Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !jazz@lemmy.world
We definitely need more activity in that community, so thanks!
Tank!
You’re welcome!
It’s Spokey Dokey for me. Fuck me, if I could ever rip through a harmonica like that… I would call it good on life and try to pass in my sleep

Same. Too Good Too Bad is too good for me to go a month without hearing.
Real Folk Blues.
Jazz so good tho
I used to dislike it, but once it clicks 😫👌
I feel personally attacked. Also, if someone can tell me which of the plethora of Jazz subgenres is similar to that style, (Specifically Tank!) that would be great. Asking for a friend.
While we’re at it, I always thought the Archer opening was eerily similar to the CB opening and it seems I was not the only one.

Tank! Is a a fusion of Big Band Acid Jazz, Swing, and Bebop.
Do you like the soundtrack of The Incredibles?
Thank you! I don’t remember that ST well enough to be certain, I will check to see.
The incredibles has a fantastic sound track, kronos unveiled is a masterpiece.
I can relate. I’ve made a couple themed Yoko Kanno playlists back when I was still burning CDs.
The subgenre is called “bebop.” Get some Charlie Parker albums. He recorded some great songs with Dizzy Gillespie.
Yoko Kano is even more impressive when you realize she also worked on Stand Alone Complex and Turn-A Gundam. None of which sound anything like any of the others, but they’re all top notch.
John Williams has a style you can always pick out. So does Hans Zimmer. Yoko Kano? Could be anything, but it’s going to be good.
The subgenre is called “bebop.”
Go figure! 😂
Thanks very much for the details, will check out everything you recommended, but the trumpets are the hook for me, so I think “hard-bop” is going to be my sweet spot.
Maybe check out Buddy Rich or Maynard Ferguson.
Thank you, added to the list!
more trumpet stuff…

Wow, this is a super helpful and informed comment! If you don’t mind, I have a similar question. What would you call the theme for Baccano!? Is that still jazz?
I never watched that show, but I just googled the theme song. It’s more big-band funk and swing jazz, maybe a little rock. I only listened to it once, but it immediately reminded me of Maynard Ferguson.
Take that with a huge grain of salt, because I’m not an expert. I just had a bunch of jazz records as a kid, and loved Cowboy Bebop and bought all the OSTs.
I liked your comment so much I thew it in !bestoflemmy@lemmy.world (@bestoflemmy@lemmy.world if you’re on Kbin)
I hope that’s okay!
Fine by me! Glad you liked it.
Just one thing:
Tank! is more driving trumpets and melodic than classic bebop, so you might also check out some Wynton Marsalis. He played what is called “neo-bop” which was a popular revival of bebop in the 1980s.
Wynton is not dead and still performs.
For hard bop trumpet, you can’t go wrong with Clifford Brown and Lee Morgan.
Good point, I think of Wynton as being from my youth, but I guess I’m not as old as I thought.
Today I learned why there’s a “save comment” button on here. On the tram now listening to Charlie Parker. So far: so excellent. Thanks!
Check out Charles Mingus
Songwhip: Charles Mingus - Boogie Stop Shuffle
Mingus Dew. My favorite Bebop cola.
Thank you very much!
For a slightly more contemporary suggestion, I recommend Gordon Goodwin’s Big Phat Band. Lots of fast paced swing/bop with crazy solos. Here’s a good starting point https://youtu.be/SV1juxVlpic?si=s8DpmDdE4ljxfxaM
Thank you!
Never thought I’d be on the newspaper 😎
I feel called out
Don’t Bother None
I think it’s time to blow this scene. Get everybody and their stuff together

Then the next article:
Local anime fan Tyler Jenkins has recently found himself in a cultural conundrum: wondering how accurately he can sing his favorite anime theme songs without crossing the line into unintentional racism, sources close to the karaoke machine reported.
“sources close to the karaoke machine” - just brilliant.
I also listen to the Charlie Brown soundtracks. Who can forget such classics as “Linus and Lucy” and “Charlie Brown theme”
For that matter, check out the Mr Roger’s theme. That is some slapping shit for a kids show. Wouldn’t be out of place at a piano bar.
Love that Vince Guaraldi fella.
I mean who can blame them - the OST do be slapping
A few years ago I went on the hunt for existing Big Band directors and bands, and came across Mark De Clive-Lowe. The song Take The Space Train is close to the style depicted in the Cowboy Bebop intro:

All of the tracks in that same album are great, if you like the Big Band style. I highly recommend El Dia Perfecto as well.
