  • @rorymannmusic
    @rorymannmusic 6 років тому +7

    Jazz musician/student here, and huge fan of yours Anthony. I would say though that Coltrane's Ballads and Kind of Blue aren't really Cool Jazz albums strictly speaking, although obviously they are both incredible albums. Kind of Blue was such a revolution in Jazz in the sense that it really explored modal concepts of playing over static harmonies, which was wildly different to the far more common quickly-changing chord progressions which are commonplace in pre-modal styles like cool jazz and bebop. Cool Jazz was still firmly rooted in the harmonic movement of bebop; just without the intensity and fast tempos as you said. And in addition, I'd say Ballads is more of a hard bop album (despite the fact that the album does mostly consist of ballads, hence the name). The way Coltrane plays on the album and indeed in all of his material I would hesitate to call 'cool' in the way that cool jazz sax players on the list like Paul Desmond (who features on Time Out) and Ben Webster. It's much more rooted in a hard/post bop idiom. It's also important to consider that the cool movement was actually more of a callback to the swing era, as a rebellion against the aggressive, fast stylings of bebop. But putting that aside; excellent video and excellent albums!

  • @MrBeastknows
    @MrBeastknows 6 років тому +3

    Jim Hall's Concierto de Aranjuez ft. Chet Baker and Paul Desmond is my favorite cool jazz song. It's 19 minutes long, but it is just the best song to drive to. It's in my opinion a perfect example of jazz. The relationship and dynamics between the current soloist and the guys just accompanying and accentuating the current soloist is beautiful. And each transition from one soloist to the next is absolutely brilliant and unnaturally natural for it to be unscripted. I adore that song to death.
    I'd also suggest Bohren and der Club of Gore if anyone's interested in a noir sound of jazz. Those guys go above and beyond, their music is the epitome of noir jazz. Their Sunset Mission album on youtube is phenomenal. Walk listening to that downtown at night, you're in a noir movie.

    Also check out Dave Brubeck's Jazz Impressions of Japan. It is an excellent cool jazz record inspired by folk melodies from Japan.

    Great starter pack melon. A similar video for bop or even classical would be dope too

    I want to add that Bill Evans also takes alot of inspiration from classical music, Debussy in particular.

    Agree with all of them, Paul Desmond is a good one to check out too.

    Kind of blue is pretty much the Jazz album that got most of the Jazz fans into jazz . If you don't like Kind of blue jazz is not for you . Time out and Ballads are amazing albums too , I simply worship John Coltrane .
    Also , Do Progressive Rock starter pack

      Larks' Tongues In Aspic yeah if kind of blue is to complex for you than you should just stick to Katy perry

      Larks' Tongues In Aspic I could see someone liking Jazz Fusion like Weather Report, while also hating Kind of Blue.
