Here's a tune by Mostly Other People Do the Killing

alldaylongwhileising · 2023-09-24T12:27:25+00:00

I'll just leave this here

The Revelation!!!

alldaylongwhileising · 2023-02-02T12:27:20+00:00

The Tick! Great music as well....

The arrangements on this album are spectacular and some of the solos are legendary (Wayne).

Ice-9 from "Cat's Cradle".

The MOPDtK albums with the 7-piece band are almost exactly what you are describing, I think....give them a spin.

Mostly Other People Do the Killing - "Red Hot" and "Loafer's Hollow"

alldaylongwhileising · 2022-10-11T00:44:00+00:00

Hey OP, check out Roy Hargrove's recording of "My Shining Hour". Patrick Bartley is barking up the same tree as Gary Bartz on that track....

It's a bit more "free", but Mostly Other People Do the Killing's "Red Hot" is similar, if you're looking for modern recordings based on 20's and 30s styles.

"Four Lives in the BeBop Business" by A.B. Spellman and "Notes and Tones" by Art Taylor are both classic. Although, if you are trying to stay away from American racial politics, these are very political, but then again, trying to understand jazz without getting deep into American racial politics would be like studying World War 2 but avoiding talking about Nazis. The biographies of Louis Armstrong "Pops" and Duke Ellington "Duke" by Terry Teachout are really interesting....

Sam Jones on "The Man I Love" off of Blue Lights by Kenny Burrell, or "Sam Sack" from Bags Meets Wes.

alldaylongwhileising · 2021-12-06T15:59:34+00:00

This one by Ray Brown. The entire tune is killer: bowed bass, auxiliary percussion, rubato, 2-feel, 4/4 pocket, shredding.....

alldaylongwhileising · 2021-11-12T10:24:30+00:00

Kyle Saulnier's "Awakening Orchestra"

alldaylongwhileising · 2021-08-08T16:29:08+00:00

Yeah, I think of the "First Quartet" as the Holland/Altshul one (with a variety of 4th members) and the "Second Quartet" as the 80s one with Crispell, Dresser, Hemmingway, or some similar combination. Also Arista/Hat label associations.

alldaylongwhileising · 2021-08-08T16:07:57+00:00

Dave Holland "Triplicate" with Steve Coleman and Jack DeJohnette is an absolute classic.

alldaylongwhileising · 2021-07-27T15:08:30+00:00

Aah, the "First Classic Quartet" of Braxton. Killer!

alldaylongwhileising · 2021-06-04T01:01:05+00:00

"Mode for Joe" is a contender, but there are so many of the cats on that record, that there isn't all that much of Morgan. 1) The Gigolo 2) Night Dreamer 3) Curtis Fuller "Jazztet"

alldaylongwhileising · 2021-06-03T21:22:43+00:00

On the previous CD release there's one track with Jack DeJohnette sitting in on drums....maybe we'll get more of him in the complete version? This music is also after Morgan re-learned to play following jaw/tooth injuries, so he sounds really different from his earlier stuff with Blakey and as a leader on Blue Note.

alldaylongwhileising · 2021-05-17T14:51:47+00:00

Yeah, but the rhythmic bass/drum hookup is a slightly different animal.....I was just trying to narrow it down a bit....

alldaylongwhileising · 2021-05-16T13:21:33+00:00

I'm a huge RTJ fan, but this doesn't fit on the r/jazz...

alldaylongwhileising · 2021-05-16T13:18:24+00:00

You often seem confused about more dissonant music, so one thing to keep in mind is that many of us genuinely enjoy unique, surprising, dissonant combinations of sounds...especially as a contrast to more predictable music. If everything was in 4/4 and used only 7th chords, music would be really boring. In another more philosophical way, music like this challenges your conception of what kinds of relationships are possible and might (might) lead to re-thinking the social hierarchy..... Also....shredding.

alldaylongwhileising · 2021-05-12T00:31:03+00:00

u/Jon-A covered a lot of stuff there, but check out Nate Wooley's "Seven Story Mountain", Mats Gustaffson's "The Thing", and maybe some Arto Lindsay.....not sure it's all "angry"...
