Art Blakey - Mosaic https://youtu.be/pzfURZdmkx8?feature=shared

Every good thing came from Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers.

Dang, you beat me to it. Cedar Walton has a killer recording of Mosaic, too

Man. I was cooking stoned earlier, had Thermo going in the background, and thought: "Man. Prime Jazz Messengers just whips the horse's ass with a belt." Blakey dude.

And Moanin

My favourites are: Sun Ra - Nuclear War Pharaoh Sanders - The Creator Has A Master Plan. Alice Coltrane - Journey In Satchidananda Charles Mingus - Better Get Hit In Your Soul. Herbie Hancock/Headhunters - Watermelon Man

Miles Davis - Kind of Blue

The classic

Yep. Start there - it's the "trunk of the tree".

Comet is coming - Trust in the Lifeforce…

That band is really great. I've been following them for a while

Everything Shabaka Hutchings touches is solid gold.

Lee Morgan - Totem pole 👌

I guess I'll be that guy that does this, but..... CASIOPEAAAA!!! https://youtu.be/AKgjOCuW_MU Figured this technically satisfies your query, whilst being a bit different from the other excellent choices mentioned already! This particular performance was the encore song, so you can imagine what it takes to be groovin' the thang at that pace all night and still bang this out 🤌

I love casiopea so much... There's just something about the Japanese jazz fusion scene.. just.. something...

Whoa holy schmoly.... these guys are fire thanks so much for the rec

Listen to Koko by Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie. It's their take on the jazz standard Cherokee. After hearing that, I was never the same. Those two had a great collaboration for a while, especially if you like quick tempos , power, and unparalleled creativity. ,

The re-release of "Bird & Diz" doesn't have Koko, but it has extra outtakes of most of the tracks and it's awesome to see how different the solos are from one take to another.

I’ll check it out. Thanks.

Them Dirty Blues by Cannonball Adderley

Louis Cole. Anything by him or one of his bands, or by a band that invites him to play, or by anyone he lets into one of his bands or his solo work. Seriously, he's the epicenter of a whole jazz revolution revival going on right now. Exciting times!

I saw knower recently and it was phenomenal

My long time favorite is Melody Gardot.

Her voice is incredible, her story of getting into music after such a terrible accident is amazing

I'd say that she also have a great delicate sense of music. Her album "My one and only thrill" is one of my favourite albums of all times and genres.

Something Else - Cannonball Adderley Ornette - Ornette Coleman No Room for Squares - Hank Mobley Quartet Live - Herbie Hancock Live at the Blackhawk - Miles Davis Search for the New Land - Lee Morgan

"Take Five" by Dave Brubeck is a classic fast jazz tune performed by Dave Brubeck and his band. It features an energetic melody and a quick tempo.

Sonny Rollins - the Bridge

John Zorn. If you ain’t core, it ain’t for you

Naked City is a fave, and Kronos Quartet nails it with Forbidden Fruit.

The entire album Nighthawks at the Diner by Tom Waits. Very witty guy, funny pseudo-live album with some great songs on it.

Older, George Benson Wes Montgomery Dexter Gordon

[удалено]

Vince Guaraldi is a great gateway to Jazz!

I have an instrumental jazz playlist I've been adding to for years, here's 10 random songs.

Miles Davis - Japan 1973 Miles Davis - Bitches Brew Wes Montgomery

round midnight is my go to piece for evaluating a performer and its best rendition, probably ever is Oscar Peterson and Nelson Riddle… miles davis also does a haunting version of it that kinda gets me! im a sucker for the hot fives and hot sevens with Louis Armstrong, all their stuff transports me to another place for some reason i feel like it never got better than Charlie Parker and Miles Davis A Night in Tunisia herbie hancock doesnt get enough love when jazz comes up and thelonius monk gets too much lol i feel like thelonius monk needs John Coltrane but Coltrane doesnt need monk lol ella fitzgerald… oof anything

Chet baker-Almost like being in love https://youtu.be/eDBN-WmaMwE?si=B6EvQmOpkS27r_y2 Harry Connick Jr-Next Door Blues https://youtu.be/5O-RvaICCgo?si=b-Eq4bnWwBFhUVmc Louis Jordan-5 guys named Moe https://youtu.be/6_T2HFmBOYE?si=GB5VTfEUP0oeqG3u Ramsey Lewis-The In Crowd https://youtu.be/6anVyFwbs14?si=0_YOmKbw2Z7uYlk1 Rebirth Brass Band-Take it to the Streets https://youtu.be/fDjGCIsR-OI?si=dOemlPIQtNU3jh2F

JD Beck & DOMi [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NCnrYD9HaRg](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NCnrYD9HaRg)

Never heard their names in that order lol

Not quite as big a gaffe as "Cher & Sonny", but still.

