Talk:Nu jazz

Spam links
There are more words in the large amount of spam links to this article, than words in the article itself. I've removed the obvious ones, but a few more need checking out AND the article needs expanding. Escaper7 16:19, 23 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Good cleanup job, compared to the 20+ spam links there was in August. I've checked and deleted the two last remaining links: both were only homepages (not direct links to relevant content) of an internet radio, and a message board site. -- 62.147.36.154 03:37, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

Please do not add your commercial, irrelevant or personal spam links to this article. Several have been removed in accordance with Wikipedia's policy on external links SEE:External links. Make sure you have read this if you are considering adding links, but in any case, a link should clearly relate to the CONTENT of the article, and not be added for the sake of it... this is conseidered as vandalism. Thanks. Escaper7 10:52, 17 October 2006 (UTC)


 * My two cents: for dealing with spammers, putting a warning on the talk page is useless. On heavily spammed articles such as music genres, you need to put a big HTML comment explaining the ground rules to any wannabe spammer: anybody trying to edit this section will see it, it informs the innocent editors and removes plausible deniability from the spammers. For an example, please see the HTML comment I just inserted in the current article (diff). -- 62.147.36.154 03:37, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

Sex Mobb
Is this meant to be Sex Mob (under the Assoiciations heading)? If so do they really have any connection with this sort of music? I'm no expert, but I don't hear any reference to electronic dance in the album I've got. DavidCh0 (talk) 13:42, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

?
This is a strange article, as it stands. I've been trying to figure out a way to organize it. I think the quote at the beginning about making jazz fun again and being melodic and "like grunge" is not actually very helpful or descriptive, and I'm thinking of removing it soon. What this article is really about is in the interaction between electronics and jazz. I'm not even sure if "nu jazz" is the best title. Electrojazz might be better, or even "electronic jazz". I might do some research and return. Aryder779 (talk) 21:37, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

Ok, I did some Googling, and "nu jazz" is by far the most popular term, so we'll stick with that. Aryder779 (talk) 21:46, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

Adding Redlink artists
New upcoming artists should not be deleted from the list of notable examples. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.76.0.31 (talk) 20:41, 27 September 2010 (UTC)
 * If they're "new upcoming artists" and meet Wikipedia notability criteria (WP:BAND) then they'll presumably get articles in their own right. If not, having a redlink to a non-article adds nothing to any readers' use of the encyclopaedia. AllyD (talk) 20:48, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

You are too strict but I accept. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.76.0.31 (talk) 21:24, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

Choosing relevant artists
I feel strongly that the late Jun Seba (Nujabes) deserves a spot in this article, but I don' t want to shoehorn him in based only on my opinion. Is there a proccess for choosing relevant artists? Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.214.54.206 (talk) 21:03, 9 January 2011 (UTC)

Matthew Shipp
Shipp surely does NOT belong here. what he does may be NEW jazz (like e.g. Robert Glasper), he is a serious improvising jazz musician. but nu jazz is club, lounge and dance music, and essentially light. It's like Illbient vs Ambient (you won't relax with rather dark and experimental music). MenkinAlRire 22:46, 27 July 2013 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by MenkinAlRire (talk • contribs)

This article is abysmal
Nu Jazz was the music that mostly came out on the Jazzanova-Compost and Sonar Kollektiv labels mid-late 2000's: Jazzanova, Kyoto Jazz Massive, Nuspirit Helsinki, a few others and one or two dabblers around the periphery. Most of the music mentioned in this article is not Nu Jazz. The history section is ridiculous.

I took out the dead links to irrelevant articles and spam at the bottom and a few of the most obviously not Nu-jazz artists (Robert Miles for gods sake) but the whole article needs rewriting. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.113.158.99 (talk) 11:07, 17 January 2014 (UTC)
 * I wouldn't disagree with you. I will have a look and see if I can find some reliable sources for a clean up.--  SabreBD  (talk ) 11:21, 17 January 2014 (UTC)

Tony Brewer
Tony Brewer is called a critic but the link takes us to an article about a baseball player. Maybe one is moon-lighting as the other? 31.52.253.234 (talk) 23:29, 29 November 2017 (UTC)
