a tryhard, stop blasting through albums /mu told you to like and then pretending you’ve liked them forever. And stop being the loud obnoxious guy that no one likes
>dude, I drank a bottle of whiskey. You must be a pussy.
No you didn’t
>I ate the hottest chilli, didn’t even feel a thing. You must be a pussy.
No you didn’t

>wall of sound
>incomprehensible
also no i haven't blasted through albums Yea Forums told me to listen to. i despise 99% of the taste of this board. i've been here for ten years and been listening to jazz about as long. ALS was one of the very early things that opened my ears to it not all being grandma music and you want to give OP the equivalent of chill hip hop beats to study to: piano edition so that he can be another one of you insufferable plebbitors who's all "ah yes jazz i surely enjoy some of that" and just stays stuck on the fucking '50s forever

cecil taylor - unit structures

>shit flinging about scaruffi now
at least 1 good thing happened to this place

Check out Brad Mehldau

>A Love Supreme

If you don't instantly fall in love with it Jazz is not for you

You are so fucking gay man.

I'm following this

I'm a huge jazz pleb. The only albums I really like are A Love Supreme, In a Silent Way, and Head Hunters. So I have no idea what you're talking about when you say those kinds of albums aren't entry level. To say A Love Supreme is incomprehensible to an unprepared ear is flat-out wrong.

Billy Cobham - Spectrum

That kind of got me into Jazz. Its Jazz fusion tho

giant steps, soul station, in a silent way

>people found out about it from youtube therefore it is bad

idk, I think it depends on the person
I found Kind of Blue pleasant but boring when I was starting out and only came to really appreciate it later
meanwhile, A Love Supreme was the first jazz album I really loved, it's so clearly intense and passionate that it really shatters the whole "background music" impression people usually have about jazz

but I do think Africa / Brass is a better entry into Coltrane, it's just as intense but more easily digestible

I'm going to spoonfeed the retards until they all figure out that hip-hop is plagiarism and there's nothing you can do about it, bitch.
