Thanks for the encouragement, gents.
Still a few hours until midnight on the east coast, so in the interval before O’s Rich Perry gets played, you might be interested in "The New Standard" by Jaime Saft (piano) with Steve Swallow (bass) and Bobby Previte (drums). These all instrumental compositions seem like "jazz jazz" structure-wise but there’s definitely something very modern feeling in the performances. That was my reaction before reading the Wiki article which more or less confirms that impression. I have been enjoying this since first listening.
Some of the "modern" feel might have to do with Previte’s drumming and/or how the drums are recorded. Curious what others think about the drums on this recording and the album in general.
Frogman - If I recall correctly, you are upstate NY?? If that is correct, you might know a couple of these musicians. New names for me.
Here’s a track from the album...
