Looking for new to me Jazz music


Hi all,

With being home more now than ever, I want to expand my Jazz music library.  I really like Diana Krall, Brubeck, Miles Davis and Bird. I like the sounds from the trio’s, quartet’s and quintets, where you can Easily hear every note.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

Hi wolf,

 I have a Monk and a Pass CD somewhere (forget the titles).   Still unpacking from last fall’s move.  Any Titles you’d recommend for the people you listed?

Thanks.

If you like guitar the Joe Pass 4 cd "virtuoso" are the deal.... Musical and virtuoso at the same times but with a spontaneous gesture that is rare gift except for example in the best flamenco guitarist or the jazz one....

I love all Bill Evans but the consecration series is special....

Buy at least one Chet Baker album : " Chet".... and Enjoy.... :)
Hi mahgister,

I’ve heard the Jerome Kern songbook and as I remember it was great.  I’m sure I’ll like the Cole Porter and Gershwin songbook albums.

Thanks.

excellent examples as above. IMO, 1959, is the greatest year in Jazz history. Start here on your journey.

Happy Listening!


Mahgister...the recent trios from Julian Lage are astonishing (I mixed a show of his a few years ago...man...) Vijay Iyer’s "Break Stuff," Taborn’s "Chants," Mehldau’s trios are great...get ’em, get ’em all! Bill Charlap’s trios are also cool and tasty including a fave of Leonard Bernstein stuff called "Somewhere."
