Stretching out with other worldly and US jazz influenced music

I wanted to start a thread to show there is more than just Avant Garde and or Straight Ahead Jazz music in our world. And there is absolutely nothing wrong at all with Avant Garde and or Straight Ahead Jazz music as I do love that part of US Jazz based culture. But sometimes I want to hear and add more sound spices as it were, from other worldly and US jazz influenced music.

There is so much more other worldly and US jazz influenced music that goes unnoticed and it's time to bring those musics of different sound spices to the forefront to be shared.

Although I have started this thread I am not a or the moderator. Let me repeat I am not a or the moderator. I don't have the time nor energy to police anyone's take on the music they like and want to share. As I will always try and be open to others choices of music.

@tyray great thread! Here’s my 2 cents:

I am a huge fan of the genre currently known as Dark Jazz.

Bohren und der Club of Gore are an absolutely amazing band - to which I was introduced by a member here, for which I am grateful.

Trigg & Gusset are also excellent. Bohren are German, T&G Dutch.

If Dark Jazz still feels too mainstream for y’all, try Clowncore. Granted, if you had to stick a label on it Clowncore is grindcore, but what do labels even mean?

The reason I mention Clowncore is because its two members, whose identities are officially a mystery, are widely believed to be jazz saxophonist Sam Gendel and multi-instrumentalist Louis Cole.

Clowncore will stress-test your system / speakers when played suitably loud... These guys don’t do compression

Anyway one of the things I love about jazz is how broad and inclusive a tent it pitches

Enjoy the music!

Nik Bartsch's Ronin are rather otherworldly I think.

@tomic601 yeah, I can see that... Actually I think Connie Plank produced some tracks for Duke Ellington

Love CAN, love Neu! too, another Plank-produced German band from the same era
