Well, seems we have a thread for every other genre so why not? I go through phases with Jazz, there's so many different styles and moods to explore. I think it's a genre that usually demands your undivided attention so I have to be in the mood to really sit down and focus on it but when I do, it's one of my favorite genres.
Post your favorite stuff, any subgenre or style including Jazz rap. If you know something cool about what you're posting please post it. Lets build.
I don't know much about Max Roach, other than him performing the crazy drums on Birth Of The Cool, but this is a banger.
Ibrahim Maalouf's new album, '40 Melodies', which contains his older songs in a new version, will drop tomorrow (label 'Mister I.B.E.') Maalouf plays the trumpet. I love his music.
it's good to see he's getting quite a bit of press with his latest release.
Maalouf was born in Lebanon and was visiting relatives in Beirut when the explosion happened a few weeks back btw
here's an early single from the new album
mesmerizing
Maalouf's father played the trumpet too. Maalouf started to play as well to better connect with his dad, a harsh man. Maalouf is kind of an introvert and prefers the softer and subtle way of playing the trumpet, like Chet Baker's and some of Miles Davis' output
the new album will feature François Delporte (Belgian jazz guitar player), Sting, Marcus Miller (jazz bass player) and French rockstar -M- (real name Matthieu Chedid)
