Hello you all jazz lovers. I've spent my day browsing the Music section, looking for existing threads about the complexiness of modern jazz scales and stuff like that. But to my surprise, a sufficient thread wasn't found. So I simply have to begin one.
I wouldn't be sure to include the term "acid" in the topic because it's got different meanings, you know. When I do see the genre of "acid jazz", I get the image of players on acid and taking the full scales in work. Others think it as a mixture of funk and trip hop and whatnot. I've got some "Best of Acid Jazz" CDs but they don't provide the certain style I'm after.
I don't know shinola about the exact definition of music scales but what I do know is that jazz' scales differ from traditional pop music. I listen to common jazz albums such as "Moanin'" and "A Love Supreme" and they provide the my kind of acids in the play. The holy combination of a sax, piano and bass makes some serious tones!
I'd like to hear suggestions of various jazz (and why not pop records as well) that take the jazz scales to the max! I just seem to enjoy them most tremendously. To make things interesting, is there "acid jazz" played with solo piano? Or with bass! I've been wondering if there's a complete genre of "piano and bass" played so funky I'd be gasping for air after a song.
I'm sorry for bad text presentation. I'm too excited right now.

-- is it not the scales that tickle me in the right spot? I'm going to try your other suggestions in order to get the direction straight.
