[Jazz] Post your Jazz Playlists in here.

Hey guys,

 

In this thread i wanted to share my jazz playlists with you.

 

The first time i heard about jazz was in an interview with Radiohead. They mentioned Bitches Brew by Miles Davis as one of their inspirations. I bought the cd in 1997 but was shocked with the music. Its weird rhythms, harmonies (or lack of) and no song structure. I was used listening to alternative rock like Radiohead and Dinosaur Jr.

 

In 1998 i was going to concerts alot and my curiosity led me to a jam session in a jazz club. There were four people playing, drums, bass, piano and saxophone. It was then i heard and saw the magic of jazz. They were improvising arround a standard theme and they were really enjoying the jam. Creating 'new' music as they were playing. Since that day i understood what jazz was, but it still took me some more years to finally appreciate Bitches Brew by Miles Davis.

I mostly listen to rock music, but I also like jazz and thought I'd post a playlist of some of my jazz favorites; it's mainly fusion with a few straight-ahead jazz, modal jazz and free jazz tracks as well. I'd greatly appreciate your feedback or suggestions!

Hi Jazzwhatever !

I just came across this post. Great idea !

I have started a playlist about modern jazz piano trio. It might seem a narrow topic but it is actually quite rich and still nicely focused :).

You'll find very famous trio but also rising artist such as the french trio Hard Swing Mango. Hope you'll like it !

 

Best regards,

Xavier

Great thread, below is a playlist I'd like to include within it. It's an instrumental playlist featuring smooth jazz as well as a few hiphop influenced instrumentals that may fit within the scope of the genre.
