My friend recently asked me to give them a crash course in listening to jazz, where do I start?
I'm a huge jazz enthusiast/musician and I feel overwhelmed with the prospect of a good introductory mix. My friend doesn't listen to music all that much and jazz is a pretty cerebral art form. Where can I start with "simple" jazz where years of musical themes aren't going over her head?
Thanks!
I always start with Miles Davis Kind of Blue and a joint...
*Edit* How is Kind of Blue a complex album? It is the epitome of understatement! I'd say out of any proper jazz album, Kind of Blue, is the one that you would find people who don't like 'jazz' will have in their collection, why? Because it is so easy to listen to, easy to follow, melodic, and doesn't sacrifice any of the artistic qualities of jazz. I think the modal nature makes it easy for beginner ears - it sticks to a sound, and goes with it... Cover to cover, there is nothing there that is hard to listen to, odd, out of place... but ... jazzy hell yes. Blue in Green, Flamenco Sketches, So What, All Blues, Freddie Freeloader, are all tunes that most people would have heard anyways...
There is a reason it is the most popular album in jazz history, besides the fact that it turned jazz on its head...its because it is that GOOD! Any music critic worth their salt would recommend either Kind of Blue or Time Out by Dave Brubeck as a record to start listening to jazz... maybe Giant Steps by Trane...but that ones tough for beginner ears to sink into...
