[|NTeRN]

im looking for some good modern/ electric jazz. could be with or without singing. ive never been really into music so im not too sure where to go to find some.

[tomwaits4noman]

Barry Adamson is good not sure if he could be classed as pure Jazz he is mix of Jazz electronic etc, He used to be Bass player for Magazine and Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds.

The Cowboy Bebop OST are damn good, albeit not everything on it is jazz.

Hey, you should check out artists like Koop, Nicola Conte, Xploding Plastix, St.Germaine and others... I'm into this kind of music lately, I especially love if it has that bossanova note to it.

Nice station BigMad, thanks!

i tried to get into herbie hancock, but his stuff sounded too...electronic, and kinda cheesy. perhaps it was just the album? i dunno, some of them were the top songs in last.fm...ah well. to each his own i guess.


paolo conte, i STRONGLY urge you to listen to this man. GENIUS.

[tensai]

can anyone recommend big band jazz stuff?

It's probably more orchestra orientated and modern than the classic bigband stuff, but both Gil Evans and Charles Mingus wrote and recorded a lot of stuff for ehh, huge bands..

Check Mingus' Let my children hear music or Gil Evans' there comes a time for example. Great compositions. Or if that's too modern you might like Porgy & Bess by Miles Davis and Gil Evans.

I saw this street performing band in Santa Monica called The Supa Lowery Brothers. They were simply amazing!

It was a blend of jazz and hip hop (not rap, but Fugees, Tribe Called Quest, Black Star type of hip hop).

Most of their music is just straight up modern jazz, but some songs a singer will rap on social issues. I heard these guy perform this song about Hurricane Katrina, it was mesmerizing, the lyrics were very deep.

Anyway, here's their website: http://www.supalowerybros.com/

Just listen to the song that's on their opening page, they're like that, mostly jazz with a solo trumpet. very cool stuff.

just thought i'd bump this with www.jazzexcursion.com
absolute prime stuff,though not exclusively modern jazz...wild mix from everything,but most of the time it's simply superb. (if you ask me,because i don't know all too much bout jazz)
and 2nd asoir's call for paolo conte,will make you smile.

[El_Bert]

Lefran - If you like that Big Voodoo Daddy stuff, you should try the Brian Setzer Orchestra as well (if you haven't already) Alltho it's more big band then jazz.

[Uziel]

What you mean with modern jazz if it's the experimental stuff with only improvisation; then i got no idea - i hate that stuff.
I think you mean acid jazz.

Best way to enjoy jazz is a jazz café with a live band.
