You need to check out:

Black Saint
Capra Black

both albums by Billy Harper, the first time I heard the epic I immediately thought of Billy Harper

it also wouldn't hurt to get into some Pharaoh Sanders, the best starting point being his classic The Creator Has A Master Plan

and if you are really, extremely new to jazz, John Coltrane is always a great place to start, I wouldn't call these albums "The Epic"-ish, but I'd strongly recommend Blue Train and Giant Steps

YES! So I'm not the only that thinks Mingus when listening to Kamasi. They both have that edgy, gorgeous mess of a sound from disparate sources and still sounds dope as hell.

can't believe I didn't think of this one instantly, makes perfect sense

Pharoah sanders
Alice Coltrane
Idris Muhammad
Kenny garett
Brandee Younger
Theo crocker
Eric Dolphy
Rahsaan Roland kirk



Bumpin in the STEREO:
Gladys Knight&The Pips
KING-We Are King
Babyface-Return Of The Tender Lover
Rick James-Street Songs

I would esp. second the Pharoah Sanders and McCoy Tyner suggestions --- on the latter, specifically his more modal and groove-oriented material, from Expansions onward. A lot of Washington's record really sounds like an ode to that fertile period coming out of the very late '60s through the late '70s, shifting out of hard bop and into... whatever you want to call it, lol.

You could probably get a lot out of just following Coltrane's late band members' and collaborators' output from the late '60s onward: Sanders, Tyner, Elvin Jones, Archie Shepp (I definitely hear early '70s Shepp throughout the Epic --- see "Cry of my People" and "Attica Blues"), Freddie Hubbard, and so forth. But again, starting with Sanders and Tyner would be a good bet. I have a soft spot for Tyner's Expansions and Extensions albums, as well as the live "Enlightenment" album.

The list of good records from the period is looooong --- but it's one of my favorite periods of music, period, and well worth spending lots of time with.

Improvisational jazz album that goes really fucking hard.

Waldorf and Statler Vol 4:CONAN IS OUT NOW!!!: http://waldorfandstatler.bandcamp.com

and don't forget to check "DVS 4 ALDERMAN"

http://windimoto.bandcamp.com/album/dvs-4-alderman-bandcamp-exclusive-expanded-editio

none of this is specifically based on it being similar to The Epic, but since you like The Epic you could end up liking a good portion of these records:

his Christian Atundeh Adjah Scott album in particular

>his Christian Atundeh Adjah Scott album in particular
Stretch music too

dude

thanks for the heads up

Stretch Music was all over the place imo. Had some beautiful stuff on there but no solid theme.

I think he had way too much input from his bandmates and not enough of his own influence. YYST imo was his magnum opus to date.

The mood of that album puts me in the certain space that's hard for me to leave once I press play. Gorgeous album.

"Unequal economics can easily make you some enemies" Cee-Lo

I can't believe I didn't think of this earlier. Lanquidity is my favorite and the first album that comes to mind. His discog is huge, so I won't even try to make more recs, just get your googles on.

I LOVE "Canvas", "Mood", and I'm addicted to "Black Radio" 1 and 2

I have Terrace Martin's "3ChordFold" but I'm super excited for his jazz album "Velvet Portraits" coming out on April 1. I did a preorder for the CD and got 3 songs for free download.

Who else out there do you guys recommend?

P.S. "The Epic" is a masterpiece.

Well, you can definitely start with the albums that Glasper is a sideman and/or producer for other people's work:

Kenneth Whalum III - To Those Who Believe
Robert Hurst - Unrehurst, Vol. 1 and Vol. 2
Lionel Loueke - Heritage
Darryl Reeves - Diary of a Bandstand
Derrick Hodge - Live Today
Otis Brown III - The Thought of You

There's a Terence Blanchard album or two that he plays on too, but I can't remember them, because I wasn't really feeling them (Bounce or Flow, something like that).

If you like Black Radio, you should def check Stefon Harris and the Blackout - Urbanus and The Detroit Experiment (self-titled).

A lot of people compare Glasper to Herbie, especially from doing cross-genre stuff and the R&B/funk years, but when I hear In My Element (his best work IMO) I hear Ahmad Jamal. I don't like the But Not for Me/Poinciana album which I think people consider his classic, so I'd recommend The Awakening. Once you hear it, you'll lots of good samples that were used for hip-hop too.

If you can't understand it without an explanation

you can't understand it with an explanation

....I don't think it fits in the same vein as Kamasi Washington.

This is more like Herbie's "Head Hunters" album.

https://digife.com

had no idea there was so much dope new jazz around

Brandee Younger - Wax and Wane
- harpist inspired by alice coltrane and dorothy ashby, album produced by casey benjamin (robert glasper experiment)

Big Yuki - Greek Fire
- ridiculously talented keys player. album is straight fire the whole way.

Marcus Strickland - Nihil Novi
- album drops on blue note in a couple of weeks - one of the dopest sax players around, album produced by meshell n'degeocello and guests include chris dave, pino, glasper and others


enjoy!

brief shameless self promo - excited to have my own new offering for everyone later this year too

But damn, there's like 3 threads on contemporary jazz that I wish we could just combine together. Here's the 2016 jazz post tho.

http://board.okayplayer.com/okp.php?az=show_topic&forum=5&topic_id=2956745&mesg_id=2956745&listing_type=search

I'm super tempted to start some type of Jazz Lessonhead group of something on Facebook or somewhere, so we can discuss shit like this more on the regular.
