Sax, piano, guitar recommendations
Just recently been digging into the Tubby Hayes - sax, with Louis Stewart - guitar, sessions. Really digging their vibe and synergy in the 1969 "Lost Fontana Sessions" found not so long ago. Been streaming it on Qobuz. https://www.udiscovermusic.com/news/jazz-saxophonist-tubby-hayes-lost-masterpiece-1969-release/ |
"Instrumentals ’R’ Us" so, happy to share. Andy Summers - Earth + Sky (You might not find the sax here but it’s in the spirit of what you are asking for.) Bill Bruford’s Earthworks - Random Acts of Happiness The Sound of Surprise A Part, And Yet Apart Bill Connors - Return Bob Berg - The JazzTimes Superband (...and you might not find the guitar here) Chick Corea Elektric Band II - Paint the World (You will find all elements here.) Several w/Michael Brecker as session leader... Michael Brecker (self-titled) Don’t Try This At Home Now You See It.... Tales from the Hudson Two Blocks from the Edge Yellowjackets - A Rise In The Road Timeline [Don’t care much for smooth jazz (your Kenny G gave me pause ;-) but absolutely need compositions with a melodic foundation. Some might argue YJ discs fall into the SJ category, but I’d say not, for the most part, these two.] Hoping at least some of these are new to you. |
Alexatpos The Chet Baker is really great. Totally unfamiliar with him. Listening to James Taylor New Moon Shine right now. 17 degrees outside. Good afternoon for some soul warming music. Thank you. Ghosthouse I expected the Kenny G to raise a few eyebrows. I have about 1200 CDs almost all from 80s and 90’s. My wife and I went to one of his concerts- He may have been with Michael Bolton (it was like going to a chick flick) but full disclosure I thoroughly enjoyed myself. Thanks to all. |
