Note: Remember, official or not, whatever, as long as you requested, you're as good as in and can start posting right away. You just don't get on the members list right away if I'm not online.

To ensure you are welcomed to this FC thread, you shouldn't do the following:
1.
Hate or dislike Jazz
2.
Unreasonable flaming(flame someone for the right reasons, not because you don't like him/her)
3.

Spam(going off-topic a bit is fine but try not to stray too far)

I'll join in a heartbeat. The appealing thing about jazz for me, much like metal and classical, is that it is such a wide umbrella heading, covering a massive amount of varied styles, individual flavors, and spins. These are the thinking man's music. It is unfortunate that its sales are in the single digits, around 3-5% at best in the US, of the whole music market where prepackaged bullshit reigns supreme. It is very unfortunant because every single one of today's "artists" would be nobody if it wasn't for what people like Jelly Roll Morton, Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Miles Davis, John Coltrane, and Benny Goodman did. They forget that their innovations and determination paved the way for what we now recognise as popular music.

[June]

joinage please! :amazed:

[Milkshake]

Welcome, both of you. Grab a banner & link to the thread if you like. I'm actually surprised only two joined... at the same time I'm delighted that people actually joined.

You're absolutely right about that,metalsoup111. Hmm, I thought that jazz music was doing good in the US. Guess I was wrong... It's even worse here in Malaysia,only about 8% of the country, excluding the senior people, listen or even have a jazz album in their daily soundtrack, and where I'm currently living, it's as if only two or three people actually listen to jazz. It's quite sad.

[metalsoup111]

^^Jazz is almost nothing here in the states. I mean, it is THE american music, but it has been forgotten...

[Aidan]

hey guys, i've been invited to join. I don't know much jazz but I'm always looking to broaden my musical horizons, and I love things like the Cowboy Bebop soundtrack and Logos Naki World (the intro to the Hellsing anime). What would you guys suggest I start out with to sort of ease my way into the genre? (while I'm at it, metalsoup, got any metal suggestions?)

edit: lol, dzsessz...

[Razvan_Asakura]

I'll join .... and here are some cool anime jazz videos , kinda . lol

Grungrave - Opening [jazz version]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y3imw2FS-vQ

Grungrave - Ending [classic style - best 2006 / one of the few endings I actually enjoy]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=efePDVNfs-s

[Aidan]

Logos Naki World, in case you haven't seen it. (imo it's the best part of the anime, besides this the OVAs are much better)
y1V8Xv5VJcs
Milkshake obviously already knows tank!, and probably everyone else, but hey, all the more reason to post it.
T6zDfxZ4NcE

[Razvan_Asakura]

Yeah , that's a pretty nice song there. It has been one of my favorite anime openings for years now. [as in jazz tastes]

[Aidan]

There was also a Canada FC, so...
hey, that's MY FC. I'll have you know it kicks motherfucking ass. and it does so to a swing beat. tshhh tshh-t-tshhh tshh-t-tshhh..
man, it's hard to write beats like that... :)

say, what do you guys think of Django Reinhardt? I've got some of his music, I just realized. amazing.

Oh, i see you're still fresh with the music genre, I assumed too quickly you were a jazz fan, since I read your post in the Cowboy Bebop FC saying that you like the series because of the music and the movement so I assumed... haha

hey, that's MY FC. I'll have you know it kicks motherfucking ass. and it does so to a swing beat. tshhh tshh-t-tshhh tshh-t-tshhh..
man, it's hard to write beats like that... :)

Hehe, I just thought it was kind of funny since it was in the joke FC section. Haha at those beats, I'll just remove that canada thing from the first post now... and Django Reinhardt, I've never heard of him but I'll definitely check out his music. Great videos by the way.

[Aidan]

someone put it in the joke section? why? It was legit.

Django Reinjardt lost the use of all but 2 fingers on his left hand in a fire but was still able to become a master at guitar and do amazing solos, all with just his index and middle fingers.

[Milkshake]

^My mistake, I was thinking of the "Veggie FC"...

This Django guy seems pretty awesome. Definitely going to check his music out. Anyone here love the music of Ray Charles? The man is nothing short of a genius.

