the fellowship always kind of surprises me, inasmuch as they don't sound like what I would imagine a Blade-led group to sound like (i.e. they're not what I imagined his taste to be)

idk, his playing is so hip and edgy, and their sound is relatively easy-going

btw is it just me or does that piano have kind of an odd sound
― --808 542137 (Hurting 2), Monday, 15 April 2013 14:34 (eleven years ago) link
i love that he's a folkie at heart and that the fellowship is so melody-based. my favorite band in jazz.
― shit tie (Jordan), Monday, 15 April 2013 14:38 (eleven years ago) link
he's def my favorite working drummer in jazz
― --808 542137 (Hurting 2), Monday, 15 April 2013 14:38 (eleven years ago) link
there are so many hip, super-accomplished drummers these days but he's got that elvin thing where he can just kill you with one hit.
― shit tie (Jordan), Monday, 15 April 2013 14:40 (eleven years ago) link
yeah I think there are probably more killer jazz drummers than ever in terms of versatility and chops and groove, but he all that plus a ridiculous amount of style
― --808 542137 (Hurting 2), Monday, 15 April 2013 14:43 (eleven years ago) link
I guess I attribute the first part of that to the proliferation of jazz schools?
― --808 542137 (Hurting 2), Monday, 15 April 2013 14:44 (eleven years ago) link
i wonder how much could be attributed to Youtube, like young kids watching gospel chops videos for inspiration/competition/ideas before they get to musical school.

I don't actually like it very much, compared with their last album. But I need to give it another chance or two.

I am really close to really digging the new Rudresh Mahanthappa, but I can't quite get into the way it sounds -- it has that shiny metallic 90s jazz sound that I thought had mostly died out. I hate the way the drums are recorded to sound more like rock drums.

yeah I started getting into carnatic music in general and then discovered him just by poking around. Right now I'm listening to this live thing on Spotify, part of the "Gems of Carnatic Music" series. It says it's 2006 but there's no venue listed.

Listening to the new Terence Blanchard album, Magnetic; comes out 5/28 and features guest spots from Ravi Coltrane, Ron Carter and Lionel Loueke in addition to the core band (Brice Winston on tenor, Fabian Almazan on piano, Joshua Crumbly on bass, Kendrick Scott on drums). Pretty hot stuff, not as moody as some of his previous records (which I also liked).

Also, I just ordered one of those Complete Black Saint & Soul Note Recordings boxes, this one by Muhal Richard Abrams. Eight CDs for $40 including shipping, and it seems to be mostly big band/orchestra stuff. Intrigued to hear it; I know almost nothing about Abrams' work, so this is basically a starting point for me.

Been listening to this Jemeel Moondoc Trio record from 1982, with Ed Blackwell on drums. I love his drumming so much. I've actually loved his drumming pretty much as long as I have been listening to jazz, since when I first heard him on Ornette Coleman records.

debated keeping the red norvo trio EP just in case i decided to become a Mingus completist, but i don't think i have enough time or money to become a Mingus completist. plus, i have the collected trio 2XLP and i think that's probably good for me. the original math rockers.

Just got a download of the new Nick Hempton Band CD, Odd Man Out. It's coming out on 8/13 (available digitally starting 7/30). It's his second for Posi-Tone, third overall. He's an alto saxophonist, originally from Australia but living/working in NYC since 2004. The band is a quartet (piano, bass, drums) but they add a trombonist on several tracks here. His music is straightahead, mostly uptempo hard bop and blues (he's on Posi-Tone), but his tone is clean and the band is tight, and I always like his albums.

I saw that guy downtown at B-flat a few months ago, subbing for the regular guy on their jazz night, he was pretty good. There are a few Aussie jazz musicians around town along with people who may have lived down there and may have been married to some of them at some point, a few of them are named Matt, playing piano and having spiky hair. The elder statesman of the down under scene is actually a Kiwi, I believe, Mike Nock.

Does anyone else ever go through long phases of jazz "burnout"? Maybe it's just because I started listening to jazz so young and listened so obsessively, but lately I find most jazz just doesn't scratch the right itch for me.

It's weird too, the way I perceive a lot of jazz seems to have changed, like it used to feel like this edgy sonic adventure for me, and now it feels more meandery and self-indulgent. I'm massively generalizing of course.

I'm sure it's also age -- I don't have that many opportunities to just sit down with a good pair of headphones and really get INTO a record, and sometimes jazz requires that.
