Sad Jazz
« on: 14 Dec 2007, 14:44 »
I'm looking for lone saxophonists or trumpeters  that sound, well, sad.  I'm not looking for an artist with just sad horn parts, there can be sad piano or drums parts as well. 

Don't just give me an artist, give me an artist and his/her best album, or where to start on their discography.  So, please, recommend my ear off!


Let it be known that I have been completely oblivious  to all things jazzy.

Presumably you've been through the painfully obvious A Love Supreme already?

Bohren & Der Club of Gore - Black Earth


This is a very serious recommendation.

If you haven't already picked up Miles Davis' Kind Of Blue, you are far behind.

Agreed.

Bill Evans with his trio is also quite good (and somewhat melancholy).  I recommend the album "Since We Met".  No horns though, just piano, bass, and drums.

Me too, I remember reading about them in Terrorizer years ago but I never got around to listening to them.

Tell her to buy a cosmo magazine, usually they have an article titled 101 ways to put stuff in your manfriend's butt.

You must get Ben Webster meets Oscar Peterson. It is the album you need. It is the album you all need.

I like this album very very very very much.  I'm grateful for all your help guys!

I had trouble finding this album.

Very true.  The rest of The Shape Of Jazz To Come doesn't really fit in with this, but it is as good a jazz album as you're ever going to find.  They don't make them any better, though there are a good few that are at the same level, I suppose.  Pick it up.
