fasstrack Posted June 19, 2006 Report Posted June 19, 2006 (edited) Uh oh. You've picked a slippery slope to go down, my friend. A slippery slope Edited June 19, 2006 by fasstrack Quote

king ubu Posted June 19, 2006 Report Posted June 19, 2006 There have been threads about "tenor saxophonists under 40" and similar ones, do some searches! Quote

JSngry Posted June 19, 2006 Report Posted June 19, 2006 And if you're watching TV Land, you're watching modern television. "Modern" & "timeless" aren't the same thing, and the overlap between the two (in either direction) is not always a given. Quote
JSngry Posted June 19, 2006 Report Posted June 19, 2006 Okay, I been stuck in the 50's too long. I need to listen to some modern cats. Do you mean "modern" as in stuff that's got the past 50 years in it, or "modern" as in stuff that's still basically like the 50s, only a little dressed up? Bit of a difference... Quote
Jazz Kat Posted June 19, 2006 Author Report Posted June 19, 2006 Music that's got a little bit of everything in it. (well not, everything.....) Mainly a mixture of tunes that swing, some funk, latin, free, etc. Not one sided. Quote
Aggie87 Posted June 19, 2006 Report Posted June 19, 2006 Spend a day or two just searching around this board (as if you didn't already know that). There are plenty of threads about just about every "new jazz" offering available. Look at the threads with year-end best of lists, the new release section, etc. Quote

Mainly a mixture of tunes that swing, some funk, latin, free, etc. Not one sided. Have you checked out Steve Coleman's later work? Or Henry Threadgill's? Or Jonas Kullhammer's? But I gotta ask - what do you mean by "swing"? Because there's the school that looks at that word as a quality that comes in many forms, and there's another that looks at it as a more or less specific "style". Quote

Jazz Kat Posted June 22, 2006 Author Report Posted June 22, 2006 I have a question about Metheny. Is Trio 99-00 the album that has 'Go Get It?' Quote
marcello Posted June 22, 2006 Report Posted June 22, 2006 Joe Farrell, though great on some recordings, has been dead for some time. I thought you were looking for current artists? Try Geoffrey Keezer latest: WILDCRAFTED Quote
Jazz Kat Posted June 22, 2006 Author Report Posted June 22, 2006 Yeah, but I like his stuff, and it still sounds fresh to me. Quote
Dave James Posted June 22, 2006 Report Posted June 22, 2006 Okay, I been stuck in the 50's too long. I need to listen to some modern cats. Why? IMO, there are few comtemporary jazz musicians who can hold a candle to the guys you've been listening to. Even if there were a bunch of them, they are mostly doing variations on the same theme. Why not stick with the originals? Up over and out. Quote

Why not stick with the originals? Up over and out. Don't know if I agree with this statement. While I agree that there are MANY musicians that are re-hashing the old stuff with a slight twist, there are lots contemporary voices with pleanty to say. Vijay Iyer, Jason Moran, Ben Allison, William Parker, Kurt Rosenwinkel to name a few.....they are all fresh, innovative players who respect tradition yet manage to sound like nobody else but themselves.

danasgoodstuff Posted June 23, 2006 Report Posted June 23, 2006 Maybe Jazz Kat will agree that it's all been done before, maybe not. but he needs to figure that out for himself. Quote
