if you liked the headhunters record you would also like miles' "on the corner". bitches brew is a lot lot lot different from headhunters.

it's kind of like jazz-rock, can be very frantic/erratic. you might like bitches brew, but it is nothing like headhunters, which I would consider more jazz-funk.

Excellent point. I'm a relative jazz newbie, I just know that what I've heard, I've liked. I can completely appreciate an album being a much better representation than a specific track. Part of my problem with music over the past decade is that most "albums" feel entirely too disjointed and it's really just a haphazard collection of singles than a true album. I'll take the next few days with the recommended albums and listen from start to finish at work. Thanks to everyone for the replies.

Not sure what Hancock he suggested, but if was the Headhunters-era stuff, be sure to check out both Bobby Hutcherson (Oblique and Happenings) and Andrew Hill (Judgement). All great CDs that have that same 1960's sound but with vibes to compliment all the great piano work.

turnipmoster's reply is all you need for Miles but I would add this:
When I first started getting into jazz, an easy way I found to get into new stuff was to follow the artists that appeared on albums I really dug. Find some stuff where one of the non-leaders were now the leader and see if I liked it too. It worked a lot of the time. And since the groups were so incestuous and oftentimes who got the top billing was based on contracts, you could even find albums with nearly all the same guys on it. Take Kind of Blue as an example. If you looked for other stuff with those guys, you would end up with Bill Evans, Everybody Digs Bill Evans Cannonball Adderly, Something Else John Coltrane, Love Supreme All fantastic albums in their own right. Look at stuff with the other players on those (Philly Joe Jones, Elvin Jones, McCoy Tyner, Paul Chambers, etc..) and the circle expands even more (Grant Green's Matador, which features Tyner and E.Jones, for example) KJS |
