ask deej

gunther schuller

hmm i thought that stuff came from the other direction: american composers like bernstein having blue note riffs and wilder syncopation

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)

should have mentioned, roc marciano's another crit rap dude whose album i was feeling this year

deej,

what's a good intro to sun ra and/or duke ellington

sun ra's greatest hits (lol title) is actually a pretty diverse & well ranging comp

ty!

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

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

nah that was a typo sorry :(

got my hopes up u_u

money jungle is next lvl

rly tho

can we change this to 'tell deej' where ppl tell me what ive been missing out in esp in the worlds of dance, R&B, bobbins, pop, non-rap, whatever happened to the ppl who used to listen to beardo, etc.

working FT means i feel out of the loop on old pet genres

i mean pref if you have a vague idea of what my taste is already

apologies in advance if this is self indulgent

aw

thought that meant "working Freaky Trigger means i feel out of the loop"

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.

this remix of it that came out today is nice, mostly for the middle section: https://soundcloud.com/faltydl/jose-james-sward-gun-faltydl

dope will check it out

deej: what undie or backpacker-ish stuff (current) would you stan for?

(srs question!)

Need to give props to deej for being among the first to definitively call out RT as a sock

which is important because there's really no proof or convincing argument that RT is a sock but people love saying it?

Oh snap I think I misinterpreted the Admin Log

Props... retracted

Move to strike props from the record
