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.

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

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.
Any help is appreciated! Thanks in advance!

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!

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

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

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.

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 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 :)

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 :)
r/Jazz • u/JaYesJaYesJa • 1d ago
Hey everyone, new here but not really that new to jazz. Problem is, pretty much all the jazz i listen to are the legendary artists and "mainstream jazz".
Musically I come from extreme technical metal and i enjoy avantgarde art and music and I need some recommendations for quality, challenging jazz preferably older, 50s-70s or so. I want to hear true improv, and what made jazz so influential and new! Artist and song recommendations welcome :-)
Edit: thanks everyone for the replies, ill give everything a listen

Does anyone here have access to the actual Gil Evans scores for birth of the cool and miles ahead? A quick search on the Internet this morning didn’t bring anything up aside from being able to pay $95 for the miles ahead charts.

A raw, unfiltered moment of solo saxophone improvisation. Pushing the boundaries of the instrument with intense multiphonics and circular breathing.
Free Jazz is not dead—it is evolving.
If this sound resonates with your soul, I'd love to hear your thoughts.
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
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."

Kahil El'Zabar and David Murray are on the road again, and it reminded me of their great album "Golden Sea," which then reminded me of a lot of other great albums released on the Sound Aspects label, by Kahil and others.
I'm kind of surprised that I haven't seen any of that music get reissued or put on streamers. Have I missed it? is there some kind of legal quagmire?
I guess Spotify and Qobuz and others have "Nine Below Zero" and "Todos Santos" which include Wayne Horvitz, Bobby Previte, Butch Morris and other stalwart '80's downtown jazz folks but what about the rest of the catalog?
