For more textural jazz/fusion, a lot of Shawn Lane's work with Jonas Hellborg has a "wall of sound" quality similar to that of Sigur Ros.
I started an article for Duke Ellington. I went a bit overboard on the article portion, and it could really use more tropes in the examples section.
Shit. You weren't kidding when you said you went overboard on the article. It looks nice though. I'll have to see if I can help expand the trope section.
Been loving the hell out of the album Worlds by Aaron Golburg.
Though this track is kind of different than ever other track on the album. Mostly if the stuff is pretty chill, well at least by my standards.

Imagine Rakan applying Calling Your Attacks to doing paperwork.~Anarchy Rakan for the hell of it COMMISSION THIS BRIDGE!~EHKThat does sound like an album to check out.
For some reason, my mind turns to Ruben Gonzalez
's solo album. Even though it's technically Afro-Cuban rather than jazz. Where exactly is the dividing line between Afro-Cuban and jazz? Dizzy Gillespie
mixed the two quite well.
Question: I've been playing jazz for about a year, but I keep being told I'm missing a lot of essential albums. This is what I have:
- 20th century Masters-The Millennium Collection - B.B. King
- Most of the Brian Browne Trio's albums
- The Definitive Collection - Louis Armstrong
- Home - Mike Tremblay & Mark Ferguson
- Live in Samois: Tribute to Django Reinhardt - The Rosenberg Trio
- The Number 1 Jazz Vocal Album
- Pas de deux - Elise Letourneau & Harry Pickens
- Sunday at the Village Vanguard [Keepnews Collection] - Bill Evans Trio
- Swing That Music: A Tribute to Louis Armstrong - Canadian Brass
- Take The "A" Train: The Best of Duke Ellington
- Vancouver 1958 - Oscar Peterson Trio
- Verve Jazz Masters 38 - Django Reinhardt
- The Very Best of the Songbooks - Ella Fitzgerald
- 20th Century Masters-The Millennium Collection - Bo Diddley
- 30 Greatest Hits - Aretha Franklin
A lot of these are local artist albums. What albums do I absolutely need to get? I'm pretty sure the library will have copies, it's just that they have a really big collection, and it's a bit intimidating.

'It's gonna rain!'I just recently acquired Moth Nor Rust by Create (!). (Free download from the label, hooray.
) Free-jazz and experimental stuff isn't normally my cuppa, but this is quite good.
Herbie Hancock's The Piano is a darn fine album.

A cool little website. I think it could be a good way for people who just entered into jazz to discover more artists. Plus it looks damn cool.
You are standing in an open field west of a white house, with a boarded front door. There is a small mailbox here.

Noir jazz is my fix, man. Miles Davis is one of its pioneers, and that Ascenseur Pour L'Échafaud soundtrack is wicked.
