dreamy, hazy jazz

So precise yet so laid back in his movement. So nonchalant yet so intentional and commanding in the phrasing. That hazy yet intimate timbre, such a sublime comforting presence.

Most romantic piece of music I know about.
I like crazy free jazz fireworks but also LOVE that sort of dreamy, hazy jazz. would love to get recommendations of albums (by miles or anyone else) that are primarily that sound. I have some Stan Getz that come close but have a few upbeat numbers that break the mood.
sounds like a thread to me
i also like jazz-funk, but this is the thread for dreamy, hazy jazz

thanks for starting the thread, sufi. I was originally thinking of more traditional jazz but these guys could certainly be included...

 

woops

is not like other people
definitely the best jazz ever made in ethiopia which boils down to the same thing

bandz ahoy
The start of that Miles tune reminds me of


I'm currently watching the PBS documentary (dir. ken burns) on the history of jazz. Only got up to Duke Ellington, Louis Armstrong, etc. so not sure how it evolved from that maniacally fast, toe-tapping music to become this slow, meditative stuff. But I can't wait to find out!

Out of the smoky noir mystique and into the open fields of pychotropic bonanza.

The Miles ones are more like magic realism. Day dreaming about mystical beautiful women from another land.

The Don Cherry is psychedelic dreaming. Surreallism. Shapeless and free. The women are drawn by Picasso.
