I'm not here! And I am not from PA. I don't even know what a PA is. Right, don't believe a word I'm saying, except this: I want to find me some cool jazz from the 60s and some modern artists maybe, preferably stuff with not too much melody and lots of atmosphere. Any ideas? |

Maybe "Lawrence of Newark" by Larry Young, its like the low-fi version of Santana's Caravanserai. John McLaughlin's "Devotion" is very different for him, trippy groove based psychedelia.

For something newer you might want to try Robotobibok, in the nu jazz section on aisle four just past the frozen dinners. They have a modernized approach to some of that semi avant-garde psychedelic jazz jam sort of thing.

Welcome Karl! ;-) First you give us some proper hints, then we elaborate on that. |

Damn, my identity has been revealed already, that little girl must have given me away.  Well, I like the psychedelic 'space' fusion era (or the semi avant-garde psychedelic jazz jam sort of thing as John has it): Davis, Hancock, early Report and (from Europe) Annexus Quam, Embryo, Dzyan, Nucleus, Soft Machine... But my Jazz knowledge is minimal. I have some Coltrane, Sun Ra, 60s Davis, some World Fusion but that's it. I barely have anything post 80s. |

| Thats what I thought you meant, which reminds me, "Invitation to Openess" by Les McCann |

Try Larry Coryell - "Spaces". It came out in '68 or '69 i think, and it's great early fusion with that "60s sound" for more modern stuff, try Steve Jenkins - "mad science" from 2004 ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/MysticBoogy" rel="nofollow - My Last.fm |

Yes. I certainly think that Spaces of Larry Coryell is a good example. This album might indeed have diversity. I will recommend Ananda Shankar as a subjective opinion. |

Thanks a lot for this, looks like I'll have to make me a list. I also found a couple of interesting ideas in the TOP 2010 thread somewhere else in the forum. |

| That "Electric Byrd" by Donald Byrd thats on the front page right now is another one you would probably like too. |

I know you like Nu-Jazz Karl, do you know Nils Petter Molvaer, Eivind Aarset and Pink Freud? |

I've got another nu one for you, check out Mikrokolktyw, they are on the front page now. By the way, with Slava here we could finally hold our first reunion of the Guy Manning fan club  We have a very thorough self-promoter here at JMA that I like to call 'Jazz' Manning, no messing around for him, he's all business

Hmmm... JAZZ METAL (not a JMA genre... And in PA included in Prog Metal category) is a good genre with a great Jazz Rock/ Death Metal (and other genres in the veins): CYNIC. See this band at: http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=1073" rel="nofollow - http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=1073 -------------   |

BTW, Mikrokolektyw is right half of Robotobibok (or more current their re-incarnation)

| Nice, I hear the similarities. Its that avoidance of cliche melody that I think Karl will find welcome in both groups. |

Do I ? I didn't know Nor do I know any of the artists you mention  Will need to check! |

Well actually, that's a genre that doesn't work for me generally. It's a bit too much focus on soloing/virtuosity and I miss the interplay of real jazz. TIP: Keep jazz-metal out of JMA  |

Jazz Manning? Guy Messing? I'm getting confused Right guys. This gives me something to chew on. I will have a metal kick-off month in July and I'll try to find a couple of these artist by that time  |

Both these two concert recordings are uploaded on full on youTube. I recommend checking out these albums. EDIT: here's another nice one |

Oh yes, this sounds like what I was looking for  |

In that case I know you better than yourself - you do like nu-jazz, even if you didn't know it  I highly recommend you the "Sonic Codex" album by Eivind Aarset. |

And some Pink Freud; less atmosphere and more interplay & fun: |

Hmm, that sounds just a bit like Cinematic Orchestra, of which my wife is quite a fan. Are you telling me you know my wife that well too?  |

I could recommend nu-jazz and fusion all day. Maybe try Magnus Ostrom, Gilgamesh, Sloche, and Deus Ex Machina's Cinque album if you don't mind latin vocals.

Been enjoying these two immensely lately! Now on to the modern artist suggested above. |

| Glad you liked them. Do you know the offshoot albums from Herbie's Sextet such as Eddie Henderson's 'Realizations'. |

Yes, got the Henderson CD with his first two albums. Brilliant stuff! Got a few more offshoots, Logan made me a list once |

| There's a review on the top of the front page, a new album called "Duo" that you may be interested in. |
