Title: Another jazz man
Post by Tooppy on 09/02/22 at 09:36:10

During the 70's there was a trend of "nordic" jazzmen with Arne Domnerus and his "Jazz at the pawnshop", but also a very special drift from another saxophonist, Jan Garbarek, and you can have an idea of his search with three very different albums, but not only, "Rites" , "Madar" and "Ragas & Sagas".
You'll notice that he plays with Anouar Brahem I mentioned in a previous post, but also Ustad Shaukat Hussain, Manu Katché, John Surman etc.... if you search for these guys, you'll discover an all lot more of flavours.

Very interesting musicians that I have investigated over the years and though not my steady diet, they produce enjoyable music. I have more of Jan's recordings though most of his I have is with Keith Jarrett.

The "Pawnshop" recordings are nice, though I think many listen to them because of their deserved "audiophile" reputation.

One of the famous jazz musicians from Europe that I have collected is Lars Gullin. He was an excellent composer and a compelling soloist. I also grab all that I can of the Clarke Boland Big Band and the small group recordings of theirs and soloists such as Sahib Shihab and Fats Sadi. I tend to focus on older recordings because jazz before fusion is my favorite form; much of contemporary "jazz" has incorporated a lot of elements from other genres and has become somewhat diluted in my opinion. . . i'ts great if it's enjoyed by others but many recordings don't have enough of the tradition for me. But I dip my toes into the waters on occasion.

I understand that, I am the same sometimes, when it is too far out I consider it to be a different music but I have no name for it.

Jazz before "Free jazz" and after is my favorite, traditional dixie and guys like David Sanborn are great.

Leon,

I didn't know Boland so I am discovering.

Cool. To me he digested the jazz world of Ellington--who I adore--and brought his own modernism in. And Kenny Clarke was a big influence on my own drumming.

T, if you're interested in checking out another jazz discussion thread on the internet, some years ago I started this one on the Steve Hoffman forum and it has grown to have an interesting and international contributor base that leads to thoughtful discussion and new discoveries.
