Switching from lo-fi to jazz recently for focus music. Just listening to spotify playlist right now, but would be interested in bingeing an artist if anyone can recommend one

    Miles Davis' In a Silent Way on repeat used to be my study music. Coltrane's Giant Steps was my party music.

      Now I'm reading your request more closely. I'm not sure either of these guys were comrades. Coltrane is more likely than Davis.

        Yeah hard to parse Davis' politics. He had some disdain for consumer culture and was resistant to any sort of oversight or creative control by his labels, so there's that.

        'Bitches Brew' and his 'Agharta' live recordings in '75 are fantastic as background once they're actively listened to and digested once or twice.

            This is a great study album. Very different than Coltrane and Miles.
