1:31 - track a 4:47 - track b 8:00 - track c ❤ 11:14 - Medley

[@goobertsnoobert9015]

Group Dancers is just the best

[@cademcbride8162]

let’s go love this album! bitches brew is a must bro🤚

[@badlula17]

Bitches brew is too much of a jump he should listen to something in between, some Coltrane or earlier miles

[@collinbeal]

It was funny seeing you say it was avant-garde jazz as if it were some pompous term and then discovering what it meant as the music drained you of everything and left you sweating 😂😂. It's exhausting even for me, and I've heard a fair bit of jazz, including multiple listens to this album. My dad said he likes jazz, so I played this when I was DD'ing him home from his friend's house; needless to say, he didn't mean this when he said that. Some of the best jazz albums really do leave you feeling like you had too much to eat; another one like that is Roberto Rodriguez & John Zorn - _Aguares: Book of Angels Vol. 23_ . Please peep that, and peep _0_ by Ichiko Aoba and _Ys_ by Joanna Newsom. You're the best, Smags ❤.

[@fastenbulbous]

I love Mingus, but I wouldn’t want to listen to this album after a night of drinking lol

[@Missjunebugfreak]

I adore this album because it makes me feel like I'm in the middle of some dark crime noir film and I'm slowly descending into madness. Such a breathtaking record and one that never grows old.

[@christianmendoza8107]

Just pick a random one for your next Jazz reaction John Coltrane - A Love Supreme Miles Davis - Get Up With It Ornette Coleman - Free Jazz Peter Brotzmann - Machine Gun Albert Ayler - Spiritaul Unity Sun Ra & His Arkestra - The Magic City Some proto Hardcore/Metal stuff right here

[@colloquially]

Machine Gun is fuckin crazy

[@gregregregregregregre]

Ornette Coleman is the type of music to listen in a chaotic bar fight in the 60's that keeps escalating

[@fullcol]

i would add the epic - kamasi washington to this list

[@foxxmonger]

the brotzmann is a pullll

[@Frdnnd]

Amazing picks ngl, GUWI is Miles best btw 👀

[@mememan3799]

Let’s go, one of the greatest jazz albums of all time. Herbie Hancock’s Headhunter’s is another super classic.

[@svp6055]

second Headhunters

[@gregregregregregregre]

I remember always listening to this album while i play video-games and i thought i was batshit crazy when it started playing automatically at the beginning car ride scene of Cyberpunk 2077 at the same time i had i was listening to it on the background

[@williamhornabrook8081]

So cool that you picked a Mingus album! The first concert I ever went to was Mingus Big Band, so I'm super duper fond of his music. He had the most extraordinary players in his bands too.

[@FlowerChildanddan]

Awe man, I found you from watching your GYBE reaction. I can't believe you're doing Mingus! This is killer!

[@AqRook9363]

Charles Bingus

[@illcuin40]

charles binbus

[@Austyn59913]

best comment I’ve ever read

[@thisguyhasbadtastes6478]

Ming dynasty pussy got me actin unwise

[@JesseTrevino-cd6dl]

Charlie Mingle

[@skunkape1085]

another banger, still asking you to listen to Duck Stab by The Residents

[@gentlemonstersunies]

YIPEEE NEW VID!!!! need a reaction to Vol 1 by the hellp or night time my time both so good 😻

[@HudsonB-pd3ud]

Awesome Man, recommend RAM by Paul McCartney!!

[@geodadi1969]

jazz reactions lets fucking go!!

[@not_cicero]

Whatever Mingus's requirements were for his players, I'm sure they were high. Mingus was known to be pretty hot tempered, to the point where he was known as "The Angry Man of Jazz." But he made some damn good music. Maybe some of the best ever recorded. If you want more, Mingus Ah Um is another banger.

[@bryan9406]

smags looking mighty fresh today

[@Aldo-vn6eo]

you absolutely need to check out The Mars Volta's "Frances the Mute." Long, winding prog rock opera with the perfect blend of strange, weird, experimental, and catchy. note: if you do check this out, remember that the last song, cassandra gemini, is split into a ton of parts on spotify as it's pretty long, but its still all one song. the album is 5 songs even if on spotify theres 12 tracks LOL

[@bodywithoutorgans409]

yeah that album is insane, one of my favs.

[@emc9029]

mf you already know what im about to say, bright eyes please!!!!

