  2. Screaming Horns

    in Recommendations

    Posted

    Welcome ninety!

    I think you need to define "screaming" a little more clearly. What you and I find to be "squeaky and annoying" might be completely different. Give us an example of something you like.

    Do you mean fast, busy playing, like bebop? Dizzy Gillespie, Clifford Brown, Fats Navarro.

    Or do you mean loud, flashy high note playing? Arturo Sandoval, Cat Anderson (with Duke Ellington's band), Maynard Ferguson, Jon Faddis.

    Or do you mean big band? The above names plus Bill Chase (Woody Herman band of the 60s), Buddy Rich big band, Stan Kenton big band, Maynard Ferguson big band.

    If you're thinking pop music, maybe Tower of Power, Earth, Wind and Fire, James Brown, Chase (a group from the 70s that put out some nice recordings- featured a lot of trumpet)

    My only advice to you is to try and vary your listening- many of the recommendations you'll get here will be music that has more content than just high, loud and fast playing. Listen to whatever you enjoy- that's the most important thing- but try to expand your tastes and sample as many types of jazz that you can. I always suggest Miles Davis as an important artist, not only because of his playing, but because of the great players he had in his groups. I suggest you keep coming here for suggestions- you will get some great advice from the members of this board! :)

    EDIT: Didn't Prince's horn section (I think they called themselves the "Hornheads") do a recording? There was also a recording of Steely Dan tunes (as instrumentals) by what seemed to be a bunch of LA studio players who called themselves the Hoops McCann band.

    sorry for being vague, well all I can think of is Charles Minguss the black saint album where parts of it has a distinct sax sound where he holds a note for a long time screaming it out loudly. I really dont know how to explain it!

  4. Looking for the name of a certain FLUTE

    I listened to the song so flute by st germain and I absolutely loved the flute sound. It sounds very middle eastern. Im pretty sure its not a ney flute. It has a very harsh sound to it where you can even hear the person blowing almost like if they had no more breath left. Its hard to explain. Would anyone know what kind of flute this is and what are some artists that use it, its origins etc?

  8. Classical Music

    I'm new to classical music also...I've loved Gorecki's 3rd symphony mainly the music and not the woman singing. Also I really love adagio for strings from Barber. I really enjoyed Gavin Bryars farewell to philosophy. Arvo Parts-tabla rasura is amazing aswell these are the perfect classical that fits my taste. I don't seem to like any other types of classical music except for the type that is very melancholic and dark that starts off slow and goes into a crescendo just like what I've mentioned. I dont want something too symphonic or orchestral with crazy time changes every 2 seconds. Just something that flows very well. Also if anyone knows the post/rock groups A SILVER MT ZION and RACHEL's they are 2 bands that play a sort of contemporary chamber music of their own if anyone has heard any which I mentioned can you recommend me something melancholic and moving that fits my liking??

  9. Middle Eastern World Music

    Ive recently discovered middle eastern music with Peter Gabriels album called Passion. I really like some of the tracks with the slow percussion work and the turkish flute. Im not too familiar with middle eastern music a lot of what I heard from it I did not like and I thought it was too new agey. Are their any really good artists around making some moody middle eastern music which is 100% instrumental? start me off!

  10. Looking for specific organ playing!

    If anyone has heard Jack Mc Duffs record called screamin it has some really nice slow bluesy songs where the organ sounds very different more twangy if thats possible. Anyways, can you recommend an artist or record where the songs are very slow and bluesy and the organ is the main instrument being played throughout?

    can anyone recommend some spooky film noir jazz? either artists albums or soundtracks that you know of. Im talking along the lines of the Twin Peaks soundtrack, if anyone has heard it. Basically the kind of late night smokey downtempo obscure jazz!
