Usually when we add a new artist, we'll put up a video or two to go with that artist and those videos will show on the front page for a while until new ones push them off.

Fletcher Henderson's "Whiteman Stomp" is considered one of the first "AG" arrangements in jazz. Its bizarre constantly changing structure is actually similar to early 70s prog rock. The arrangement is by Don Redman.

Yochanan was a bizarre outsider blues artist in Chicago who was backed and recorded by Sun Ra and his band back when Ra worked as an all-around music hustler/producer. His rendition of "Hot Skillet Mama" is hilarious.
Did you know that back then, Ra used to back Johnny Guitar Watson too. What a show that would have been.

Johnny Guitar Watson's music is far away from what Sun Ra's music is like. I could just imagine what it must have been like.

In his early days Sun Ra was a professional arranger, producer, leader of backing bands etc, his approach to backing guys like Watson and other blues/RnB performers was more or less straight ahead with some quirkiness around the edges, but given Watson's own tendency towards oddball humor, I would imagine those two working together was anything but business as usual.

I enjoyed "Out to Lunch". Bobby Hutcherson really makes a good atmosphere with this album. And flexibility and the power of expression that a rhythm section has. It is contribution by Tony Williams. A splendid album.

I think it slipped off the front now but before Blue Train was up and it's one of my favourite Coltrane pieces (love the solo too)

^ fantastic, will check it out right now
Awesome, I really like this, bumping it up in my list of 'albums to by' - I like the mix of the 'jungle' feel and the strings, well, all of it actually Edited by dreadpirateroberts - 03 Sep 2012 at 6:46am |

The new Ryan Truesdell album consists of recently discovered scores by Gil Evans. This is really big news. Evans was one of the coolest beatniks ever and his gift with orchestration was superb, rating right up there with the Duke when it comes to being able to fine tune a large ensemble.
Check out the video and enjoy.

Fans of early 70s psychedelic jazz will want to check out Albert Dailey's "Free Me", it sounds like no one else.

Our site added a musician in a section of some pop jazz recently. I do not know whether they are called as smooth jazz. However, I like such a music. Probably it is elevator music. Or a nu adult contemporary may be often recognized as a genre. I felt that the name to be called smooth jazz should not be proposed widely. In any case I really check even such a music.

Sometimes I like the pop jazz too, especially from the 60s and early 70s.
Smooth jazz goes through changes like any other style and today's pop jazz has more of a RnB sound that is influenced by acid jazz. Today's sound is sort of smooth acid jazz, and it sounds a lot better than the pop jazz of the last couple decades. |

Yes. I notice that recent pop jazz is refined including arrangement of the rhythm very much. It may be boring for a pure jazz listener. However, I thought that music of high quality appeared necessarily when a musician was able.

Those who are interested in the roots of rap should check out the video for Babs Gonzales ("House Rent Party"). If it is no longer on the front page, just check his artist profile, funny stuff.