[@Ech0H0use11]

please do some frank zappa and you HAVE to do Bitches brew and also check out 'let my children hear music' by mingus

[@themidnight8749]

dude ur the goat it’s indisputable now

[@bassicdiego]

many musicians who play this music know each other, & mingus simply finds musicians he trusts to play his music. i will say that the pianist, jaki byard, as well as the drummer, dannie richmond, are longtime collaborators with mingus. jerome richardson, the saxophonist, is also well-regarded & has played on other acclaimed mingus recordings. what a masterpiece for you to react to !

[@ernesto.2837]

You should react to The Olatunji Concert by John Coltrane (If you want to hear more jazz) i like it very much 'cause its really loud!:))

[@svp6055]

great concert, terrible for a first listen of Coltrane imo 😭

[@Missjunebugfreak]

You definitely need to check out "Let My Children Hear Music" and "Blues & Roots" for more Charles Mingus brilliance. Some other jazz albums I would highly recommend are: Get Up With It by Miles Davis Coin Chapter One by Matana Roberts Journey In Satchidananda by Alice Coltrane Pastel Blues by Nina Simone Black Unity by Pharoah Sanders Sextant by Herbie Hancock Moanin' by Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers

[@augustinthewater]

hey smags just wanted to say i really like your channel and all your reactions. it really feels like showing a friend music I like :) keep it up!

[@ianmendoza6816]

hardly 3 mins into the vid and smags is schoovin, we making it out the hood with this one

[@KomodoSanders]

My favorite jazz album. Mingus is the goat.

[@salvadorsanchez2623]

maaan I love this album!! you’ve got to check out Keith Jarrett’s Köln Concert!!

[@TheAlam0]

Wowza Definitely need to hear that Mr Bungle - California!!

[@scarpola9]

Mingus Pingus

[@colef6855]

Mingus is god tier, absolutely one of the best artists ever. This one is definitely a lot to take in and digest. Mingus Ah Um is his other main classic and might be a bit more accessible. Mingus' stuff definitely has a bit of a unique feeling in jazz due to the classical influence on the composition and arrangement. But there's still a ton of personality to how he uses the soloists, he also gets pretty nuts on the bass sometimes. Definitely a unique and instantly recognizable sound even across his different eras

[@dj_matty]

lets go now I have a reason to listen to this album instead of putting it off for no reason usual recs: Third Eye Blind - Self-Titled Sun Kil Moon - Ghosts of the Great Highway Parannoul - After the Magic clipping. - Visions of Bodies Being Burned

[@slughater]

Karma by Pharaoh Sanders is peak trust🙏🙏

[@BlackPinata]

This is my favourite jazz album, soooo good

[@Missjunebugfreak]

Karma, Black Unity and Love In Us All are my Pharoah Sanders holy Trinity.

[@PanarchyInTheUK]

Love that you're giving jazz a go. If you want anything a little less avant garde, try Duke Ellington's Far East Suite and Miles Davis' Kind of Blue.

[@ZenixRulez]

LOVE YOUR VIDEOS MY GUY a few recommendations: Process - Sampha (experimental r&b, great production) Nurture - Porter Robinson (light summer electric with fun production) Koi No Yokan - Deftones (very heavy, sexier and heavier radiohead imo) Hypochondriac - Brakence (very experimental emo rap, glitch pop) Reading Writing And Arithmetic - The Sundays (the smiths ish, with beautiful female vocals)

[@KhannUr7]

You definitely gotta check out Untourable by Men I Trust. Really good chill, yet funky vibes. Their album Oncle Jazz is really good as well.

[@josantosp77]

Hell yeah! This album is an absolute gem!

[@mjs734]

Heard you say about reviewing some more 80's stuff the other day, from someone that is old enough to remember them (yeah, I'm old) - try these: ABC - The Lexicon Of Love Human League - Dare Echo and The Bunnymen - Ocean Rain Talk Talk - The Colour of Spring New Order - Technique The Stone Roses - The Stone Roses The Blue Nile - Hats

[@ernesto.2837]

loved your reaction as always !

[@mateocaballero1958]

I recommend you "Romantic Warrior", it is one of the greatest jazz fusion albums I ever heard (and sounds a bit like prog rock)

[@jori1]

Just when I think the selections couldn't get better it's Charles mfing Mingus! It's hard to go wrong with any of his albums but "Let my children hear music" is a personal fav.

[@ernesto.2837]

SMAGS please react to by the time i get to phoenix and DPRK JAMZ 2021 please!!!

