The JAZZ thread

[Tarpon]

Here's a couple more favourites. Both albums are so so good. I remember both records as a young lad (unheard) for the covers and label alone when I knew nothing but fortunately landed on my feet. Sweet.

My personal favourite.

Great shout. Right up there with Coltrane's 'Blue Train' for me.

OK, I'll be the philistine. I can't stand jazz, because they're clearly making it up as they go along.

There, I said it.

Check the link I posted to the last Jazz thread on here. You said the same then.

About as predictable as tonight's celebrations are

Happy New Year

Seen Chris Barber's band a few times as well as the DSCB if you like a bit of New Orleans.

Michelle Petrucciani if you like great jazz piano. A Frenchman who was born with deformities leaving him with a short stature and enormous hands. Quite extraordinary technique. My favourite of his CD's is Blue Note Years

I need to mention Charlie Parker (Bird), was listening to that last night.

We went down to the Swanage Jazz festival last not really a huge jazz fan but it was really good and not expensive worth a look

 

[dougdeep]

Gregory Porter deserves a mention.

The thinking man's jazz album! Gil Evans "Into the Cool"

 

[Dave Armstrong's Hare]

I was very much a Soul/Jazz & Jazz Funk man, and I still buy the occasional CD. My favourites at the moment are a young American collective called "Snarky Puppy". They have many hi end vids on you tube including this one "Thing of Gold" http://youtu.be/eZBlRkF0-to (sorry not enough posts yet to go direct, you'll have to paste)

Grover Washington, Ronnie Laws, Crusaders, Alfonse Mouzon, George Benson.
