Tripped out sessions by traditional Jazz guys

Grope

What are your favorite tripped out records by classic/traditional Jazz musicians? And why?

Mine:

1. Leroy Vinegar - The Kid and Glass of Water - two tripped out, but still mellow Jazz Funk sessions with a totally different feel from his other work.


2. Fatty George (Austrian clarinet Jazz musician and composer who mostly played Swing)


3. TRIP "A Rock opera" - psych Jazz to the fullest.Can't think of any others right now. What are your favorite two-faced musicians???

This is my shit... there are loads of these. Some faves:

Charles rouse - "two is one" on strata-east.
Dizzy Gillespie - "Portrait of Jenny" on perception, and the other one.
Ted Curson - "pop wine" on futura.
Hampton Hawes - "universe" on prestige.
Frank Foster - "the loud minority" on mainstream.
Yusef Lateef - "hush n' thunder" on atlantic. (etc.)
Charles Moffett family vol. 1

Gil Melle has another LP called "water birds" that's more modern jazz than straight-up electronics.

Love both the vinnegar LPs you mentioned.

Bill Evans w/ George Russel Orchestra "Living Time"

Great session with a big orchestra including Tony Williams, Webster Lewis, Ron Carter, Herb Bushler a.o.
More "out" and electric than most of Evans' other material. Likely to be considered a dud by hardcore fans, and one could argue that this is not the best setting for his piano playing, but I still like it a lot.

don't know that one. who are the players?

Dizzy Gillespie - "Portrait of Jenny" on perception, and the other one.

I really like Dizzy. Those Perception LPs are not his only funkyones. There are at least 6 funky and good Dizzy Gillespie records. At least one Euro only release. I can't remember the title. I almost bought it. A French record by Dizzy...

I would include Miles' "On The Corner". It's not my cuppa, but I dunno, maybe the recreational smokers are feeling it.

This is tripped out?? I'll give it a spin tonight.

I don't know who would describe Gil Melle as "traditional jazz"....

I know Pee Wee Russell did a pretty far out session or two for Impulse.

I don't know who would describe Gil Melle as "traditional jazz"....

I see what you're saying. But I was thinking of his Blue Note 10" releases as
compared to these two.

But I don't get the whole tripped out vs. traditional dichotomy though. All jazz is approaching tripped out in my world.

funky16corners

I would go as far as to say that his Blue Note (and Prestige)stuff is pretty far-out, modernist stuff (even for it's time). While he was never an "out" guy, he wasn't "in" either.

I agree with your assessment of jazz in general though.

Trane wasn't very "traditional" anymore at this point, but this is about as literally "tripped out" as it gets:

Well, I didn't know how else to describe it. I guess I was just asking about surprising records by Jazz musicians. With a totally different feel and style. There are different styles in Jazz. And not all Jazz is tripped out.

I remember a record by Chris Barber. He usually plays and directs boring Dixieland Jazz. But he once recorded an LP with super funky songs. A live set with a totally different vibe.

Now don't say that you think that those two Leroy Vinegar records are just what you would expect upon hearing Leroy's other records. The Kid and Glass of Water are very different from any other of his records. Don't you think?

Yes. I understand what you're saying. I was mostly responding to Larry in our Melle discussion. So this comparison is mostly within the artist discography, not jazz as a whole. While Melle's work has always been innovative and experiemntal, I think the Andromeda OST is way outside even HIS previous recordings.

Here's another:

The other Brom LPs I've heard are more swing and big band jazz. I think these are his only jazz-funk efforts, or am I wrong? Both are pure
  

Can somebody recommend another dope Brom LP?

Woody Herman-The Raven Speaks

Add "Giant Steps" too. Absolutely smoking bands on these records.

breezing through here, did anyone mention "Money Jungle" w/ Duke Ellington, Roach, and Mingus? the title track alone has always been

i think it's the Mingus basslines that really deliver the dark edge on this one...

no, a record on the America label. With two funky cuts and some nice explosive big band stuff. I was really surprised by that record. Some latin American influences as well. I can't remember the title. A...something...
