All Inclusive "Recommend Me For Music" Thread
Banana_Hammock:
I have been trying to get into Jazz lately but I don’t really know where to start…
I have a rather diverse music taste, stretching from Johnny Cash to Velvet Underground to the Clash to Neutral Milk Hotel and beyond, but Jazz is a mystery to me, mainly because my father whom has inspired my music taste a lot hates it…
I’ve bought a few Miles Davis albums (Birth of Cool, Kind of Blue and Porgy and Bess) which I love, but I don’t really know where to go from here. Any suggestions?
mrpaku:
I'd say most anything by John Coltrane.
Thrillho:
The National Anthem by Radiohead is probably a decent starting point. It's kind of them saying 'what if we did jazz?'
It's not completely jazz, I guess. Proper jazz fans would probably shit on it, but it's got the kind of squeaky horn wankery on it that has become synonymous with jazz.
timehat:
Keeping things diverse: Mahavishnu Orchestra, McCoy Tyner, Ornette Coleman, Antonio Carlos Jobim (not technically jazz, but very influenced by it and very influential to it).
Fipher:
If you're looking for big band type jazz, Frank Senatra is King while Glenn Miller is like his brother who didn't get the throne because of some minor detail in the law of the crown.
