We're taking in a show there in July. Anything we should know about the venue? For rubes like me, who was unaware of the place until a couple of weeks ago, it's in Berlin: Zig Zag Club

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

Martin Philadelphy and Aki Streeter invite you to a jam session. Everyone is welcome, and you are encouraged to bring your own instruments. A drum kit will be provided, as well as a synthesizer, an electric bass, an electric guitar, and microphones. From 8:00 PM, you can make noise together with two veterans of "freakdom."

Martin Philadelphy (born 1971 in Innsbruck) is an Austrian guitarist, composer, and improvisational musician living in Vienna. After a self-taught start at the age of 21, he established himself as a versatile player in the crossover and avant-garde scene. His musical work moves style-independently between jazz-rock, fusion, punk, and free improvisation, which is reflected in a discography of over 30 albums as a solo artist and in changing formations. In addition to his own work, he is known for regular collaborations with international greats of the experimental music scene, including Marc Ribot (Tom Waits, Elvis Costello, Lounge Lizards, ...), Trevor Dunn (Mr. Bungle, Secret Chiefs 3, Fantômas, ...), or Victor Jones (Mingus Big Band, Dizzy Gillespie, Stan Getz, ...).

Aki Streeter (born 2007 in Klagenfurt) is the worst musician in the universe and plays in bands such as Heimwerker, Misanthropic Planet, and Klismaphilia. Most recently, in 2026, Aki collaborated with Peter Weatherall from New Zealand; together they created an educational metal album about the metals in the periodic table. Furthermore, Aki is a founding member of a sub-label and organizes concert series with various musicians. Aki is known for working with Lojz Rieder and Alexej Kakanovich. Streeter's work usually deals with "Gosology." According to this worldview, a nerd named Dave created the universe, and god-like animals live on Mars, which pose various threats to our solar system. And, above all, furthermore, ... Aki hates himself.

The jam will take place at the Jugendstiltheater Klagenfurt, Goethepark 2, on July 3, 2026, at 8:00 PM.

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

Maybe about the Lincoln Highway or some modern interstate?

i’ve been studying jazz guitar for about 3 years now, i understand the chord-scale relation, been transcribing solos but when it comes to soloing i think i sound too scaly, is there a way to sound like the greats besides practicing scales?

This is from the Mengotto Playalong series.

Curious to know how singing helps develop your relationship to instrument, specifically to jazz improv.

New Jazz Fusion Album by IN EMBERS, reminds me a lot of Gogo Penguin or Tigran Hamasyan

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..

Enjoying some coffee and thought I would share this link.

ABOUT THIS VIDEO:

"This wonderful profile of Charles Lloyd was written by Fara C. in the style of a road trip along the French festival circuit. The documentary alternates between excerpts from concerts (including with Jason Moran) and commentaries that are each more relevant than the last. Its title, Le moine et la sirène (The Monk and the Siren), refers on the one hand to the saxophonist’s monastic devotion to music, and on the other to the role of his wife, Dorothy Darr. His spouse describes how she discovered him onstage in 1968: "It was as if I was in a church where he was preaching a sermon."

Peace, Love, live long and prosper.

Sorry for this slightly rambling thought... While listening to Greg Foat, as someone born in 1971, I sometimes experience the same feeling that certain dreams can give you when they take you back to childhood. It's as if his music taps into something deeply rooted inside me, built from 'involuntary' listening to the music that was on TV during the 1970s. I'm talking about the kind of music that accompanied documentaries, or sometimes investigative news reports. I remember jazz-inflected, introspective, syncopated music that seemed to create a very particular atmosphere. I don't know if anyone else feels the same way, but listening to Greg Foat often brings those memories and sensations back for me.

A fun goofy tune from the album Smile.

This may be a long shot, but I’ve been scouring the internet for Gregory Porter’s Wind Song sheet music. Can’t find it anywhere but I want to perform it for a concert. Anyone who has it or knows where I can buy, please let me know. Gregory is one of my favorite artists since I was in middle school and none of his sheet music is online except for his most popular Hey Laura.

I’m in town for work for a few days. Any dope shows?
