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.

The Bill Charlap trio opened for Steely Dan once at the Beacon Theater.

Just wanted to say thanks again to everyone who gave me leads on “New to me” jazz.

For something 'completely different' you might try Claude Bolling jazz. Very different big band from France. He;s played with some of the greatest and I like his arrangements. As I say, just for something different :)

mahgister, I agree re Charlap; great recommendation from Wolf.  Another great young(ish) piano player on the same level as Charlap, but different/brainier is Fred Hersch.  Highly recommended:

An older Jazz piano master and probably my favorite living pianist is Kenny Barron.  Be sure to also check out his work with Stan Getz:

For something a little more “classic” try Hank Jones.  Beautiful and very suave player:
