See, if I wasn't on a tablet I wouldn't have ordered an album by the wrong Camille.  FFS.

Edit: 'Body percussion' and 'throat singing'.

Listen to Lorenzo

It's amusing me slightly more each time I click on it. 

Body percussion and throat singing album has arrived.  Wish me luck.

So, I'm not in love with the song, but between 6:10 and 6:30 she does some kind of dual and tri-tone self-harmonized sung/throatwhistle/godknowshowshedoesit thing that was new to me :-o

Not noticed this thread before, for some reason...

I don't listen to much jazz at home, but it's something I'll actively seek out live.  For the most part it only works for me if I'm there I think, as I find it easier to feel how the music's evolving.

That said, I do have a few records at home, mainly the predictable ones, and yes, Kind of Blue is certainly in there.  Probably most listened to though is the pianist Zoe Rahman for reasons that are probably exclusive to me...  Namely: my in-laws are Bengali and listen to a lot of bengali music.  If I'm honest I used to struggle a lot with the Bengali stuff, partly because I couldn't understand the words (I'm one of those people who likes lyrics), but also because I couldn't really understand the music itself.  Up until I came across some of Rahman's stuff - in a number of her records she ties together the Bengali stuff, with classical and jazz.  (Including specific covers of Bengali songs).  Not only do I enjoy her music in its own right, but I quickly found that it allowed me to wrap my head around the original Bengali records much better, and I can finally appreciate their beauty as well. 

Anyway, here's an example...

Like a lot of people I wouldn't say I like jazz. But I guess that would be because I have a perception of it that may not be true. Closest I've got to buying jazz is Gregory Porter and that is just because he has an amazing voice.

I do enjoy that soft jazz you hear in bars and it really does make the night, having a few drinks chatting etc.

But I've started some of the videos and realised I can't actually focus on the music for more than a few minutes before thinking I should be doing something else with my time.

Enjoying Gregory Porter's Liquid Spirit.

Was at Scott's Jazz club on Friday night. (the local to me one!!). https://www.scottsjazzclub.com/

Brazilian guy doing a samba/jazz fusion thing. Right out of the gate he was doing that vocalisation thing which gets old very quick......But... Very odd and very good. Adriano Trindade. Worth a look if you fancy something different.

Last night I took the time to sit down and "actively" listen to Bitches Brew for the first time in years. It has improved with age - it's hard to think about the impact this must have had when it first appeared. That sound is very much part of the background of many things now it is easy to take for granted. Was not as challenging as I remembered - though it gets a bit heavy in the last 2 tracks, particularly Sanctuary.

That Head Hunters album is a classic all right

Sketches of Spain tonight.

When I first heard this many years ago I felt it was a bit of a dirge.

Miles' wife was a dancer and when they were in Spain she hauled him along to a Flamenco Dance event - he promptly went out and bought every flamenco album he could get and then created this.

It's very solemn but also it's a classy piece of work. Starting to appreciate it.

Badbadnotgood again but, this track is sublime. The strings at the end bewitch me every time
