Non-trombone music that we like
One highlight of this otherwise depressing year has been finding good music. One of them is this Ukranian prog "metal" band, Jinjer. I don't particularly care how people label this band genre-wise - they're fun. Thinking back, I'm not really sure when I got into this kind of stuff, although this is the first band I've come across where I've gotten to appreciate the screaming vocal styles. Kind of makes me wish that more people were willing to do this kind of experimentation in jazz. Alas. An obvious comparison is the Rite Of Spring, in terms of the rhythmic complexity. But I think that the first "popular" band I came across that dove into more complex meters was Radiohead. I know, not the first, but possibly the first for me.
Who else would like to share some cool non-trombone music that they've discovered this year?

Here's another one. Non-trombone, for sure. From three years ago, technically, but new to me.

Classic Rock - I can give you thousands of examples. Here are three of too many to count: and and
There couldn't be much more of a contrast to Classic Rock to be found than New Age... to be found on Sirius/XM Spa Channel 68, for example. I like both.

Yeah, classic rock can be a lot of fun! I liked that Peter Frampton clip in particular.

Since you asked...
Wind and string music by Mozart, Haydn, Beethoven, Dvorak
Anything by Heinrich Schütz
The Beatles, Pearl Jam, 10,000 Maniacs
Irish/Scottish traditional
...just to get started.
Also: Slavic Soul Party. Yes, they have trombones. Yes, you will dig them. I promise.

That wooden flute with lots of reverb definitely is on the lighter side. Cool tone, different than what we get on modern transverse flutes. Almost like a recorder.

Re: Non-trombone music that we like
Well, that's one that I have never heard of. From Wikipedia:
"Punching in a Dream" is a song by New Zealand indie electronic band The Naked and Famous from their debut studio album, Passive Me, Aggressive You (2010)."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punching_in_a_Dream
A bit too much on the "predictable" side for me, as far as the song arrangement itself goes. Nice clean sound, though, and the girl can sing.

Re: Non-trombone music that we like
Yui is a great Japanese singer who I like to listen to for my sound concept on alto.
The opening line showcases the beauty of the Japanese language:
Tooi mukashi shasshin de mita
(In a photograph from long ago)
Akai yane no tsuzuku machi de
(I saw a town with red roofs stretching out)
La la la la, de au ki ga shite ita
(I had a feeling I'd meet you there)
Because the language is 100% the opposite of English word order, the way the info comes into your head is as above, but the literal and much less poetic english translation would be more like:
"I had a feeling I'd meet you in the meandering town with the red roofs that I saw in a photo from a distant long ago"

Re: Non-trombone music that we like
Nice. Seems like a precursor to a slide guitar. This reminds me - speaking of unusual playing technique, a friend of mine hipped me to the berimbau. I've never seen anything quite like it, and has a super-rich tone.Doug Elliott wrote: ↑Wed Dec 23, 2020 2:00 am Some really unconventional playing techniques and really cool original music.

Re: Non-trombone music that we like
For me I'm a huge Ben Folds/Five fan.
He's a great song writer and has some fantastic melodies. Some quirky stuff too. I've also noticed that his songs always end properly rather than do that fade out which I find annoying
You can find his stuff with the Western Australia SO and with ymusic who are a group formed from when they were at Julliard.
He has also composed a piano concerto which for a pop musician is pretty good!
I've been lucky enough to have seen him a lot live and have never been disappointed.
And for music on my side of the pond I've been getting back into my teens ie Britpop/indie. Blur/Oasis/Radiohead/Ocean Colour Scene, the list goes on. For me "modern" music has gone to pot and I can't stand it.

Re: Non-trombone music that we like
I’ve posted several times how much I like my Alexa. It’s not perfect. It has difficulty finding Wes Montgomery’s Smokin’ at the Half Note. It found Arnold Schoenberg after I got the umlaut pronunciation to its liking. No luck with Webern though. I’m listening and enjoying Al DiMeola new flamenco right now. I wonder, sometimes, whether all this free access has completely devalued music. All recorded music is just background music, just Muzak.

Re: Non-trombone music that we like
My introduction to Barbara Dennerlein was maybe a couple of years ago. I have in my CD collection an Elliot Carter album, but upon playing it heard some great jazz funk. Turns out that the CD was either mislabeled or mis-burned, and was actually Dennerlein's album "That's Me" and is one of the ones with Ray Anderson. A very awesome "mistake" find.

Oooh, Doug you might like this if you've never heard it, a similar technique:
This was probably one of the first viral videos on YouTube. It was released in 2006 (I remember, I was 10!). He also plays harp guitar.
Nai Palm / Hiatus Kaiyote (her quartet) are making some of my favorite music right now. They have a unique style blending R&B, soul, extended harmony and so much more into a really complete package.
This video was taken the day after she had a surgery to remove her breast for cancer, in the hospital, impromptu nonetheless:
One of my favorites - the band is from Australia and they incorporate a LOT of polyrhythm and tribal rhythms really seamlessly into their music:
Another favorite of mine:
- live recording

Does this get into the territory of "math metal?" Whatever the case, I think I like this quasi-merging of metal and jazz. Weird video, but the music goes places.