[metalsoup111]

You gotta love the Blues Brothers.
"Everybody Needs Somebody To Love" (Solomon Burke Cover)
mDr4f1jGH04
"Shake Your Tailfeather" with Ray Charles
S7lwcjNaH_A

[Aidan]

fuck yeah blues brothers. I think my favorite one from that movie though is Aretha Franklin's "Think". She's got one hell of a voice.

Where would you guys say soul fits in? Have you seen The Commitments? It's a really interesting film about an Irish soul band, it's a lot of fun.

[huey06]

TOTAL JOINAGE!!! lol i play in a jazz band for college. we have 5 different ones where i go. we are pretty good. :P

the thing i like about jazz (playing it anyway) is the freedom at which you can interpret it. its loosely structured compared to other types of music as far as rhythms and stuff. its just a lot of fun to play. i also love listen to ballad jazz and almost blues stuff to just mellow out. a nice mellow tenor sax song and i could sleep like a baby for days lol

[Milkshake]

Welcome, Huey06. Grab the banner & link to the thread, if you like. You upload your band's songs on Youtube or any other site? I'd sure like to listen.

[huey06]

um im getting a copy of our latest concert we just had so ill see what i can do. ill look around youtube to see if any of our jazz bands are on there.

i play trumpet btw lol (notice i left that out of the first post :S)

[metalsoup111]

@huey06: Mellow tenor sax song? This one's for you then. This is my favorite Coltrane tune which is kind of funny because he's the guy know for playing a million notes per song and this is a smooth, beautiful, slow ballad...

Awesome. I can't wait to see/listen to some of your performances.

[huey06]

im in the night jazz band which is suppose to be the "lowest" one but we are usually one of the better ones. we only meet once a week which makes it hard to work up things sometimes. i should be able to start uploading stuff by tuesday at the earliest. that should be when i get the CD. we have another concert on the 2nd or 3rd of dec so i should have another cd then too.

[Mithrandir]

I'll join. Love Jazz, but still a bit of a newcomer to the genre.

I especially like Freddie Hubbard (genius), Dexter Gordon, Dave Weckl band and of course the anime classics such as the Bebop intro.

unofficial welcome blkorgasm!

[Milkshake]

^Unofficial welcome? Just an ordinary welcome would have suffice, it's not much of difference anyway... Hahaha What I'm trying to say is there's no such thing as an "unofficial/official welcome", not in this FC anyway... So, as I was supposed to say; Welcome, blkorgasm.

Also, don't forget to thank metalsoup for all the awesome videos. George Benson rocks.

[huey06]

sorry, its just what im used to when i dont own the FC which is all but the black lagoon one.

[OminousG]

Hidden Beach Recordings


check them out and report back...

[Milkshake]

sorry, its just what im used to when i dont own the FC which is all but the black lagoon one.
Hahaha, don't apologize. You're 20, not 12 hahaha... It's an FC, no big deal. What I mean in that other post was that anyone can welcome anyone, even if it's not official or whatever, It's just that if I'm not online, they just get added to the member list later. That's all.

[OminousG]

Hidden Beach Recordings. They take jazz and fuse it with HipHop. Unlike anything you have ever heard. Each of the members are also are very big in the urban jazz scene. Preview soundclips at their sight.

damn metal...you are my new favorite person!

[Milkshake]

He's every jazz lover/forum posters' dream come true.

[metalsoup111]

@huey and MH: I do my damnedest to get great music out there by spreading the word and letting people know about it. The way I see it is like this: Today's pop music is like candy. Candy is good and people like it. Candy is okay every now and then, but it doesn't provide any real nourishment. We need substance that candy doesn't/can't provide. Jazz, classical, and metal, among others, provides that needed substance. It demands you sit back and think.

You listen and can't help but feel the emotion, the whole hearted sincerity, the honesty with which the music was composed and performed. It's deeper than what is just seen on the surface, unlike pop music. People literally gave there lives for this music because it was all they had. I'm saddened that America is culturally anemic. We've forgotten what is truly great and accepted mediocrity in its place.

But this also has a plus side. Because we're culturally anemic, it's very easy to amass a respectable collection of some of the most amazing and mind blowing music for pennies on the dollar. For what you'd expect to pay for one CD of some modern prepackaged crap, you can get up to 5 CD's of pure awesome. Such is life, I guess...

