Any jazz heads wandering out here on the board. Drop me an email we can exchange favortie artists and shit.O by the way, anybody want to check out some nasty guitar players, pick up Mike Stern's "Play", it featured 3 of the best players ive ever heard. Mike, who played for Miles Davis, John Scofield who also played for Miles, and Bill Frisell. And his rythm section is fuckin' tight.

God i love the bass!

Oh my!!! how could we have forgotten them. The Marsalis boys are definite Hall of Famers. And I often listen to Benny on the way to work, bouncing all around the car all psyched(more energizing than the coffee). TR message buddy Hall of Famers that is. I had a little music lesson last night and found out JM's band collaboration is Remember Shakti not the recording's name. Fluffy can probably straighten me out on this. JM has done so much collaborative stuff it still mixes me up a little. All I know is it is all just so amazing. I think the stuff with Billy Cobham is my favorite stuff, but its kinda like TR's stuff....who could ever pick a fav!

I think these guys need to be added onto the "working list": Stanley Turrentine, Branford Marsalis, Wynton Marsalis, and Mr. B. Goodman.

I'm listening to a JM song called "The Wish" which I'm downloading right now. I can definitely see how this man has had a huge influence on Tim. I've never really taken the time to listen to his work. It looks like it's going to influence me too!
Peace,

A friend just gave me the Shakti recording, by JM....it's sooooooo good! Independent of space and time I'd say. I think the recording is from the 70's or something, but you'd never guess when it was recorded. It goes from trippy spacey eastern-like stuff into incredible fusion guitar stuff and back and forth. I'm still not sure how that man's fingers move so quickly.

Tim has had alot of jazz influences, he spent a good portion of his life only listening to jazz. I would say, if he had to pick the one who had influenced him the most, it would probably be John McLaughlin. Especially in McLaughlin's Shakti period. Hope this helps, GREAT to see you back, missed ya!!

If any of you get the chance to see Charlie Hunter you should go. He's an amazing fusion jazz guitarist whos kinda like a cross between Pat Martino and Scofield. He's not like anyone really but if you like either Martino or Scofield you'd love CH.

Yeah, someone can have "perfect" technique and still not be musical, that's where style comes in. Flea definitely has that. I think it's interesting that a post that started w/ jazz has come around to talking about Flea, not that there's anything wrong w/ that...so to segway back into jazz-if anyone wants to hear some great jazz bass players, check out Stanley Clarke, Ron Carter, Paul Chambers, Victor Wooten, John Pattitucci, and there are so many others.

Not only by his technique, but also by his style. Some would argue that they are the same thing, but I disagree. I have seen lots of slappin bass players, but none come close to the originality and sheer precision of Flea. There are some others out there but you have to delve more into funk to find them. But Flea still slaps the hell out of it and still manages to make it melodic and rhythmic all at the same time. Flea is the man!!

Yeah, i saw it, it's a hilarious video, even though it's not very informative from a bass player's perspective, but it's still in my video collection just because i love how someone can be so good while knowing (bookwise/theory) so little. This bass player in my reading class at Music Tech was ripping on him saying that he overplays too much and relies on slapping to get through songs and i almost slapped him. I made him buy Blood Sugar Sex Magik so he could hear how supportive and articulate he can be.

A random question. has anyone ever seen the instructional bass video by flea of the chilli peppers?with river phoenix hosting? theyre a decent band but flea is actually a pretty talented musician. It is the absolute funniest thing i have ever seen in my life. The kid is crazy but he knows jazz real well and he sings this armstrong song thats like " all that meat and nooo potatoesss... just ain't right like greeeennn toommatoes" mman. he's so goofy and innocent like dopey and he scratches his head alot and uses lil words, but he really knows how to listen to people and he emphasized that whith improvisational music you have to listenin and respect the people your playing with and love is what its all about. then he made a bunch of funny noises

Kenny is jazz for people who know ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about jazz. So his 'music' doesn't even have to really be jazz for people to consider it jazz... all it takes is for Oprah to tell them that it's good and they will buy it...and they tell their friends that it's good, and their friends buy it...and so on...helping our least-favorite guy (next to mr.durst) sell millions of cds. anyone can sell cds with major backing by a record label...but only someone with true talent can have real fans like tim.
As for why doctors play kenny, it's probably because it is so mind numbing that it serves as a pain killer....seriously =D

I love Jazz!! And I actually have to admit that it was DMB that introduced me to Jazz. I've yet to get into the older stuff but I'd definitely like to! Here is what I listen to right now... keep in mind I'm a new fan.
Medeski Martin & Wood
Bela & da Tones
Soko
Greg Howard
John Mclaughlin (friday night in SF baby!!!!)
Ottmar Liebert
VTT2
Victor Wooten
Zappa
That seems like a small list... I must be missing stuff.
Anyways I forgot to mentio that I only dig fusion jazz/ avant-gard kinda stuff. I can't stand Smooth Jazz. (gag)

Yea Fluffy, Friday Night in S.F is definately fucking amazing, I was just dropped when I that album. One of my other faves is Kind of Blue by Miles, it reminds me of tim when he plays with puke matrix, the song just have little signposts about where the players are supposed to be and so much of it is straight emotional improv, just awesome. Hey thanks for the list man I know and love most of them but Im gonna check out some of those vocalists you mentioned.

P.S. See if you can convince Tim to scat during Loose Interpretations. :)

Al DiMeola John McLaughlin Paco DeLucia "Passion Grace & Fire"
and "Friday Night in San Francisco" (these 2 albums
are amazing! 3 acoustic guitars going at it. 1 is mixed

AMAZING We listen to these on tour alot.)
Jazz vocalist faves:
Cab Calloway

Yeah I've gotten really into jazz the past year. miles davis, sketches of spain is the sound track to my life. i love it, i live in new orleans and im around good music most of the time. Im still in high school so i started goin this a school for the arts, New Orleans Creative Center for Arts, or nocca and im in a Jazz ensemble and i play guitar so i get to learn so much and its just beautiful. they have a huge music library and i can take cd's home all the time so i have access to a lot of good stuff. coltrane is great i really love parker and Charles Mingus. he makes me want to play upwright bass. I like all kinds of music and its great to have a jazz influence on my playing. also i think i know the guitar better as far as soloing goes cause i can be more expressive and free with whatever comes and i can hear the notes in my head before i play em.

Posted - 11/21/2001 : 10:02:34 PM
Yeah man, Jazz is definitely my first love, music-wise. (Up there with Tim) I'm a sax man myself and lately i've been very much into Phil Woods, that guy was freakin badass =D Just got his album Musique Du Bois from cd now on monday, it was recently re-released by 32 Jazz. Other players that i'm into are Joshua Redman, he's great and he's still touring, that's a bonus. Also Michael Brecker, Eric Marienthal... Dexter Gordon, Sonny Rollins, and of course Coltrane....Parker and Stitt not so much, I admire their technique and skill at improv but their music just doesn't hold that much emotion for me. Maybe i'm just not advanced enough jazz-wise to fully appreciate their playing.
Other than sax, I appreciate Tim's jazz playing, along with Miles, and basically anyone associated with quintet. Been listening to a little bit of Metheny lately, not too into that though...Bela Fleck and Victor Wooten are great, they definitely have a style all of their own, and the Yellow Jackets are always interesting to listen too. If you have any good jazz mp3s/shn that i might like drop me a line.

I appreciate jazz very much man...After playing for about 10 years now I think it is just a natural progression to move towards jazz...as far as playing goes. Oddly enough though I like more brass than guitar...My favorite would probably have to be John Coltrane...
