Dave H.
Revolutionary relativist
I decided to put a playlist together of the kind of jazz tracks that should be played in the hazy, wee small hours in a bar in a Raymond Chandler novel. To get the mood, I even called the playlist ‘Jazz. At 4am. With whiskey. And a dame who died tragically in this no good town’.
The thing is, I know nothing about jazz. I’m going entirely by ear, suggestions from Tidal/Roon, and occasionally by titles.
But I figure the pfm collective knows loads of jazz. So, any recommendations? Automated Tidal etc suggestions are all well and good, but they can miss the mark/leave out great stuff.
The playlist so far is as follows, hopefully the idea’s fairly obvious to anyone who knows this kind of thing.
Any thoughts?
Round Midnight - Miles Davis (Mono version)
Blue in Green - Miles Davis
Alone Together - Kenny Dorham
Harlem Nocturne - Illinois Jacquet
Idle Moments - Grant Green
Conciliation - Yazz Ahmed
Don’t Explain - Dexter Gordon
Where Are You? - Sonny Rollins
Goodbye Pork Pie Hat - Charles Mingus
Générique - Miles Davis
My Man’s Gone Now - Bill Evans Trio
Round Midnight - Thelonious Monk