[huey06]

Oh my... There are many many things I would do just to have you as a personal friend of mine.

[OminousG]

I'm feelin' you on that one too, Metal. Some of music's quality has indeed degraded over time. This makes me extremely indignant. I only enjoy REAL MUSIC! Not that over processed noise you hear now a days on the mainstream. What ever happened to the days when music told you stories, took you places, & reminded you of where you've been?

[Aidan]

nice, man, I gotta remember to listen to all the songs posted in here!
I should join the metal group too, I wanna get more metal music. all i have right now are a few metallica songs, some dragonforce, plus some Japanese metal from Bleach and death note.

[Milkshake]

Dragonforce is a very cool band, although I much prefer if they were instrumental, but that's just me. By the way, nice post, blkorgasm.
The one who added the tags, reveal yourself, my random curiosity is distracting me.
Also, I've added a list of recommended jazz artists (partly thanks to metalsoup111) on the first post just in case one decides to go on a random song hunt.

[metalsoup111]

^^Dragonforce gets on my nerves. There is just something about them that doesn't grab me. Badass technical skill, but not much musicality IMO.

@blkorgasm: Marcus Miller rules! My favorite slapper. And here's a couple of my favorites...

Power of Soul - Jimi Hendrix arrangement by Marcus Miller

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mqpxQ1Xf2us

^^About the last 3rd of the video is nothing, so when it sounds like the song is over, it is...

Moonlight Sonata - Ludwig Van Beethoven arrangement by Marcus Miller

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhbi8GSsqrU

Teen Town - Jaco Pastorius arrangement by Marcus Miller

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4y_KzTUwpwU

@Aiden: Metal is just as nuts and just as expansive a genre as jazz.

[Aidan]

I'm uploading some songs I made in garageband on my mac to, kind of ironically, garageband.com. Let me know what you guys think:
http://www.garageband.com/song?|pe1|S8LTM0LdsaSgYlK2amw

[huey06]

cool, ill check it out when you post it.

update: i decided to wait until after our 2nd concert to have my director burn the cd for me so i can just get all of our songs on a cd. unfortunately it will just be our band and nothing from the other 4 :S the songs we are playing for this concert are: Summer Samba So Nice, Chelsea Bridges, and Red Phantom Rides Again. they are really cool songs. but not too technical because we only had like 4 or 5 rehersals to work them up because of scheduling issues. we go on thanksgiving break right before our concert so we wont have a chance to meet before our concert which kinda scared me :S

[Aidan]

nice. I'm uploading some more songs to that same account, but they're more experimental/electronica sort of thing (since I don't have any instruments here with me)

[huey06]

just outta curosity aidan, do you know any music composition theory or do you just mess around with stuff until it sounds good?

[Milkshake]

I couldn't agree with you all more. Marcus Miller is awesome. And Aidan, I like what you uploaded, keep it up, haha.

[Aidan]

@huey, I only know very basic music theory, I pretty much just improv something then fix it. I'm not very good at making harmonies, i'm gonna play around with that until I'm a bit more comfortable. also, garageband annoys me because it's hard to do note-by-note dynamics. you have to edit the whole track, and if you move sections around, everything gets off. I'll upload some "guitar" sounding stuff I'm working on. for these last few ones I just add the notes one by one manually, instead of playing an instrument... the computer keyboard doesn't have a good enough response to let me play with good rythm.

[huey06]

have you tried to download finale or guitarpro? they are pretty good programs to write music on.

i piddle around with writing stuff too with basic theory knowledge. i just kinda start with a basic chord progression and go from there.

[marszczyn]

Can I join?

i piddle around with writing stuff too with basic theory knowledge. i just kinda start with a basic chord progression and go from there.

I have guitarpro but I neither know how to use that nor play a real guitar...

Can I join?
I don't see why not, welcome. So you got any favourite artist?

[marszczyn]

Louis Armstrong.

[Milkshake]

Excellent choice. He's awesome. I especially love "Hello Dolly".

[marszczyn]

To be honest, I'm a newbie jazz fan, so I'm not expert like you, but I want to know about jazz more, cause I like jazz style music.

