My dinner is bubbling away on the hob and "Cookin" with the Miles Davis quintet is on the CD player

Felt - Primative Painters (with Liz Fraser), on 6 Music now. Delicious.

Neutral Milk Hotel. No specific album, just been reccomended them so checking YouTube. I like so far. If you like Sufjan Stevens, Bon Iver etc they're worth a listen.

I never realised I was such a fan of jazz until very recently. Lot of catching up to do. Today is Project Mingus...

This track is blowing my mind right now:

I'm glad there's someone else on this forum who likes jazz. Try listening
to Stomp radio on the web (www.stompradion.com), Wednesday 10pm - 1am,
with host Nick Hoisier. Top class modern jazz and some re-recording of "standards".

I also find listening to classical music on R3 and Classic FM very relaxing.

Oho, you should have said, TLD could have given you a rendition of it last night, as her school choir is doing that song as part of their Xmas show

Nice bit of blues.

d. I've just seen your post. That was an incredible year for jazz: Brubeck's Time Out, Miles Davis's Kind Of Blue, Ornette Coleman's Shape Of Jazz To Come, Mingus's Mingus Ah Um (from which your track) all released in 1959. Have you got all of these? They are all still available. Kind Of Blue has never been out of print.

I listen to all sorts of music and I came to this lot late as collections but I'm really glad I did!

Cheers!

Never Too Much nby Luthewr Vandross.

God I'm so pissed.

So there hyou go.

Menhuin playing the Tchaikovsky recorded in 1949. So different to current playing - v. exciting because you have the feeling it's all going to go horribly wrong. Not like a modern "performance" that's perfect, after god knows how many takes.

Liking jazz is very much a recent development for me. I mean, I've always been quite happy to listen to stuff from the easier end of the spectrum, but now I'm "discovering" stuff like John Coltrane and Charles Mingus.

I'll definitely give Stomp a go. Sounds interesting.

There's a ten-part series on the history of jazz that started on PBS on Saturday. Narrated by Wynton Marsalis, apparently. Haven't started watching it yet but I've got the first four parts recorded. Might be interesting.

I like Radio 3 very much, though there's too much singing for my taste.

Haven't got recordings of any of them (yet!) but have been listening to a lot of the stuff you mention at my desk at work via YouTube (and finding it does wonders for my mood). Mingus is the one who's really grabbed my attention so far.

Currently on the track done with Robert Smith, outright brilliant. "Without You"

the one with that woman from Evenesence is hauntingly brilliant too....

The trouble with Korn is THOSE HORRIBLE MASKS.

My daughter had a Korn doll and it was a really, really nasty thing.

Ewww.

But after your endorsement I shall try and listen to them again. Without video.

Ah, you are correct. Silly me. The three years of being unable to live in my house without ear plugs and a blindfold, has made all that stuff blend into one. But there was definitely a Korn dolly. And it was, definitely, a nasty nasty thing.

Whilst poking around YouTube for those Korn vids, I found one from their new album.

Korn does dubstep.

Sound unlikely? Sounds like it should be a complete car crash? Not in the slightest. Korn Ft. Skrillex - Get Up

The first two are brilliant. Her voice sounds wonderful with the band.
