Any modern jazz you'd recommend? I'm really into Yussef Dayes, Makaya McCraven and the likes

I am the wrong person to ask for, "modern jazz." 1945 - 1978 is where I spend most of my time listening. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

I haven't listened to Tristano in a while. I used to have a CD of his when I was teenager (the one where he overdubbed himself). His approach is interesting in that you shouldn't ever play licks but just do pure improvisation. Super hard to do. I was surprised that Keith doesn't care for Art Tatum much. But, I can see his point: sometimes I have felt that way although I generally like Tatum.

If you can find them, Tristano's albums, "The New Tristano" and "New York Improvisations AKA Manhattan Studio" are remarkable and definitely worth revisiting now that you are older.

'The New Tristano' is the one I had. (It was released with another album on the same CD). I think I lost it though. (Most of my CDs are in heavy boxes – all that money spent. If I had known streaming would come around, I would''ve saved a lot of money. I even though my records away since I was without a record player. That said, lots of stuff is still not streaming...) I haven't listened to the New York one. Yeah, my ear is a lot better now than it was as a kid especially in terms of harmony, so I'll probably pick up more things now.

A Love's Supreme is such an amazing album. If you want to check out some more Coltrane, definitely check out my favorite Coltrane album, Blue Trane. The title track is perfection. You may also enjoy, Lush Life, Soultrane and Settin' the Pace - hope you find some music that speaks to you!

What do you think of Sun Ra? I know you don’t have many plays of him so I guess you’re not really a fan. Just wondering if it’s that you haven’t heard much from him or if you have heard him and realized you didn’t care for his music.

I am definitely a fan of Sun Ra and went through a huge listening phase about 10 years ago. His Chicago years and New York years (1945 - 1968) are what I appreciate the most. I don't listen to as much avant-garde and free jazz as I used to but, these days, I tend to gravitate towards hard bop, Bebop, and solo piano that is mostly pre-1968. But thanks for reminding me of him, definitely worth revisiting.

I hope you have fun and discover some great jazz! Here are a few albums I'd suggest you may not have come across: 1. Miles Davis - Sorcerer, Nefertiti, In A Silent Way (3 albums) - the 3 albums show the progression of Miles sound with his second classic Quintet. 2. Charles Mingus - Epitaph - I'd argue it's the most important jazz composition of the last 100 years. The magnum opus of Charles Mingus. The score is 500 pages in length and wasn't found until after his death. It requires 30 musicians to perform, but the results are stunning. 3. John Coltrane and Friends - Sideman Trane's Blue Note Sessions - Paul Chambers, Sonny Clark and Johnny Griffin at their height alongside Coltrane 4. Keith Jarret - Hamburg '72 - Charlie Haden and Paul Motian alongside Jarrett in '72 - the trio is remarkable on this recording 5. Johnny Griffin - A Blowing Session - Featuring Hank Mobley and John Coltrane 6. Thelonious Monk - Monk. There are so many, I hope those are a few you haven't heard.

The alto sax is such a great instrument. Hope you enjoy learning to play! A couple phenomenal alto sax players to check out - Sonny Stitt and Cannonball Adderley if you haven't already. Coltrane and Charlie Parker were the alto sax grand masters but Stitt and Cannonball are amazing in their own right as well.

yeah, Lalene catches me at the first chord. (If you know about jazz sounds - basically, I'm a sucker for major 7 lydian-ish stuff.) And, the gospel feeling carries me all the way through. He plays very interesting things for the whole song. It's totally great. Listening to it now, I just figured out the quote at around 7:44: it's part of 'Mrs Robinson' by Simon & Garfunkel, haha. It was bothering me that I couldn't think of it....

"Behind the Yashmak" by Esbjörn Svensson Trio is my favorite, impressive theme, although there are many more that I like a lot. I discovered them at the San Javier Jazz Festival, in Murcia, when I heard them there for the first time it was quite a discovery, I adore them...:) saludos desde Murcia, España
