- not really your typical jazz though. but you'll get the feel for it after a while. and then like black metal.
dasohr - I do love me some Zorn with Naked City or Painkiller. Better rage sublimation than any metal out there.harlequino

Thanks to everyone for their input. Got some really great stuff going now, going to take a while to make heads or tails of what I like/don't like.

Pharoah Sanders. More earthy & primitive than Coltrane. In a good way.
Yusef Lateef, another fantabulist horn/flute player:
..and Thomas Chapin. This cat got me into jazz, caught him live at the Knitting Factory in NYC in about '91. Amazing guy. Died in '98 at 40 yrs old frm cancer sadly. Would've gone on to be a giant in contmp. jazz. Worth hunting down a few of his albums:

The jazz fusion stuff is alright, some of it. Weather Report is pretty good across the board, but they teeter into the bright and cheery sound, which seems to be fairly standard for a lot of the jazz fusion stuff I've come across.
Still, could be I'm not listening to the right things.
- Stick with the earlier stuff from Weather Report. The later stuff is a precursor to smooth jazz.CyBrain

I never liked Herbie.

Always had a love/hate relationship with Herbie. I love the earlier Blue Note stuff, of course, but was never crazy about the funk and electro paths he took. Just not my style. But I really liked his initiative in the mid 90's when he tried to usher a new generation of standards to play. His whole thing was "Srsly, how many times are we going to play 'Take the A Train?'" He was playing Nirvana and Cure songs, and they kinda worked.
In any case, he was on "Wait Wait Don't Tell Me" on NPR about a year ago. Really interesting if you can track it down. He was talking about how bizarre it was when "Rockit" took off, and how all the breakdancers were popping to it. Defintely a guy who's been around.

Thought I'd resurrect this thread on account of just buying a turntable last weekend.
There's a group I really love called Colorlist - they're a current jazz group, and their style is probably my favorite type of jazz. Anyone have some recommendations for old or current jazz that's similar to this style?
- Cool - didn't realize that Josh Eustis (Telefon Tel Aviv and Nine Inch Nails) is part of Colorlist.mg33
- try The NecksFax_Benson
- damn, I like that! Thank you.mg33
- they're great live - one of them will pay a few random bars, and they build a 1hr set around it from nothingFax_Benson
