He certainly was a glamorous man. That bathroom looks cooler than most people's houses. I would love to be there!
It is fascinating how he is still such a prolific performer despite his age. God bless him.
"Much of the material performed this night derives from Miles' studio sessions during the groundbreaking In a Silent Way and Bitches Brew album sessions."
Any album that leans towards a more jazz rock (or, sometimes, even fusion) sound will be criticized by the jazz "purists"; not that they matter at all. Never heard of Motorpsycho but will check this out. Thanks.
I have listened to the following:
- Electric masada - At the mountains of madness
Someone on RYM called it "the modern bitches brew"; therefore, I had to check it out. A great album: very bombastic. (and, yes, it is reminiscient of bitches brew) 9/10
- Bohren & der Club of Gore - Sunset Mission
Only ever listened to when I am reading. Good for background playing but no strong feelings. Not a big fan of this genre of music. 5/10
- Bruno Pernadas - Those Who Throw Objects at the Crocodiles Will Be Asked to Retrieve Them
More elements of pop than jazz, however, it has enough jazzy elements to be considered a jazz-fusion album. Absolutely amazing album, especially great when taking a shower. 9/10
- Floating Points - Promises
TBH, I don't really remember much from this album. But I remember liking it. ?/10
Recently listening to some vocal jazz albums; I really liked Tony Bennett's When Lights Are Low. Aside from that, Hot Rats is my album of choice right now: a timeless classic for all listeners, new or old.
Thanks for the recs guys. I will surely check them out. Another album, that I have heard, that is underrated is Sonny Criss's Sonny's Dream (Birth of the New Cool): absolutely fine album, reminiscient of Horace Tapscott's big band stuff (due to him being the composer & arranger).
I really like ascension I; it was a difficult listen at first but, after a while you just want to listen to it again. It's so coherent despite being, what might be called, random. Also, the intro is absolutely terrific! But I couldn't really get into meditations: I guess because it is a work that deviates further from "non-free" jazz. Among his primary works, I don't have a clear favorite; but the closest contender is blue train—I've heard people complain about the other musicians not being on par with coltrane on this album, what's with that? ( I haven't listened to many of his hard/post bop albums).
Sorry, if some of these posts seem "low effort" to you; I just want this community to be more active! (I think creating a weekly "what are you listening/recs" thread or, maybe, a jazz playing thread would be good, wdyt?)
Yea, take five has certainly overshadowed the other tracks; not that they are any lesser than it. I guess this is because take five is a cooler song, while the other tracks are a bit more laid back. Nonetheless, a great album!
Read that as "without decreasing the size of your cock"
