trying to think of artists who are popular among musicians but were never popular commercially (probably applies to a TON of rap dudes. also to Sun Ra lol)

wasn't brubeck kinda influential in that whole button-down "third stream music" thing that supposedly was taking classical type hongro compositional shit and marrying it to jazz?
(tho ellington already did that i guess)

gunther schuller
hmm i thought that stuff came from the other direction: american composers like bernstein having blue note riffs and wilder syncopation
― goole, Friday, 17 December 2010 22:51 (thirteen years ago) link
maybe it's both! (actually my knowledge of the whole deal is pretty limited to some liner notes essays on a couple used jazz records -- one of which might actually be MJQ come to think)

ellington depends on what era u are looking for ... his most influential / significant stuff was cotton club era -- where they started calling his style 'jungle music' -- 1927-1932. i think ppl consider his most influential stuff to go into the early 40s

bubber miley on tpt!!
a lot of folks will rep for his 'comeback' live cd at newport, which is cool, or 'far east suite' which is awesome. 70th birthday party cd has some insane stuff. money jungle trio records w/ mingus & roach are incomparable esp 'fleurette africain' which is probably the most beautiful song ever made. my mindgarden fav is 'side by side' w/ johnny hodges, partic. 'stompy jones' which has an incredible solo from sweets edison
but his real impact was in the late 20s / thru the 30s. this is probably a great comp, i just have a bunch of cds the un-comprehensively cover this era: http://www.allmusic.com/album/creole-rhapsody-duke-ellington-in-the-thirties-r942498

oh yeah when i was covering his later stuff i forgot to mention his album with john coltrane, their version of 'in a sentimental mood' kills

i could really just listen to this stuff all day ... i love the way the trumpet solo on this one gets so close to replicating talking
― *plop*ism rules (deej), Sunday, 19 December 2010 02:11 (thirteen years ago) link
wait, is there more duke/mingus/roach than just money jungle then? cause shit that is one of my favorite jazz records i need more i need more

did you hear that Jose James record? i feel like you'd like it. it would be less remarkable if it didn't have Chris Dave (and Nate Smith) on drums, but it does. first half esp. is really nice.

Need to give props to deej for being among the first to definitively call out RT as a sock
― 龜, Thursday, 8 January 2015 22:23 (nine years ago) link
which is important because there's really no proof or convincing argument that RT is a sock but people love saying it?
