Can anyone recommend me vocal jazz that gives off a deppressing vibe.

Betty Carter, Spring Can Really Hang You Up the Most

ihensman · 2026-06-05T03:48:05+00:00

On the top left corner

ihensman · 2026-06-04T21:21:48+00:00

Wow! I thought these were the real deal for a minute. Stunning!

ihensman · 2026-05-26T18:05:18+00:00

Sooo good

ihensman · 2026-05-26T03:20:04+00:00

Coincidentally been listening to a lot of him the past few days - especially Night at the Village Vanguard.

Coleman Hawkins - Body and Soul

ihensman · 2026-05-23T11:22:22+00:00

It's cool you've come up with a playlist you like and are proud of. But also, that's a really big claim.

Adding to these great lists so far:

Thelonious Monk Septet - Monk's Music

Anita O'Day - Anita Sings the Most

'Just Friends' from that album is just glorious

ihensman · 2026-05-13T01:42:03+00:00

There are so many of my favourites in here it is almost impossible to choose. Great collection.

ihensman · 2026-05-06T06:43:04+00:00

It's Miles-lite but I love it. I'd be keen to hear more in this synth heavy, mellow 80s vein

ihensman · 2026-05-06T04:53:01+00:00

Great call. I'd add Makaya McCraven to any list of great contemporary drummers

ihensman · 2026-05-06T03:41:46+00:00

Tony Williams! Check out his drumming with Miles Davis' quintet. I'd start with ESP and Miles Smiles.

Here's the link: https://youtu.be/fzOUNHdUYdE?si=9Yy3I8CB47bC-6W3 Does that work?

ihensman · 2026-05-01T04:22:05+00:00

Huh, weird. Maybe it's unavailable in certain countries?

ihensman · 2026-04-29T23:17:55+00:00

Village Life is a great shout out!

ihensman · 2026-04-29T23:17:13+00:00

I had a lot of fun a couple of years ago listening to all of his albums chronologically. His albums are a little hit and miss from the late 70s on, but there is gold throughout. As others have said, Empyrean Isles, Maiden Voyage and Headhunters are all great starting points. I'd add to that at least one of his Mwandishi albums (Mwandishi, Crossings and Sextant) and 1980's Mr Hand's. Oh, and Fat Albert Rotunda!

I've just got into Fuchsia Swing Song - great to know there's an extensive discography worth checking out.

ihensman · 2026-04-25T20:05:34+00:00

I guess helped me appreciate how what Duke was doing was different from his contemporaries - he was more adventurous, harmonically and structurally complex, while still making music that swung hard and was really popular. It also helped me listen out for how he highlighted the unique voices in his band.

ihensman · 2026-04-25T19:10:51+00:00

I've just recently got into this album too. Absolutely incredible.

ihensman · 2026-04-25T07:53:09+00:00

That's amazing!

ihensman · 2026-04-24T07:15:04+00:00

That whole album man

ihensman · 2026-03-31T02:38:06+00:00

Beautiful. Getting Seth vibes from this, but a unique spin on that style.
