Looking for new to me Jazz music

Renee rosnes:

"black Narcissus"

"beloved of the sky"

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....

Art Blakey.

Check out West Coast Jazz from the 50s and early 60s. Groups like The Lighthouse Allstars, Cal Tjader, and Shelley Mann and His Men. West Coast Jazz tends to be a more melodic form of jazz and is quite beautiful.

I agree.  Cal Tjader especially, just lovely music... and of course his understudy and modern day version Poncho Sanchez!
