I'm a big fan of Tales of Captain Black.

Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

If you want some avant/postbop/new thing recs, let me know, but the hard bop should keep you busy.
Except for the Sidewinder, I'll say ok to these, but purely on a hard bop standpoint.
What's wrong with Sidewinder?
Though it does have my beloved Joe Henderson, I have problems dealing with it starting the whole soul-jazz commercial thing for jazz.

See, I like soul jazz--not the later stuff, but the early soul jazz for me is nice. To me fusion was a more harmful commercialization of jazz. I hate fusion.

(no idea how I post the video)

As for jazz that's not free/avant-jazz, I like Soil & "PIMP" Sessions.

Some hot shit

Post by matedog »

Back in middle school, when Tony Williams died, I asked my drum instructor for some good records featuring him. He told me "Four and More" when he was with Miles. It was out of print at the time and I settled for Tony Williams' "Emergency!" album which is a groundbreaking and first rate FUSION album. So I didn't get into it much.

Anyway, years later after being intrigued by the Tony Williams half of Seven Steps to Heaven, I finally found Four and More on vinyl in New York. And just recently I found out it is in deed on a great reissue cd now.

Image

Miles' band at the time was then 19 year old Tony Williams, Herbie Hancock, Ron Carter, and George Coleman on tenor sax. The band plays a lot of the new material (such as Seven Steps) and some of the standards. What's so ass kicking about the album is that Miles seems to be so bored with the standards that he at least doubles the tempos for those tunes. Take the starter "So What" which was as sleepy as everything else on Kind of Blue and jacks it up ala Clash in 77. The shit smokes and the band kills. This album is amazing.

Tony Williams drums on Eric Dolphy's Out to Lunch. He's fucking amazing on that record. He invents a concept of free drumming apart from Rashied Ali.

Sure. It might make you piss your pants, tho. But I'm sure that's the norm for you when confronted with genuinely good music.
