Free Jazz / Fusion

Ascension · 04.11.2006, 05:21 PM

As I know that SY-fans are open minded, I'm asking for recommendations in this genres.
My favourites:

John Coltrane - Ascension (The Rova Live Recording is great!), Interstellar Space, Meditations, Sun Ship, Transition
Rashied Ali & Frank Lowe - Duo Exchange
Archie Shepp - Magic of Juju
Don Cherry - Mu, Complete Communion,...
Ornette Coleman - Free Jazz ; )
Eric Dolphy - Out to Lunch
Andrew Hill - Point of Departure
Bobby Hutcherson - Dialogue

Miles Davis - Live Evil (What I Say!!), Dark Magus, Pangaea,...
John McLaughlin - Extraploation
Mahavishnu Orchestra - Inner Mounting Flame
and if you wanna add: Freddie Hubbard - Straight Life & Red Clay

What else you I enjoy except these artists?
And I dont like "Machine Gun" and Weather Report ; )

Thanks.

You don't like machine gun?!?
You prob. won't like any peter brotzmann then, although some stuff is not so harsh.
theres always bailey but thats solo guitar.
zorn.
I think tim berne does some free jazz, cant remember
julius hemphil(sp?) some some different stuff.

ornette is good, ive got "something else" by him pretty good.
Wadada leo smith plays some mean trumpet, you should check out his colab with zorn in the 6th birthday series, some good stuff.

your list is pretty good.

edit:
oh yeah, theres the "last exit" band.

Sheriff Rhys Chatham · 04.11.2006, 08:08 PM

fuck, I forgot Anthony Braxton. Most of his stuff could be considered free jazz.

johnnywinternoshow · 04.11.2006, 08:15 PM

is hancock & the headhunters considered fusion? If so, then that is all you need

Sheriff Rhys Chatham · 04.11.2006, 08:20 PM

I remember listening to Coltrane's "ascension" for the first time. That shit gave me anxiety attacks, trying to do work while listening.

Magic of Juju damn i've been looking for that Shepp album forever...i've never heard it!!! damn it... and it has 5 percussionists on it, sounds like it be total insanity!

Albert Ayler: Love Cry (Impulse!)
Feat. Albert's brother Donald on trumpet (on his last recording w/ his older brother before being committed to a mental institution) and the killer rhythm section of Alan Silva on bass and Milford Graves on Drums... forget those tracks that feat. Call Cobbs on organ, harpsichord, they sound corny but the rest is damn stellar the most killer march/free/march intensity, an obscure fav. of mine of the Ayler catalog also since its recorded quite well like most Impulse! recordings...

Thanks, I remember looking on Amazon last year and not wanting to pay the $34 plus dollars for the only available import version on cd, so i just gave up... prices have dropped some and it seems to be more easily available now. they really should make a domestic (US) re-release...

SuchFriendsAreDangerous · 04.12.2006, 12:07 AM

you should check out this band http://www.myspace.com/groundation

http://www.groundation.com

Everyneurotic · 04.12.2006, 12:24 AM

dietzer123 · 04.12.2006, 01:11 AM

a great free jazz fusion album is "process of weeding out"-black flag. greg ginn weeeeeee

hat and beard · 04.12.2006, 10:44 AM

clifford thornton - the panther and the lash
byard lancaster - it's not up to us (may satisfy both your quest for fusion and free jazz)
alan silva and the celestial communion orchestra
art ensemble of chicago - fanfare for the warriors
art ensemble of chicago - a jackson in your house
pharoah sanders - izipho zam
if you haven't already heard don cherry's orient i highly recommend that one.

Sheriff Rhys Chatham · 04.12.2006, 02:08 PM

I was listening to some live freejazz on my mp3 today in music theory while the other kids talked about cold play, greenday, and some metal stuff.

dietzer123 · 04.12.2006, 08:37 PM

free jazz is fun ass shit to jam with on the ol' trombonamaphone

Sheriff Rhys Chatham · 04.12.2006, 08:40 PM

Why don't people abort their retarded babies? I've never received a satisfactory answer to this question.

because of reputations.