[Milkshake]

You misunderstand, marszczyn. I'm no jazz expert, I simply love jazz and that's about it. I am just the thread starter, don't be fooled by the title "owner", I am just trying to gather the jazz fans together since I can hardly find any.

Anyway, I figure I'd post the 6th round, can't let metalsoup do everything now. Also, anyone else can post the jazz rounds too, just make sure to number them right.

[marszczyn]

I'm satisfied that no one gonna me bash, if I make mistake, cause I have been interested in jazz since only few weeks.

[metalsoup111]

@MH: I can dig it...

[Milkshake]

I'd be glad to have you post round seven though.

[huey06]

I have guitarpro but I neither know how to use that nor play a real guitar...

its actually not that bad of a program to learn how to use. oddly enough it can have nothing to do with a guitar since it has a wide variety of instruments you can plug in. i play VERY little guitar but i was just using it for composition purposes.

i seldom put guitar in it at all lol the only thing about it is that is all based on the guitar so you can only go as high or low as a guitar will let you. i usually make all my instruments based off the 7 string guitar so i have more variety.

p.s. We got new banner(s).

Edit: Page 9 has been achieved...

Ack, I didn't expect someone to reply so quickly... A slight setback, but no worries, I'll try getting round 9 ASAP.

Heh, unless I pick something from a garage band, it would be impossible to pick a "bad" Jazz song.

Well, it wasn't a walk in the park since I had to check back to see to that I don't post a song that was already in the thread, but hey, sharing these is worth way more than that.

[metalsoup111]

In the jazz band at my school, we actually read through the TANK! chart once. It's didn't make it to the big show, though...

[Milkshake]

Fuck, that's cool. Shame it never made the show.

edit: We have a few more new FC banners now.

[metalsoup111]

It was really hard, in a good way. The entire band was being pushed, especially the trumpets. An all around great chart...

[Milkshake]

This (http://danbooru.donmai.us/post/show/74080/-3-cheese-churuya-flash-food-jazz-nyoro-n-smoked_c) is quite an amusing flash animation... Got a nice jazz tune, thought I'd share.

Song's said to be "Smooth Ride 'Cross The Longway Bridge"... Can't find any info on that... Anyone who sees this please help. It would be greatly appreciated.

Also, all this inactivity is quite depressing... Is Jazz really that dead?

[OminousG]

naw man, jazz aint dead... we just have few members as of yet...:idea:

btw, it is shocking and once educated, you may find it horrifying to know we havent posted anything on Victor Wooten (bassist) or his brother Regi Wooten guitarist. trust me, you'll thank me later for not using a spoiler.

By the way, if you haven't noticed, we have a few new banners.

[OminousG]

yea i have... i'm thinking of doing an animated banner... just havent found the art work..

btw, We also gotta add Stanley Clarke...

Yeah. She's been featured in bass magazines and I'd looked her up on youtube before. Oh, and Adam Nitti is white. That dude does 6-string bass sweeps, as in guitar-like sweeps. Crazy dude...

[metalsoup111]

I believe music, as an artform, should convey some kind of emotion from the performers, the composer, and from the atmosphere created by the music itself. Almost all free jazz I've listened to seems to only convey annoyance. But, hey, the musicians and fans find beauty out of atonal chaos so whatever works, I guess...

What the fuck.

I really like the Chapman Stick one though, very impressive. Four basses at once was no joke either.

Stanley Jordan is jazz fusion guitarist that has been blowing my mind lately. His guitar is uniquely tuned for his strictly pickless two-hand tapping technique...

Yes, I am so glad this FC exists, jazz is amazing. Consider me a member ^^

I wasn't really into jazz until a few years ago, but now I'm listening to whatever I can. I recently attended the Litchfield Jazz Festival down in Kent, CT, if any of you have ever heard of it.

Holy shit, I thought this fc was deleted. Welcome, welcome. Grab a banner if you like.

^^Late as shit, but Victor Wooten is the slap bass god. That said, Marcus Miller, though not as technically proficient as Victor, is my favorite slapper. He's got a feel and groove that is unmatched, imo.


The Dave Weckl Band is insane. Check 'em out...
