Jazz: srs fucking business

[Triple Zero]

I like the bits in jazz when it's all random and atonal and shit.

But I prefer it when they sample it and apply some breakbeats.

SPEAKING OF

wasn't James Brown jazz?

I mean, HELLO FUNKY DRUMMER BREAK

so that's at least one good thing about jazz right?

[LMNO]

I like some jazz.  I also like some Dixieland.

Good Jazz, to me: Mingus, Coltrane, Miles, Sun Ra, Chet Baker, Billie Holiday.

That is to say, as soon as the 70's happened, the quality of jazz took a steep nosedive.  Mostly, I blame Chick Corea and the John McLaughlin.

You would've loved a "jazz" band I used to be in.  It was called Les Trois Etoilles and it was 100% improv.  I'm not sure we were technically jazz, though, we were invited to a jazz series at UMaine one year.  It certainly was random and atonal at times.  How many jazz bands feature cellos, banjos, AND rubber chickens?

It's garbage.  4 different guys playing 4 different songs, in the same room at the same time.

NO.

James Brown was Soul/Motown.

[LMNO]

It's garbage.  4 different guys playing 12 different songs, in the same room at the same time.

Fixed for Ornette Coleman.

i stand corrected.

and RWHN, I think I would still like it best when it's sampled with electronic beats

[AFK]

We used a vacuum cleaner once.  Does that help? 

[Brotep]

That must have sucked.

TITCM. The only reason jazz exists is so that DJ Shadow can scratch over it.

That was pretty 'jazz purist' of me, wasn't it?

ENTRODUCING IS THE BEST ALBUM OF ALL TIME!!!

OF ALL TIME!!!!

[Cramulus]

I dig the shit out of John Coltrane. Miles Davis has got some moves too.

There's a 30 mile stretch of highway which is between two radio stations. One only plays either jazz chaos or electronica, the other plays classical or NPR news. They fade back and forth with a whisper of radio static. and I've gotta admit this mashup is my favorite radio station of all time.
