Any fans here? I would like to buy some of his music and would like to know which album I should start off with.
Thanks!
Thanks!
This though, this was beautiful. It was completely cohesive and just flowed oh so sweetly from movement to movement. I'll probably continue to move through his catalog, but if there are other artists who sound like this as well, I want in, if someone (Iron Yuppie >_>) would be willing to suggest more.
Ha, I can certainly suggest more. The best place to start is with the people who played alongside Miles on Kind of Blue.
There is a compilation called Sides of Blue that contains tracks from the sidemen. It seems like a great place to start.
In terms of LPs, Wynton Kelly's Kelly Blue, John Coltrane's Blue Train, Cannonball Adderley's Somethin' Else, and basically anything from Bill Evans are also similar to Kind of Blue.
A Tribute to Jack Johnson
Haha, that Jack Johnson probably hadn't been born by that time! See here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Johnson_(boxer)
You may also want to check some of Bill Evans' albums (he played piano in Kind of Blue and is one of my favorite pianists this side of Thelonious Monk. Waltz for Debby is a good place to start, I think.
And while we are talking about pianists who played with Miles, I would also mention Keith Jarrett. His Koln Concert may be somewhat overplayed (being one of the best selling jazz albums), but it is still fantastic.
Hancock's Headhunters is one of my favorite jazz albums, period. Really, really funky. I think I used one of the songs in my DI playlist sometime ago.

Can I just take this moment to say I never found Old Gregg even slightly funny? Very annoying cos all my friends saw it and started quoting it ad nauseam.
Old Gregg?
Do you REAAAALLLLY wanna know?
