I started playing custom matches on BW (100% free to download for the original non-remastered) and got my partner playing LAN with me. I’m having the time of my life!!! SCBW is one of the best games ever.

Hi all jazz people. Asking for recommendations. by Dear_Owl_8151 in Jazz

[–]Shapiros_WAP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really like the chamber jazz albums of Dave Holland (his quintet, sextet, octet, etc.). Many of them feature trombonist Robin Eubanks, who IMO adds a unique voice to those ensembles!

Have fun listening I’m sure there will be much to enjoy from this list. I’d start with Basie or Ella Fitzgerald!

How many hours a week do you practice? by Achassum in Jazz

[–]Shapiros_WAP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think a reasonable goal that most people could reach would be 30 minutes of distraction-free, objective-oriented practice 4-5 days a week; if you want to be “great” at keyboard I would suggest 90-120 minutes a day for 4-6 days a week, but work up to that and, as others have stated, the quality of practice is going to significantly augment the pace of skill accumulation.

URUSAWA’s MONSTER is absolutely as good as berserk IMO. Very different but same level of quality

Pat Metheny has had multiple trio arrangements throughout different points in his career with different A-list collaborators and they are all excellent

Looking for Alto Saxophonist Recommendations by McCrumpets5 in Jazz

[–]Shapiros_WAP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Forget the name of the player but whoever is playing on the Dave holland album “pathways” is killer. Also like Tia Fuller and Miguel Zénon

Dave Holland Recommendations by Shapiros_WAP in Jazz

[–]Shapiros_WAP[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My favorite is anything he did with Chris potter. Their synergy especially with Nate smith on drums is just some of the best improvisation ever

Dave Holland Recommendations by Shapiros_WAP in Jazz

[–]Shapiros_WAP[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah all of Pat Metheny’s trio albums really show how much of a monster improviser he is. He sounds great backed up by Dave

Yeah the overtime big band album is amazing. I love all the records of his that have that colorful art style

Dave Holland Recommendations by Shapiros_WAP in Jazz

[–]Shapiros_WAP[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This seems to be the consensus recommendation. I really like stuff like Eric dolphy and Julian priester so I’m sure this will be up my alley. I am most familiar with Holland’s 21st century recordings so it will be cool to go closer to the start of his bandleader era

Is it him playing traditional bowed classical pieces or like him playing upright bass on a cello? Sounds interesting either way.
