I've been listening to Kind of Blue loads lately. Sketches aswell. But i want to hear more of his cool jazz stuff in the same vein as KoB, any reccomendations?

 

[magicbastarder]

try some cannonball adderley.

 

[MDR]

Ballads and Blues is lovely

 

[Unknown Convict]

for miles? you can't go far wrong with most of his 50s and 60s stuff, much 70s too. beware the 80s.

around the period you mention, try;
milestones
porgy and bess
seven steps to heaven

 

[magicbastarder]

check out in a silent way too.

 

[Thebeard]

Cheers lads, appreciated. Think Blue In Green is on of my favorite songs ever.

 

[La La]

[shitepipe]

[Lili Marlene]

my favs
In A Silent Way
Bitches Brew
Sketches Of Spain
On The Corner - too, although that's a little bit later on.

he's got a pretty daunting catalogue of which I've only skimmed.

would anyone recommend any of the 70s live LPs
Live Evil
Agharta
Pangaea
Dark Magus
Big Fun

or others?

 

[Thebeard]

Is in a silent way chilled out or is his mad stuff?

 

[magicbastarder]

it's chilled out.

If you're looking for his Cool stuff, there's a compilation called 'The Complete Birth of Cool', which is patchy, but it covers the time between playing with Parker and Gillespie and Kind of Blue.

the birth of cool and 'round about midnight are the best MD works in my opinion

i just picked up a copy of live evil (and bitches brew! $10 each!!!) yesterday as it happens. it was pretty good on first listen if you like that sort of thing. i'll let you know once i've listened to it properly. i also have agharta which is ok. i know that all of the above are on the kozmigroov a list which is a pretty good source for this sort of thing for me.
