Jazz Recommendations

kool double4w...your exp pretty much describes mine too though b4 jazz and did a detour into blues.

check out manute kache's neighborhood w/ tom stanko and jan garbeck....acoustic modern jazz

Henry,There is a lot of chemistry going on with Ray Brown and Gene Harris,,very good choice!Double4w,Im glad you enjoyed Jazz Cello,,I just finished listening to Live at Scullers and Dont get Sassy,,my jaw hit the floor when "But not for Me" started playing Wow!Ill not rest untill I own everything Rays done!Thanks guys!

glad u liked it Ray.

Anyone like the Hammond B-3 Organ! Charles Earland"Cookin with the Mighty Burner" another fine RVG recording!

In addition to my earlier suggestions there are the following MUST hear/buy pieces:

LP:

1. Miles Davis, 'Lift to the Scaffold' (The Complete Recordings)- available on an excellent recent German, Fontana 180g audiophile pressing. Recorded around the time of 'Kind of Blue' this is the soundtrack to Louis Malle's movie, Ascenseur Pour L'Echafaud, and on at least 4 tracks defies belief+++

CD:

1. Ray Brown, The Ray Brown Trio- Summer Wind (SACD 1027-6) This SACD can also play as a CD and has a performance of 'The Real Blues' that just needs to be heard, frequently.

2. Kitty Margolis, 'Evolution', (MKCD 1004). This has a minimalist performance of 'You Don't Know What Love Is' that is worth the entry fee on its own.

The Davis LP in particular was a recent discovery for me but what an impact! I hope this helps spread a little more music and happiness.