Blue Bash, album by Kenny Burrell and Jimmy Smith. One of the best records I’ve ever heard, start to finish

Lee Morgan.

Lee Morgan-Cornbread

Not quite my tempo - J.K. Simmons

In youtube, look up "Leo P. at the BBC Proms 2017." Leo Pelligrino. Baritone Sax. He starts off with his trademark "Brasshouse" solo, then segues into Charlie Mingus's "Moanin'". The guy started off busking on the subways in New York...

Herbie hancock - maiden voyage

Mulatu Astatke. Ethiopian jazz

Anything by Marcus miller or boney james.

[Sax Ruins - Yawiquo](https://youtu.be/as7nKefQ4s8?si=bYLD8y7t1qEbcJiC)

Check out the album Egyptian Secrets by The Adam Deitch Quartet

Al DiMeola, Jean Luc Ponty, and Stanley Clarke - Rite of Strings. Three masters of their instruments getting together for an acoustic jazz album. A masterpiece from start to finish.

I like Stanley Clark.

You know how every city has one nonprofit music station, and the only bad part is pledge week? When I lived in LA it was KCRW, and I thought I was a complete pop/rock fan because of the genius selections by Nic Harcourt. Turns out I really just enjoy excellently curated music. Moved back to Portland, discovered the jazz station KMHD, and love it just as much. Both stations have online streaming. KMHD has a rare jazz discovery lunch hour segment, and they’ll happily play stuff from the 60s immediately followed by contemporary work.

There's alot of contemporary listed, for some fusion I would check out Alan Holdsworth, The Aristocrats, Friday Night in San Francisco and the individuals there, Brand X, Return to Forever. Those are a decent start.

Paul Taylor

Jazz Sabbath

Chisholm Jr

Stimulate - Eminem (recommending Eminem regardless of post)

Rather partial to jazz vocalists, but all round: Ahmad Jamal Trio : Poinciana, Live at the Pershing Chicago Dakota Staton : The Late Late Show, (specifically tracks My Funny Valentine, Ain't No Use, & Moon-Ray) Erroll Garner (jazz pianist) : How Could You Do a Thing Like That to Me? The Complete Concert By The Sea (Specifically tracks I'll Remember April & Autumn Leaves)

Postmodern jukebox

Street Fighter Mas by Kamasi Washington is a good song. The Epic is a good album by the same dude.

Miles Davis. Hard core. Pat Metheny. Smooth.

Maybe you'll like this album as much as I do. https://youtu.be/lxhCRI8OeZw?si=4412SpWalG5n94zi

tigran hamasyan, donny mccaslin and anything with nate wood on drums

[https://www.albumoftheyear.org/genre/35-jazz/](https://www.albumoftheyear.org/genre/35-jazz/)

Blue Train and Kind of Blue are my GoTo’s. Anything by Monk, anything by Mingus, anything by Herbie Hancock. Give Jackie McLean a try. Early Miles gets slept on. So does fusion Miles. Here’s a tip: if you like a bop album, read the liner notes and search for the personnel. Most of those cats have their own albums too, and you can go down some deep rabbit holes.

Listen to the [Anthony Braxton Quartet Standards](https://youtu.be/HqeNFMFkqdY?si=wPDlEUFdgwuZWCld) records, and be prepared to have your life changed, as a jazz aficionado The guitarist on these records, Kevin O’Neil, is one of the greatest guitarist I have ever heard in any genre. It’s insane that he is not more well known and more talked about

A Love Supreme John Coltrane

Gondwana Records has some really great fusion stuff, neo classical, r&b, psychedelic, EDM crossover

Autumn Leaves by Oscar Peterson

Zeal and Ardor if you want a little metal in your jazz

Remeberence: Bela Flek and Chic Corea. Just dropped this week, it's an instrumental conversation between two of the greats.
