I'd strongly recommend 'The House That Trane Built' to anyone interested in modern jazz.

It's a 4CD compilation of tracks from Impulse Records' back catalogue featuring John Coltrane, Gil Evans, Art Blakey, Pharoah Sanders, Keith Jarrett, Archie Shepp etc. Awesome booklet and cover photos too.

For the beginner...go and listen to some Duke Ellington, Charlie Parker and Miles Davis. All mindblowingly awesome.

Nice to see a recommendation for Polar Bear on this thread. 'Held On The Tips Of Fingers' is an incredible album.

shreds with 2 fingers better than most can with 4

I like mellow stuff but I like lively stuff too, can't beat a bit of lively Thelonious Monk. Oh and Django is just breathtaking, that guy had talent!

Nice one on the suggestions, Obviously I know Miles Davis, Charlie Mingus etc but some of the others I haven't so big up!

I thought I should start a thread with some sort of depth for once.

Magma wrote:John Coltrane, My Favourite Things

this was one of the first jazz songs i ever played on my alto saxophone back in 9trh grade. We played the original music for the one you prolly have at home(its like 10-15 minutes, right?) ...fucking madness for a 14 year old to be doing. After that i was pretty obsessed with syncopation.

which led to my deep love for avant & improvised jazz. a list of my favorites:

Kaoru Abe (heroin addict free jazz from 60s/70s Japan!!! my personal idol)
Billie Holiday (my <3)
Johnny Gilmour (sax player for Arkestra/gave lessons to John Coltrane)
Sun Ra & his Arkestra (anyone who ever played with Ra!)
Rashaan Roland Kirk (omfg)
Ella Fitzgerald (my other <3)
Muddy Waters (for me, this is what the word Grimey means)

also a list of newer jazz bands that i love:
Tortoise
Yako Kanno (did the Cowboy Beebop Soundtrack)
Flat Earth Society (!)
Medeski Martin & Wood (i dig their early stuff only)
MADLIB!!!!!!

Ornette Coleman gets overlooked a lot in these discussions and is badman

Thats because most people equate his music to incomprehensable honking and farting

Miles Davis "In a Silent way" - If you don't like this album then you have no soul IMO

Alice Coltrane "World Galaxy"[especially for the acidic organ cover of her hubby's "A Love Supreme"
Archie Shepp "Attica Blues"

may not be what many of you are into...but trust me when i say that it is not merely squeaks & shit. Abstract Harmonics are the most difficult thing you can master on a saxophone, or pretty much any instrument for that matter. John Coltrane took lessons from Gilmour very late in his career to learn these techniques...and this guy Kaoru Abe was as good as either of them with no lessons at all. This guy is fucking insane. Like if Japanese Noise had their own Kobain, lol. He even overdosed when he was 28. He would have changed the way jazz was heard had he lived, imo.

Cheers for posting this it's fantastic.
Don't suppose you've seen the "My name is Albert Ayler" doc?,the footage of him playing at J Coltrane's funeral is one of the most amazing pieces of live footage i've ever seen.[Here's some audio from ithttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wO9UCV5APPA]
