i love th jazz, currently spinning Rahsaan Roland Kirk's 'The Inflated Tear' and Alice Coltrane's 'Ptah The El Daoud'. i mainly gravitate towards th freer forms, but i love all sorts of jazz

check out norweigen band Supersilent who i've been digging lately, they're a combination of minimalistic noise, electronic, and free jazz. awesome stuff

die, diana krall


yeah, some of th naked city stuff is pretty interesting. i have them all but haven't really had a proper listen. i am a big John Zorn fan though

if you like that sort of fusion jazz you should hear this italian band Zu, they mix freeform jazz with hardcore- although theyre nowhere near as crazy

Are you a fan of:

St Germaine
Jazzanova
Groove Armada
Theivery Corporation

Not traditional jazz, but its great electronic jazz. I figured you might like some of those since you're a Massive Attack fan.

Hey man I saw them when I was in Germany last July! Man, they were weird, but i appreciated it...it was hard to get into, but once I did you just feel the groove so hard!
