Wow, I'm very curious as to what yalls favorite jazz records and artists are! This has been one of my absolute favorite favorite genres since I was a kid, but unfortunately I never get to talk about it too much, since (a lot like DS) no one i really hang around listens to too much.
Some of my more well known favorite records are Eric Dolphy's "Out To Lunch," Cannonball Adderley's "Somethin' Else!," "Mingus Plays Piano," Brubeck's "Time Out," "Angel Song" by Kenny Wheeler, i could go on and on

I love old vocal jazz. Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan, that lot. Mostly female singers for some reason. I dig some of the more abstract jazz as well, but it's not something I feel like listening to very often.

I like jazz, but I still have a very entry-level experience with it. I prefer the more melodic relaxing stuff. Miles Davis - Kind of Blue, Dave Brubeck Quartet - Time Out, Sonny Rollins - Saxophone Colossus.
I remember when I was a youngster playing Grim Fandango, this song came on in the hallway of an office. It was one of the least interesting areas in the game, but I stood there for ages because I was so fascinated by the atmosphere of this track:

I feel like dungeon synth aficionados will appreciate this album. This is music for leaving the dungeon, taking a time machine forward a few hundred years -- but not quite to present day -- and leaving the forests for a crime-ridden city with dark alleys and dilapidated speakeasies. Enjoy!

Yes, Bohren are great! I don't like their early albums, when they still used electric guitars, but the later albums are really good. And Sunset Mission is my absolute favourite.

It's funny you mention Bohren & der Club of Gore because a friend of mine show me this album 2 weeks ago. It sounds great. He also mentionned Mount Fuji Doomjazz Corporation which is even closer to Doom / Metal standard, yet still Jazz:
I don't listen to much Jazz, yet I find John Coltrane's Love Supreme to be enjoyable to listen to:

Love coltrane though, his later stuff too.

I don't listen to jazz very often (I do listen to alot of jazz-influenced music like some progressive rock/metal acts, though). When I do, Snarky Puppy pretty much does the job:
Ironically enough, I did take jazz courses for one year and even played in one or two concerts last year. I'd say I prefer much more playing jazz than listening to it.

Pharoah Sanders is a big one for me - allegedly he's the guy who encouraged John Coltrane to "get weird" with the sax. Quite a bit of my core understanding of Noise comes from the way Pharoah uses the saxophone (which I played in HS band) as so much more than a melodic instrument. "Harvest Time" is a good starter: "Karma" is a bit notorious for taking jazz to some sort of Next Level (in 1969): "Africa" is one of my most-listened of his - more classic jazz structure, but really pushes the noisey side of the tenor & works with "sheets of sound" within the traditional context: Wanted to share since Pharoah Sanders was a direct influence on the style of Alder Deep, more so than any metal artists. My favorite, however, will always be Miles. B)

I feel less alone Pharoa Sanders is dope, oh yes.
That version of Kazuko is one of my most favorite tracks ever

Awesome - I love it. And, of course - all sorts of Sun Ra is worth listening too!

I went through a "jazz phase" about 15 years ago... Eric Dolphy is my favourite jazz guy. His most famous album is "Out to Lunch" - it's great and all but I prefer "Outward Bound", here is Side A: He was known for playing the bass clarient (not a traditional "lead instrument") and he really makes that thing moan!

Check out Art Blakey's drumming - insane and aggressive, sometimes it's like he's playing blastbeats with brushes...
