Let's talk about Art Farmer and the underappreciated sound of a flugelhorn... Discuss whether jazz takes too much credit for "inventing" improvisation... Let's have a recommendations thread for albums/recordings... Where should a (name of artist here) newbie start?... Let's have a big thread giving Dizzy Gillespie the love he deserves... We could have a giant thread where people just post YouTube links of recordings

Shit, there's probably way cooler ideas for posts than anything I'm coming up with off the top. What happened o the Lesson? Get it together!

yes

pretty stoked

Hers a portion of a good documentary about 1959 the year 4 classic albums were released that probably best encapsulated the past present and future of jazz

I'm into a lot of electric period jazz and then fusion stuff.
What other Byrd stuff should I be looking for next time
I'm digging and maybe see some Byrd stuff?

Doesn't have to be electric period BUT I'm really into it.

Prince Lasha & Sonny Simmons-Congo Call:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ejYBQfdEXf4

Two ace tunes from underrated albums/artists; The Lasha/Simmons-album in particular (="the Cry") is a real corker even if their next collab "Firebirds" is even better...

If that makes any sense... raspy/breathy. I like it supporting but less in lead roles.

Lots of exceptions though. I'll check out these tunes for sure.
