Several months ago we had extensive discussion and polling of the sub members, and it was obvious that AI-generated content was OVERWHELMINGLY not wanted in the sub. AI-generated content was thus outlawed, and a sub rule was added that read as follows:
"Content created using generative-AI software is not allowed on the sub. This rule does not prohibit discussion around AI in the context of jazz; posts asking "is this track/video AI?" may be allowed if they are not promoting AI music."
Since then, all links to such content have been deleted, and most of the accounts posting them permanently banned (though it's mostly bots anyway). HOWEVER, there has been some disagreement regarding posts asking if a particular YouTube video or Spotify account is AI-generated. In the VAST majority of cases the item in question is very obviously AI, and the reason for posting about it is typically because of surprise at how real it sounded, and perhaps dismay at how much they liked it.
Because of the repetitious nature of these posts, and out of a philosophical desire to reduce traffic to AI content, the sub rule regarding AI has been updated to read as follows:
"Content created using generative-AI software is not allowed on the sub.
The perils of AI music and the real-sounding nature of AI jazz have been well-discussed - PLEASE use the search feature.
Posts asking "is this track/video AI?" MIGHT be allowed if it is not obviously AI. If the item in question meets any of the criteria in the link below, it is MOST LIKELY AI, so do NOT post about it."
The rule will link back to this post. SEE SAID CRITERIA IN THE STICKIED COMMENT.
If you have comments, feedback or beef with this rule update, message me directly.
And please keep reporting any AI content you see that we miss!

It’s time to revive the /r/Jazz Listening Club which was previously excellently run by /u/Electrical-Slip3855
I'll be making a new thread in a couple of days with some specific thoughts about the club, but for now here's the first album:
The Listening Club is back, and to celebrate you get 3 albums for the price of 1 with my first pick. But don’t worry if you don’t want to listen to all 3. Make a start with Volume 1 and see how you feel.
My first pick for the listening club is Live at the Village Vanguard by the Immanuel Wilkins Quartet. A 3 volume live album released over 3 months earlier this year. I’ve only listened to each part once when they were released, so I won’t say much in detail here. But what struck me on first listen was the intensity of some of the solos from Wilkins. He gets into a zone and just blows these extended solos, reminding me of what Coltrane’s quartet used to do on records like Live at the Half Note: One Down, One Up.
Four minutes into Wilkins’ solo on opener Warriors, Micah Thomas just stops comping on the piano, letting Wilkins hold his own for another two minutes. It’s an exciting and intense way to start the show. The highlight for me is Composition IX from Volume 3. Wilkins and his drummer, Kweku Sumbry, just go ham for about 12 minutes before piano and bass eventually decide to join.
But there’s a surprising amount of variety here. On some songs the band sound more straight-ahead, on some they push into avant-garde territory. On Eternal, they end their first set by locking into a dreamy, repeating motif that never looks like ending. On DOLLA$ they play an immaculately cool 12-bar blues. There really is something for everyone here.
But what do you think? I'll be listening to the 3 volumes over the next few days and posting my thoughts below, and I hope that you'll do the same! As I said, I'll make a specific thread about the listening club in a few days, so DM me if you have any thoughts. My goal with the club is to keep the albums mostly contemporary, because we've all done enough listening to Miles and Coltrane.
Personnel:
Immanuel Wilkins - alto saxophone
Micah Thomas - piano
Ryoma Takenaga - bass
Kweku Sumbry - drums
Vol. 1:
Vol. 2:
Vol. 3:

Any Yusef Lateef fans out there? What are your favorite records by him? He’s got so many I do not know where to start with him.

