Diz 'N Bird At Carnegie Hall by Charlie Parker & Dizzy Gillespie
the performance of Ko-Ko was pretty groundbreaking at the time. you've heard a lot of avant garde stuff like this since, but not prior. charlie parker went from being a nobody to being the guy everyone wanted to play with after this hit.
Dysnomia by Dawn Of Midi
these cats are wrestling more with arranging rhythms and polyrhythms. don't hold your breathe for melodic sax or atonal keys to stack up. pretty cool mix though from a promising young trio.

The Many Sides Of Toshiko by Toshiko Akiyoshi
minimalist chick from before my time. i don't remember how i stumbled across this. still not sure that it's as jazz as it gets labeled, but it's here, and you can listen 😁
looking for pop that feels like jazz. or rather, something simultaneously bearing resemblance to the beatles, mingus and messiaen. it would be nice if it had trumpet/sax/clarinets. it would be nice if there were drums. string sections can be legit or something synthesized or maybe aren't absolutely necessary. if singer sounds like he/she went through the wash a couple times, that's not what i'm looking for. actually, that might make it exactly what i'm looking for. i'm looking for something a little brash. _________________ follow me on the bandcamp.
Thundercat's Apocalypse springs to mind. Also, try Neneh Cherry & The Thing's The Cherry Thing. _________________ 2021 in full effect. Come drop me some recs. Y'all know what I like.
Oh yeah, try late-'70s George Duke and Erykah Badu's Mama's Gun, too. _________________ 2021 in full effect. Come drop me some recs. Y'all know what I like.
Thanks for the jazz guys! A few in there I haven't heard yet, and the ones I do know range from love to all-time fav. (Good call on Dawn of Midi btw craola. One of my favorites of 2013, not enough people heard that one)

I second these. Saw both Thundercat and The Thing (separately) these past two weeks; both great, though Gustaffson didn't communicate worth a damn with James Ulmer or even his own rhythm section when improvising.
