I was busy summing up my thoughts, I was probably clacking away at the keyboard and didn't even hear it. D: |

Ok, just finished listening to Ivan's pick, and I can say that's some of the best jazz I've heard (I haven't heard much though...). The first track features a nice relaxing melody with more instruments coming in as the song goes. Nice, but it's overshadowed by the other two. The second track continues in the spirirt of the first and it blew me away more than the first one. The accelerating beat and the drummer going mad in the middle of the song are very effective and I loved it. The third track is magnificent again (:cigar:), leaving me completely blown away by the piano and the band sound in it (guitar, drumming, just to name a few). The bass playing seems to be expressed more on this particular track and it's very melodic jazz walking bass-style playing that I, being a bassist, really loved. All I can say is that I was shocked by how good it was. It owns. 10/10 |

Did everyone remember to download the fourth track? It's missing from the album Ivan uploaded, but I uploaded the song seperately and posted it on the previous page. |

This is great. Out of all of the jazz albums I've heard (there are still some that I have but didn't listen to) I'd say this one is the best, or "coolest" album. You can just listen to the talent right there. I just love the sound they had. This is definitely getting a permanent iPod spot. Now Playing: Charles Mingus - Track A |

Before I say anything else, let me get this out of the way before I get attacked by jazz elitists. This is not my first jazz album.. When I was 10 or 11, my dad burnt me a copy of the Dave Brubek Quartet's "Take Five". I loved it, it just had it's own mystic flow. The drumming was amazing, there were a couple catchy piano solos (or lines, or whatever you call playing the instrument in your weird lingo). That's all I can remember, which is weird considering I probably listened to it twice a week. Knowing I was dying for more, my dad burnt me a Bird and Diz cd I listned to almost as frequently. I guess I lost those cd's or something. But from what I do remember from those albums, I know they were nothing like what I just listened to. What I just heard was, what I would guess is, the jazz equivalant of Frank Zappa: seemingly out of his way to be different (although, who am I to say what is different from something I hardly know?) This had all sorts of odd, muted instruments that Mingus knew how to use these. Perhaps I'm just not used to something so foriegn, but sometimes these muted instruments would rub me the wrong way. The drums and piano were quite good, they never seemed to play, just solo, but with jazz music somehow that's just what it's supposed to be like. The muted trumpets and other brass instruments, however, seemed to interfere with that. You have a stream of instruments all playing something different at the same time, and it works out fine. But these loud, attention whoring horns just show up and play whatever they want, it just (to me) detracted from the song. Another thing I was hoping for was some insane bass playing by Mingus. Sometimes I had to stop what I was doing to hear the bass at all. I know it's not electric, it's an upright, but it took effort to hear sometimes. Eventually I gave up and gave you benefit of the doubt. From what I heard, however, I'm surprised the rest of the band was able to keep up with him. It's weird, he would just play whatever he wanted, but the band didn't seem to mind. Like I said, the drums were also enjoyable. Sometimes he would play a pattern, but other times he would just go into a solo and it seemed like the only reason he was there to add another whacky sound to the album. There was nothing wrong with it, he had a lot of skill (just like the guy from the Brubek Quartet). Unfortunately, eventually this would all just kind of blend together mindlessly and I would tune out. Maybe I just need to listen to this album more and it will have the same "magic and life changing" effect it has had on everybody else. 6.75/10, 25/40, 5/8. Yah. I'll probably appreciate it more when I listen to it more, which I probably will do soon enough. |
