Anyone besides me listen to it?

If yes:

What are you spinning lately?

Would you have interest in us offering jazz on the site? CD? Vinyl?

My 3 Favs:

Weather Report
Miles Davis
Herbie Hancock

I find that, generally, my favorite jazz music resides on the ECM label. I have a pile of albums from Pat Metheny, Keith Jarrett, Terje Rypdal, Jan Garbarek, etc... In terms of more accessible stuff, I enjoy Weather Report, Passport and Jan Akkerman, and others although I tend go back to the ECM catalog when I really want to scratch that itch.

I love ECM and its sister label JAPO.

I like instrumental jazz (jazz fusion, jazz rock). I thoroughly enjoy Return To Forever, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Passport, Weather Report, and Planeta Imaginario. I'm still learning what I like, having spent most of my years listening to metal.

All wonderful bands but not jazz. Those are fusion/jazz rock. Related but different.

Go check out some Miles Davis, Freddie Hubbard, Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers and report back.

Ken,

Forgot to ask you earlier. What are your thoughts on Bill Bruford's Earthworks? I enjoyed some of their earlier stuff in the late 80's and early 90's but then lost touch with what they were up to. Thanks!

Personally I’m not a fan. I saw Earthworks eons agol. I like Bill’s playing in a rock and jazz rock context. In a pure jazz style I didn’t connect with it.

I would love for you to have jazz CDs for sale.

ECM and JAPO have a lot of good stuff. I also like JMT, Black Saint and stuff like CMP Records. Sadly CMP is gone, but I still see some reissues of CMP stuff by Silva Screen. MPS was also a killer label with a lot of interesting artists.

I picked this up from LE store and it's really good!

Spisek Sześciu - Complot of Six - Polish Jazz, Vol.45 (1975)

 

[Faust3D]

New TBM reissues are really good! I am glad I picked them up.

Mikhail Alperin & Аркадий Шилклопер [Arkady Shilkloper] - Wave of Sorrow (1990)
Billy Barber - Lighthouse (1986)

In Cahoots is jazz rock/Canterbury fusion. Know Seffer of course but don't know the album. Could be interesting! The Russians I don't know. Barber I don't know but if it sounds like Flim & The BB's its a pass for me.

 

[Faust3D]

Barber sound like BB's, I love the BB's. Alperin is ECM jazz style stuff very atmospheric.

Listed to these albums the other day. Beck was nice but a little safe. Network is really good. Watanabe is interesting as always, but production on this one is more on the funky side.

Joe Beck - Beck (1975)
Network - Corroded Path (1993)
Kazumi Watanabe & Manhattan Blaze - Village in Bubbles (1978)

These are jazz rock albums. Not jazz.

 

[Faust3D]

Well the line is blurred, but yes technically they are jazz rock. Beck is more jazz than rock.
Listened to

Lester Bowie - Rope-A-Dope (1976)
Rainer Brüninghaus - Freigeweht (1981)
J.F. Jenny Clark - Unison (1987)

the other day. Is this jazz enough?
