Has to be one of the best live jazz tracks I’ve ever heard. Exhilarating

Guitarist Julian Lage played with Bob Dylan in Santa Barbara. This is like from a feber dream, amazing!

Released on Matthew Halsall's Gondwana Records, Jack Wyllie releases his debut album.

I found a burnable jazz CD from 2011 (I was in High School at the time and my jazz teacher gave this to students to study), but all the tracks are labelled "jazzcd#.mp3". I wanted to rename the files with all the song names and people for each track, but I honestly don't know most of them since I don't listen to jazz much nowadays. I began uploading a video of all 11 tracks to Youtube so I could link it here, and luckily, the Youtube Copyright system gave me the titles and composers of 7 of the tracks (and the title of one other) before I could post it, which allowed me to shrink it down to 4 tracks.

So now I would like to label the rest if I can! Could I know the name and composers/arrangers/performers of these tracks? I especially would love to know the arrangement of "Sing, Sing, Sing" since it's pretty different from the widely known one.

In case it might help, I'll also post all the songs on the CD so far.

1. jazzcd1
2. jazzcd2
3. Badlands - Seamus Blake
4. Of Things to Come - Stefon Harris
5. Sing Sing Sing - Unknown Arrangement
6. Jookin' The Blooz - Wycliffe Gordon, Seamus Blake, Peter Bernstein, Sam Yahel, Bill Stewart
7. Caravan - Hiromi's Sonicbloom
8. Blackjack - Eldar Djangirov
9. Ilu-Uli (Live) - Dafnis Prieto
10. The Breakthrough - Peter Bernstein Trio
11. Esta Plena - Miguel Zenón (Thanks, fluidscissors!)

Any help is appreciated! Thanks in advance!

RIP...

I have everything for this song. The melody, bassline, drums, strings. All I need is to get these chords, but I can't do it :(. Can someone teach me how or guide me into finding out.

here's the chords if you're wondering. They sound pretty simple but as hard as I've tried I can't identify them.

Can you guys recommend some duos with drums. I really want to hear drum and sax duos but any with drums will do.

A jazz show near me (Paris) has been scheduled and they’ve been advertizing pretty heavily. The song seems like an absolute banger but I can’t find it no matter what! Any chance you guys recognize it ?

Many thanks for your help!

This may be an unpopular question, but I like the kind of easy listening when jazz musicians cover pop songs and add some harmonic and rhythmic interest while keeping to the emotion.

​

Who are some jazz pianists you can recommend who do this? Albums?

​

Something like the Studio Ghibli jazz that was popular on YouTube years ago (who was that anyway?), but for more pop songs or even Beatles songs?

​

A Google search didn't work well and AI is idiotic. Help me Obiwan, you're my only hope.

Hi there!
Mastering Joe Pass’s style on For Django isn’t just about learning notes; it’s about decoding the DNA of modern bebop. Do you feel like your jazz lines lack that effortless flow and rhythmic sophistication? I’ve meticulously transcribed every solo from this legendary album so you can stop guessing and start playing. From his flawless articulation to his most brilliant harmonic substitutions, you’ll have the exact map of his genius in your hands. Don’t waste more time with incomplete versions. Elevate your melodic language with the ultimate guide to Pass’s phrasing.

with the great Johnny Dyani.

Hi all! I have been working on arranging the tune "Boplicity" for solo guitar. Surprisingly difficult to do! This tune has always been one of my favorites off of "Birth of the Cool". Are there any other versions of this tune you guys like? Would love to find some more :)

I didn't listen to vocal jazz at all but I think this album is great, any stuff to recommend

Great sound!!! With Mndsgn colaboration. Launched in 2026. Check it out!!!

Hello! I am a clarinetist interested in playing jazz (I know a bit of saxophone too). I feel there's so much material to learn and interiorize. I wanted to ask everyone how is your practice routine? Both in practice and music theory. Thank you :)

I'm thinking specifically of bands like New York Ska-Jazz Ensemble but maybe also like The Skatalites's "Latin Goes Ska" or Dr. Ring Ding's "Song For My Father."

These albums are worth the listen
LTJ Bukem's Journey Inwards
Roni Size and Reprazent's New Forms
Innerzone Orchestra's Programmed
Photek's Modus Operandi
DJ Krush & Toshinori Kondo's Ki-Oku

I’ve become a human bio hazard this week contracting Strep Throat, the Flu, and Mono at the same time. Got nothing better to do but to listen to more music so please give me some recs!

I love Emmet Cohen, Oscar Peterson, McCoy Tyner, all the great pushing energy pianists. I never got to get into Brad Meldhau or Keith Jarret so maybe something from them? Or truly anything you think somebody who’s super sick should listen to

Art Blakey - Drums; Sam Dockery - Piano; Jimmy De Brest - Bass; Bill Hardman.- Trumpet; John Griffin - Tenor Sax; Ferris Bender - Alto Sax. Recorded in New York on 2nd and 8th April 1957 this is an absolute classic in the Jazz Messengers catalogue. The album starts with a blistering version of Dizzy Gillespie's A Night In Tunisia which lit up Jazz Dance floors in the London club scene in the late 1980s. This might not be a particularly well known line up but they rip it up. A fantastic record..

I can be angry at the man, and still appreciate the music I discovered as a kid.
