listened to this one
Jayden Bennett
mostly cool jazz like chet baker and bill evans. Jazz guitar with wes montgomery, I've grown accustomed to your face played by him is my favourite. For modern jazz, even though normalfags circulate around it, would be Tiny Little Adiantum, a touhou jazz (bossa) song. Shibayan records put out some touhou bossa nova and I think it's interesting having cute voices in jazz

I've been listening to two Flip Phillips albums:
>The Flip Phillips Buddy Rich Trio
8/10. Really really great bebop, with a minor cool jazz and swing influences (Buddy Rich is, after all, a swing drummer). Among the best albums from 1953.
>Swinging With Flip
7/10. It's a big mixture of bebop and swing, with a few cool jazz elements. Nothing really really special apart from "Goodbye", a truly amazing cool track.

Clark's comping is often as or more entertaining than the soloing. They complement each other nicely, it's just Clark comes through with so many good ideas and plays off Blakey so well that it's like the horns are playing second fiddle to their interactions sometimes.
I often prefer it to Clark's soloing too. The rhythm section gives Clark a lot more space to breath which frees him up to play some pretty awesome stuff, but I think the best moments on this are the ensemble moments in the heads and the horn solos.
>What's your favourite Cecil Taylor record?
Conquistador, but , One too Many and Silent Tongues are also acceptable answers.
Tbh, there are a lot of not terrible answers. He's got a pretty solid body of work.

what did you dislike on the second album?
Anthony Bell
The bebop and swing combination, mainly. What pleases me the most on bebop are improvisations and the emotional freedom during them. The swing influences attaches the song to a very clear and repetitive melody, and the track becomes too artificial to me.
Lucas Jenkins
By swing do you mean that kind of big band era swing style? Haven't heard the record, but I think I get what you mean. It's a lot more regular and predictable. Syncopation and rhythmic ideas in jazz have gotten better since then for sure.
A lot of bebop swings pretty hard too though, it's just subtler sounding with the fast tempos and all the added complexity in the music.
Thomas Cooper
>By swing do you mean that kind of big band era swing style?
Yea, this one.
I like some records of the genre, but it really bothers me when one tries to blend it with bebop elements, like on that record. The drums are generally the biggest difference. If you compare some Max Roach album with a Buddy Rich one, I notice how weird it is when they try to fit a swing-esque drums on a bebop track.
I used Rich as an example but he is the swing drummer who best adapted to the bebop conventions. Apart from that 8/10 album with Philips, he plays on 1952's Bird and Diz, a complete 10/10 imo.

What are the essential acid jazz albums?
Nolan Bailey
Acid jazz isn't jazz. It's funk/soul mostly.
Jamiroquai's first three albums are amazing essential albums regardless of genre though.