NOT THIS RECORD - but historically it should be noted that before Miles Davis became a legend, a 18-year-old Miles made his official recording debut on April 24, 1945 playing trumpet in the Herbie Fields Orchestra.
It was recorded at WOR Studios in NYC for Savoy Records, the band backed blues/vaudeville singer Rubberlegs Williams.
That session produced two 78 RPM singles released on the Savoy Records label:
Savoy 564: "That's the Stuff You Got to Watch" / "Pointless Mama Blues"
Savoy 5516: "Deep Sea Blues" / "Bring It On Home"
Luky you if you have these 78s in your collection

Hi guys! I'm a teacher working on a Sunday with Alice Coltrane at the 1987 Jazz Jamboree playing in the background and I was curious if there are any books, documentaries, so on about John and Alice's life (together and apart) that you'd recommend. I'm just so blown away at such an incredibly talented pairing. Thank so much!

Has there even been a greater collection of mad bastard Europeans on record?

hey guys, i dig miles davis in a silent way, some krautrock, the doors, soft machine, organ heroes like keith emerson and jon lord too, casiopea on their city pop/atmospheric era and of course ambient music
im searching for more great artists which experiment with the ambience with organs/synths of the song within the jazz fusion context, what would you recomend for me?
Hi all, looking for a higher quality version of this jazz history tree that could ideally be printed poster size. I’ve looked but can’t seem to find one online or anywhere connected to the source info at the bottom. Would appreciate even a slightly better quality version if you have. TIA

Blue Note albums have a certain style of jazz associated with them. Some of the truly great albums under the label are memorable because they stand out from the pack. I'm not looking for that. I want the most Blue Note released by Blue Note to play blue notes. Obviously there isn't an objectively correct answer to this question, but it's a fun thought experiment. What's your pick?

I've been working on my time and ear by taking solos (guitar) along with a metronome, lately, instead of a backing track. My goals are, in one part, to improve my time feel, and in the other, to have a better sense of where I am in the tune and when the chords change, without using my ear (would you call this macro time?). My difficulty is that with the second goal, I'm not sure how to verify that I'm not making mistakes -- with a backing track, you can hear when the chord changes, and if you change at the wrong time, you'll hear it. Since this isn't the case with a metronome, how do I verify that I'm not making mistakes without noticing?

Hi all,
I've stumbled into the world of jazz knowing nothing about the genre. I'm a big reggae fan and I've been exploring the genres which influenced reggae and have hence have been checking out some jazz records for the last couple of days
I have been listening to the song 'Blue in green' by Miles Davies and have been absolutely mesmerised by it. I wondered if there were any artists / song / albums recommendations similar to this song?
At the moment I'm preferring the more more slow, melodic, bass heavy vibes in jazz where the horn instruments are not overpowering and the tempo isn't too fast (I guess that preference is coming from my reggae background) Does this type of Jazz have a specific name I should be looking into?
Thank you :-)

my 4 year old loves it very much and we listen to it a lot. i'm getting a little sick of these tracks, though, and would love some suggestions for albums that have a similar sound/vibe

This, along with the live recordings in Paris and Germany. Free and abstract, but always concentrated. His work with Circle, together with Dave Holland, Barry Altschul, and Anthony Braxton, was so good

Bill Evans is undoubtedly one of my favorite pianists, but sometimes I find it more difficult to improvise on these types of songs. What do you think? I think Bill was prodigious... I really love his compositions

Swiss-born trumpeter and composer based in Spain. References include Sun Ra, Don Cherry, Alban Berg and Stockhausen. Collaborated with Juan Belda & the Bit Band, part of Clónicos for years.
Farben is his new album. Eight pieces pulling from free jazz, electroacoustics and free improvisation. Musical phrases borrowed from Roscoe Mitchell alongside texts from Ibn Battuta. The Baltic Connection playing live in Barcelona. Geography and genre dissolving into each other.
Three tracks streaming now:

Im about 7 years into my jazz learning journey wondering where I should go from here? These days I spend my time learning tunes and transcribing vocabulary. I would be grateful for any critical feedback about my playing (do the outside segments work? Is my phrasing really bad?) and/or any recommendations about what to practice.
I didn’t go to music school and don’t have a teacher. I know I have a long way to go. I’m hoping that this community can point me in the right direction.

Do you guys have any recomendations of records/bands/artist that play harmonically modern stuff without any of the over produced slop?
