>Whatcha listenin' to?
I wanted to listen to Bill Evans so I put on the album with the most Bill Evans I could think of. Conversations with Myself would be a better album if it was in mono. I would rather not be so aware of how the album was recorded and listening on headphones the mixing for the two pianos sounds different and occasionally you just get complete silence in one ear punctuated by sparse notes and sometimes it sounds disconnected from what's happening in the other recording. Some tracks it is really nice because you get very clear call and responses and having them specially separated is nice but most of the time it is just disconcerting and disjointed.
>Any recent good finds?
Not really. I've mostly been listening to classical when trying new records the past few weeks. I did listen to this one Herb Ellis album that Youtube has been trying to get me to listen to for ages named Windflower. Pretty competently played cool jazz that I can see becoming the next Scenery if the algorithm keeps shilling it.
>Favorite album from this year?
Pic related is great. It's very well paced and the Lyra gives it this old world sound that makes me wanna use it as part of my soundtrack for a Dnd campaign set during the Punic wars I'm working on.

>Favorite album from this year?
I urge everyone to listen to Brownswood Records' new compilation Sunny Side Up, which mirrors what the We Out Here compilation did for the London scene, but this time for the Melbourne scene
there have been some very good jazz releases this year, but I would highlight this Coltrane worship one: dottimerecords.bandcamp.com
Joseph Turner

Gavin Reed
CERTAIN BLACKS, CERTAIN BLACKS
love this one, art ensemble of chicago doesn't miss
Colton Collins
Ryan Sanders
This thread is gonna die fast but
What's the easiest/fastest way to learn jazz harmony?
Leo Powell
John Perez
Does this count?
Luke Scott
no
Luis Garcia
Ok, then this one. I've already posted it before but I think it's great
Jonathan Sullivan
This fucking Phoenix Wright jazz album is actually surprisingly good
youtube.com
David Watson
I should give that one another pass.
Chase Thomas
Fuckin Corey Henry is the shit boys
Luke Russell
he's dece but a bit of a one-trick pony
his solo in lingus is amazing but once you listen to it a few times you can hear it's pretty rehearsed
Michael Sullivan
Anybody else tired of the London scene thing? It was cool for a little bit like last year but really how many bands doing the "Pharoah Sanders + hip hop beats" do we need?
Isaac Martinez
I swear it's every other headline act here in the UK
Andrew Roberts
Still better than New York where it is all just endless rehash of Wayne Shorter/Herbie Hancock but on steroids or obnoxious and self indulgent free jazz.
Luke Mitchell
nothin compared to the best of the 60s and early 70s but it's the freshest thing in jazz right now i guess
Adam Morales
it's not fresh when it seems like there are dozens of "young london talents" who all sound the same being played constantly
Gabriel Morris
fusion chads coming through
Jaxon Parker
Anyone super into Marian Mcpartland's Piano Jazz?
youtube.com
Cameron Green
I’ll take the rehash of Shorter and Hancock any day. That post bop style has unlimited potential for reinvention imo.
fresh =/= good (see: the FRESH steaming coil of shit I left in my toilet bowl this morning)
Angel Gray
That sound is all just a fad that probably hit the height of its popularity last summer/fall and is already on its way out.
Isaac Miller
>Dnd campaign set during the Punic wars
lol why
why not SoS or something hacked from glorantha or burning wheel?
Colton Watson
he swing
Aaron Moore
This looks cool
William Roberts
I listened to bohren & der club of gore, is there anything else which is similar?
Aiden Baker
didn't say it was good but it's the biggest movement in jazz right now. it's possible something great can come out the scene.
