And I have one foot in either camp. Hardcore avant-garde jazz that&#8217;s dissonant and meandering, lacking a discernible rhythm or melody, tends to piss me off after a couple of minutes. I like my jazz to have recognizable moments of true musicality, something for my brain to latch onto. I guess you could say that I like my jazz to be smooth&#8211; but not slip-in-your-own-vomit smooth. It has to have a bit of an edge, a definite groove.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This set is classic&#8211; yet somewhat obscure&#8211; pure jazz&#8230; just the way I like it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"935\" height=\"731\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.nielskunze.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Screen-Shot-2019-03-15-at-8.32.20-AM.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5392\" srcset=\"http:\/\/blog.nielskunze.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Screen-Shot-2019-03-15-at-8.32.20-AM.png 935w, http:\/\/blog.nielskunze.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Screen-Shot-2019-03-15-at-8.32.20-AM-300x235.png 300w, http:\/\/blog.nielskunze.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Screen-Shot-2019-03-15-at-8.32.20-AM-768x600.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 935px) 100vw, 935px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Horned Prog 10-A On the Jazz\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/kglaWhGWfj8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption>Horned Prog 10-A<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tracks:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Uskaw -FEZ<\/li><li>Hey Boys Try Harder -Jaan Kuman Instrumental Ensemble<\/li><li>Hulk -Archie Whitewater<\/li><li>Cross Country -Archie Whitewater<\/li><li>A New Way -Eela Craig<\/li><li>Pass the Plate -The Crusaders<\/li><li>Caprice -Jaan Kuman Instrumental Ensemble<\/li><li>The City -Mark Almond<\/li><li>Terminus -Jaan Kuman Instrumental Ensemble<\/li><li>Faidadiesis -Bella Band<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Horned Prog 10-B On the Jazz\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/xIf-IE6v9NQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption>Horned Prog 10-B<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tracks:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Latin Dippy Doo -Flight<\/li><li>Take Your Clothes Off When You Dance -Ed Palermo Big Band<\/li><li>I Met a Man -Head<\/li><li>Song for the Bearded Lady -Nucleus<\/li><li>G.B.H. -Head<\/li><li>Contrasts -Jaan Kuman Instrumental Ensemble<\/li><li>Loneliness Is Just a Word -Chicago<\/li><li>Aire -Chicago<\/li><li>Flying South in Winter -Tonton Macoute<\/li><li>Happy &#8216;Cause I&#8217;m Going Home -Chicago<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Go to <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.nielskunze.com\/?p=5387\">Set 9: On the Rocks<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Jaan Kuman Instrumental Ensemble, represented by the bald guy with the trumpet in the album collage, is one of those eastern bloc recordings that doesn&#8217;t have a bad minute on it.
