I'm looking for stuff like this:


Closing Time by Tom Waits


I'm talking music that sounds like it's being played on an old piano at the end of the night at some whiskey bar in the city. Like a chill, sort of jazzy, sorry of bluesy vibe

Well damn that is tough. It's a surprisingly unique sound. The closest I can think is obvious stuff like this


Sail Away by Randy Newman
(Especially "God's Song")


Rickie Lee Jones by Rickie Lee Jones
(Especially the more slow drowsy jazzy cuts, not so much the upbeat pop tracks that inhabit it. )


Freakin' At The Freakers Ball by Shel Silverstein

This mostly is just maniacal brillient piano rock. Not too similar at all. But it tends to remind
me of later 80s waits. It's really mindblowing my crazy, funny and musically engaging, full of INSANE personality. Kinda like listening to the Joker when he's tipsy playing his heart's content.


Resurrection Of The Bayou Maharajah by James Booker

This is pretty straight up soul/r&b/New Orleans blues. But when he slows it down on these cuts its haunting and chill af blues/jazz stuff. Legendary record which I think you'll love. Especially you gotta gotta gotta hear "St. James Infirmary"... O.M.F.G. it's a mesmerizing take.

Also there is a stellar piano blues album called "7936 South Rhodes" by Eddie Boyd & Peter Green which I've been enraptured by lately that I've yet to have added to our database. It's gorgeous, of course it is it has Peter Green as well as some beautiful, piano-based, chill playing.

Otherwise I mean you can always get into the more slowed down cuts by Allen toussaintt, Otis Spann, Professor Longhair, Dr. John and the like. And I hate to say it but Norah Jones' debut features a (very polished, slick) rendition of that lonesome jazzy songwriter style found on Waits' first 2 albums. I don't actually hate to say it cuz it's true and actually an excellent album.

Again for the life of me I was having a hard time nailing down a really perfect rec for this one. Sorry for the long ass delay.

Can anyone reccomend me some bad jazz?

I realize I've only ever left good ratings for jazz albums, so I want a better understanding of what I'm enjoying

Can't believe I missed this, thanks Mercury! I figured this would be difficult to nail down haha.

Sail Away is actually a great thought, that's one of, if not my favorite, Randy Newman album, similar feel. I'll be sure to check out the others!

To add to the already great recs from Mercury, I think this fits the mood you're looking for.

Classic weird:


Trout Mask Replica by Captain Beefheart and His Magic Band


Uncle Meat by The Mothers of Invention


The Parable Of Arable Land by The Red Crayola


Meat Puppets II by Meat Puppets

For more recent weird, secretdad's overall has some delicious oddities. For example:


The Return Of Fenn O'Berg by Fennesz, O'Rourke & Rehberg


Wild Why by Wobbly


Slipping Control by Ben Vida