[@gizmowz]

dude you should review the church - starfish

[@smaz9]

Squarepusher - Hard Normal Daddy One of the best DnB albums of all time

[@0eliy0]

If you want some guitar based jazz fusion and yacht rock check out Masayoshi Takanaka. A ton of Latin and Japanese influence that never fails to bang

[@birthdaydinosaur]

before getting into more experimental stuff like bitches brew i suggest listening to kind of blue first

[@lowka]

it's time to dive into Alex G one more time. His album "Rocket" is so good and variable you can't even imagine. You should definitely check it out.

[@TheFresnan22]

I have a unique one for you. It's like the Geese album 3D Country in the sense that it's a very unique and oddball mix of genres using punk rock. The album is called On Land And In The Sea by Cardiacs. I won't spoil too much, but let's just say it's Ska and there's an accordion involved.

[@oskarallen]

You should definitely do a mount eerie reaction that album is unbelievable

[@adamseers]

FINALLY JAZZ HELL YEAHHHHH

[@MrBaumGeo]

I've been watching for a long time. I'd like to recommend Sun Kil Moon - ghosts of the great highway

[@aldo34]

Absolute beast of an album - marvellous

[@edmundherrera3055]

You gotta do the "Bird" man aka Mr. CHARLIE PARKER

[@mcgoodrexeturer]

Not sure if this would be ur thang, but if you want a real cozy but incredibly well-produced and composed album, try out Japanese band Lamp, Yume. Dreamy, lush, and jazzy instrumentals with cute and romantic-sounding vocals. In the end I just really like this album, but Lamp has recently been gaining a lot of attention and had they been a Western band they easily would've been huge in the indie scene.

[@oshingaze22]

Reccomendation, Diiv - "Oshin" good shoegaze/dreampop album

[@LilChilliMeatFeast]

Yo i know it was already in a poll BUT YOU GOTTA LISTEN TO AJA BY STEELY DAN THERES LITERALLY NO MISSES in my opinion 🦶

[@pigonthewind7908]

Welcome back to day 4 of Over by Peter Hammill

[@musicminute2004]

I recommend you listening to Nothing to fear by Oingo Boingo, some crazy 80s new wave ska record packed with creativity and lots of fun

[@xsycamore_]

this my fav jazz album next to promises

[@comeasurotmg8387]

Gonna keep recommending Ben Folds Five - The Unauthorized Biography of Reinhold Messner

[@afterhourandrew6029]

This is super random but I think you would LOVE Pixel Bath by Jean Dawson. TRUST ME it’s so good…especially Bruiseboy and Power Freaks

[@RobtSc]

Roxy Music - Roxy Music, The Residents - Duck Stab, Cabaret Voltaire - The Crackdown, Pere Ubu - The Modern Dance.

[@MrKrayer]

Smags has come a long way from hating the Trumpet to listening to Mingus.... Absolutely love Mingus and this album. Mingus also wins for the best song title of all time "The Shoes of the Fisherman's Wife are some Jive Ass Slippers". Great later Mingus tune too... kzbin.info/www/bejne/iJPHqWCgh5iUbrc

[@bolognio1150]

Some of the smexiest jazz around. Please check out Injury reserves By the Time I Get to Phoenix , best album of the decade for me

[@gablen23]

Mingus!Mingus!Mingus!Mingus! This is one of the best album/music ever created, and I'm not even love jazz.

[@pazuzu1]

if you wanna do another jazz one: either Miles Davis - Bitches Brew or Miles Davis - Get Up With It. i dont wanna sound biased but literally any miles davis album and you will be entertained for another album in general please do CAN - Future Days you will not be disappointed

[@Jujuboy0]

Charles Amingus

[@tiIebreaker]

GET OUT OF MY HEAD GET OUT OF MY HEAD GET OUT OF MY HEAD GET OUT OF MY HEAD

[@tokilladaemon]

Now THIS is an album

[@badlula17]

This album is amazing not knocking it but if you’re looking to get into jazz you’re gonna have to look into albums more based in improvisation. I’m a huge John Coltrane fan so I recommend trying A Love Supreme, but if it’s too much for you at first My Favorite Things is the way to go. Don’t listen to the elitists that say you need a big brain for jazz you just gotta get used to the rules, or lack of rules.

[@notgodga]

YOOOOOO how did you not react to "Joy as an Act of Resistance." by IDLES omg it's a must punk record you have to listen to it's gonna make your week!!

[@kalle249]
