What's Spinning

Have you ever heard Pharoah's version? Absolutely mind-blowing. I'm guessing @kafunis and @Mr Moore have already, but if not, essential to check out for you guys as well (and everyone):

I'm the first to admit my knowledge of jazz merely skates the surface. It's why I love it so much, there's always something more for me to be introduced to, something new to sink my teeth into. This is one of them, thanks! I'll take a listen.

Ha! If your jazz knowledge only skates the surface, then I...well, don't even know how I'd fit in that analogy 😂 . I get what you're saying though, there are some insane jazz heads out there- probably the deepest genre to explore overall.

Happy to introduce you to something new!

I'm not sure I'm even at the skating level yet. There's so much out there. I've tended to go deep on a few of the classic musicians and broad on the modern stuff. But it's easy to feel utterly overwhelmed at times

Thanks @D Jilla for this - this is heady stuff. One thing I love on the Coltrane version is the twin bass, one plucked and one bowed. Sounds totally amazing to me
 
Yeah Jazz is a lifetime journey for sure, but there is so much out there that is amazing and then years later you will discover another artist that will take you in a completely different direction, I’ve really only been exploring artists like Anthony Braxton the last couple of years and his discography is 100 plus releases, I know that I will never hear it all but it’s given my ears and brain lots of stimulation.I was a drummer in the 80/90’s and that is when I listened to a lot of jazz/fusion stuff and I’ve gone through periods of not listening to as much jazz, but the last few years it’s been most of my listening.
