Attn: Jazz aficionados
I'd like to have more brooding, soulful jazz -- or "midnight jazz", as I like to call it -- in my collection. To be more specific, I'm talking about jazz along the lines of Miles Davis' Blue in Green and Round Midnight.
Are there any Pelican BBS-using jazz aficionados that could help me?

Matt,
You don't have to stray too far from Miles. The "sidemen" (actually collaborators) in his early period, including John Coltrane, Cannonball Adderly, Bill Evans and McCoy Tyner provide a wide breadth of extraordinary jazz playing. Sherwood |

Sun Ra is always looked over. He's insane, but the music is amazing.

This album has a collection of artists playing the type of jazz you describe. Listen to it and then follow up with albums of some of the artists. Actually one of my favorite jazz albums.

Matt,
Get "the Birth of Cool - Miles Davis" - one of my favs. It is the one CD that I play when happy, sad, horny or tired and always hear it different. Our lil Girl loves it as well. Our son, he's more of a T-Bone Walker fan...

For someone that sounds like Miles, but clearly isn't, try Wallace Roney. His old stuff. Start with "No Job too Big or Too Small" which is a compilation.
His new album is getting good reviews, but it is totally different in style leaning more towards atmospheric music with DJs spinning on some tracks.

Also Coltrane... My Favorite Things or Blue Trane era stuff. Wes Montgomery anything from the mid 60s I think you may enjoy this more modern album from Joe Sample called "Old Faces, Old Places" from 95... great sound and easy to digest...plays a lot of dorian mode stuff which is dark and brooding. http://www.amazon.com/Old-Places-Faces-Joe-Sample/dp/B000002N5F/ref=pd_bbs_sr_4?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1203508135&sr=8-4 McCoy Tyner Wes Montgomery |
