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.

tiwillwi,

Same question for you.  Any Renee Rosnes albums I should look for?

Thanks.

Renee Rosnes, “For The Moment”. Added plus, with the great Joe Henderson on tenor. Recommended!

Speaking of the great Joe Henderson, check out “Lush Life: The Music of Billy Strayhorn”.  Stephen Scott, piano. Fabulous record.
Bill Evans, Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea, Jaco Pastorious, Ron Carter,
Weather Report, Wayne Shorter, Art Tatum, Oscar Peterson, Monk,
McCoy Tyner, Red Garland, Amad Jamal, Ramsey Lewis, Charles Mingus, Billy Cobham, Chet Baker, Lee Morgan, Maynard Fergusson, Dizzy, Art Farmer, Oregon, I have to get back to work!
If you like piano trio check Eddie Higgins trio....

Very good sound generally and i like pretty much all his cd....




And if you want real unknown treasure try these 2 albums:

Walt Dickerson (vibraphone) and Sun Ra (piano)....

"Visions" and "impressions of a patch of blue"

Dickerson is a genius and it is not all day that Sun Ra work second fiddle to a musician on 2 albums.....If you want to know why, listen to this vibraphonist, one of the best there ever is....The communication between these 2 giants are phenomenal....

It is not bop but anyway, jazz at his best.....For me these 2 albums are on par with "kind of blue" but less known because a bit less commercial....Not good album tough for beginners in jazz....
