All Inclusive "Recommend Me For Music" Thread

bassbone:
Check out some Wycliffe Gordon for some amazingly soulful trombone playing. One of his albums is a pure gospel album, but it's heart and soul is jazz. ONe of the best records in my collection. Also, anything with "Jay and Kai" is a good bet. JJ Johnsen and Kai Winding are two of the greatest trombone players of all time. I know, I know, it seems like I'm focusing on trombone too much, but imo it gets short shrift in the music world. A wholly underappreciated instrument.

I second a lot of what's said further up. John Coltrane's Blue Train is always a good bed. So is the Count Basie Orchestra, one of the most swingin' bands of all time. If you can check out Duke Ellington Meets Count Basie which has both bands playing together some incredible charts. One of the best ways to get into Jazz is to go to local shows and talk to the musicians. They'll be able to help.

Fortnight:
Raymond Scott!! EEEEEEEEEE

penpen17:
ELLA FITZGERALD

Also, some of Regina Spektor's stuff is very jazz-influenced (especially 11:11)

jeph:
I really like that new Nachtmystium album, but I know precious little about the genre as a whole. TELL ME ABOUT SOME OTHER BANDS YOU THINK I MIGHT ENJOY.

Bonus points if the recording quality isn't complete trash, but I realize that may be asking a bit much since I guess that is part of the black metal "sound"?

Storm Rider:
Yeah, shitty sound quality is more or less 'the deal' with black metal.

While they're not techinically 'pure' black metal, Absu is amazing.

EDIT: Khar and Troll probably have the final word on this, but I'd also suggest Satyricon, Xasthur, and Ulver. Maybe Immortal too.
