well, they should give more of a shit, cf that clipping review mentioned upthread where they 5.3 hip-hop history

how much of a shit any publication gives about areas of music is usually borne out by their eoy lists rather than their intermittent concessions

anyway whatever i fight this erry day and yall bored
isn't covering clipping at all the definition of "giving a shit"
― Whiney G. Weingarten, Wednesday, 21 September 2016 21:35 (eight years ago) link
yeah fine
still think they only really cover shit if it's fashionable and they infinitesimally rarely let an underdog at the throne. kanye has a 100000x bigger chance of a 9.something than any bandcamp mc regardless of the respective quality of their outputs (not saying kanye is bad, even)

At this point, I skim it in the bookstores, but feel guilty about that. Used to buy it almost monthly, but can't justify doing so given that I have subscriptions to several magazines that I never get around to finishing.
― Crazy Eddie & Jesus the Kid (Raymond Cummings), Thursday, 22 September 2016 02:10 (eight years ago) link
if the stuff that eg Phillip Sherburne and Andy Beta are reviewing is trendy then I must be particularly out of the loop these days
anyway it comes back to the actual writing - they might not award a BNM or even a top-of-page review to experimental stuff but if I read it and I think "hey this sounds like its for me and that 7.7 or whatever suggests it isn't awful then maybe I'll give it some time of my own and see if I form a better opinion of it"

I stopped my Wire subscription last year (for mainly financial reasons) and I feel a weird kind of guilt about it but not sure how much I actually miss it.

I saw him live too and unless you're in some kind of Wynton Marsalis bop utopia where fusion and the whole 70s and 80s never happened....I dunt know how you can call it not jazz that's just lj level ludicrous

always good to judge a band by its audience

(deej otm tho)
I guess fusion jazz or whatever got pretty far from what noobs (like me) think of as /jazz/, especially live the drums were so beefy and playing like, banging hip hop beats; The other concert that Kamasi live most reminded me of was The Roots
― flopson, Thursday, 22 September 2016 17:58 (eight years ago) link
everyone plays beats in jazz these days, we've had so many generations raised on beats that it feels like the natural and honest approach for young jazz musicians, whereas making the choice to swing feels very particular and antiquated.
i agree that this can feel jam band-y at times. a lot of bands are good at avoiding jam band pitfalls, but it's tricky.
― sam jax sax jam (Jordan), Thursday, 22 September 2016 18:13 (eight years ago) link
banging hip hop beats
but... so many banging hip hop beats are/were sampled from jazz records
― Οὖτις, Thursday, 22 September 2016 18:14 (eight years ago) link
those rhythms have been key elements of jazz since the late 60s, when swing rhythms stopped being so omnipresent
― Οὖτις, Thursday, 22 September 2016 18:15 (eight years ago) link
kinda feel like we should have a dedicated spiritual hat jazz thread tbh
― Οὖτις, Thursday, 22 September 2016 18:16 (eight years ago) link
right but i think it's changed even in the last 10-15 years. like when i was trying to play jazz in college it felt like we were getting away with something by playing beats, or it was ok to do that once or twice a set to change up the feel, like the obligatory latin jazz tune. and now you're just as likely to see shows where the ratio has flipped, or that's how it seems to me anyway.
― sam jax sax jam (Jordan), Thursday, 22 September 2016 18:24 (eight years ago) link
A lot of funk samples too :P
As open a genre as jazz is, I think it might have room for some works being categorized both funk/soul AND jazz
― niels, Thursday, 22 September 2016 18:26 (eight years ago) link
interesting observation, I've thought more than once in that same period that the standard jazz swing beat is just a thing that's almost completely vanished from modern musical vocabulary. It was everywhere for decades, and now it's just kinda gone.

Let's talk about late 60s/early 70s freeish Afrocentric/spiritual/astral jazz ("fire music"). could serve as a dedicated spiritual hat jazz thread

the soloing on the kamasi record... it's completely jazz style soloing, melodically, rhythmically...
― brimstead, Thursday, 22 September 2016 19:16 (eight years ago) link
i agree! live it was notably different.

Kamasi is in the latest Marc Maron podcast, which is a, ah, thing (Ben Ratliff also puts in an appearance).

Yeah, I listened to it today. I'm not the biggest Maron fan, but it was an interesting conversation. (A lot more interesting than the Ratliff segment.)
