Prepare yourself Jazz is not only music but a lifestyle. next thing you know your hooked on scotch and cigars.
- An authentic lifestyle would include getting hooked on junk.harlequino
- in my experience getting your junk hooked on anything is rather painful7point34
- Yeah, in the 1950s especially, heroin was the drug of choice.CyBrainX
- and all your clothes itch and smell like cigars and stale alchol and cigarettesvaxorcist
- or at least some of the old jazz musicians I met in the 80's in Chicago smelled like that....vaxorcist

Pharoah Sanders. More earthy & primitive than Coltrane. In a good way.
Yusef Lateef, another fantabulist horn/flute player:
..and Thomas Chapin. This cat got me into jazz, caught him live at the Knitting Factory in NYC in about '91. Amazing guy. Died in '98 at 40 yrs old frm cancer sadly. Would've gone on to be a giant in contmp. jazz. Worth hunting down a few of his albums:
- eboness by Yusef Lateef is a super awesome track. beautiful.felizfeliz

live jazz is maybe my favourite type of live music - I used to listen/watch pretty regularly, but haven't for a couple of years... (jazz clubs without smoking seems pretty wrong)

I like Charlie Mingus: I've got the birdland broadcasts and pithecanthropus erectus - both are good.

I saw the doc on Miles the other day, featuring him at the Isle Of Wight festival in '70, picqued my interest in the Bitches Brew - it really caught me off-guard and I've been trying to slowly digest pieces of it since...it often appears to be progressing sideways until it becomes aware of you listening to it, then scrurries off.
Be interested too in any real responses you get to this..

The jazz fusion stuff is alright, some of it. Weather Report is pretty good across the board, but they teeter into the bright and cheery sound, which seems to be fairly standard for a lot of the jazz fusion stuff I've come across.
Still, could be I'm not listening to the right things.
- Stick with the earlier stuff from Weather Report. The later stuff is a precursor to smooth jazz.CyBrain
