Jazz Recommendations

I really enjoy the Swedish

Esborjm Svensson Trio

piano, bass, drums
and some electric elements thrown in for good measure

great merge of jazz with some rock and experimental elements. Anything they've done is great

Just got a new one,another exceptional (IMHO)Gene Harris Quartet CD, Little Piece of Heaven.Aptly named as I hear it.

Don't forget Bird. Charlie Parker's Dial and Savoy sessions, which have been nicely re-mastered are wonderful. You should have some Louis Armstrong in there. The Hot 5s and 7s are great, but if your looking for more hi-fi try Satch plays WC Handy or Fats Waller on Columbia. All great records. Also, if you dig Monk check out the early blue note sessions from the late forties. They really jump.

It is a great record, but doesn't anyone ever get tired of listening to Kind of Blue? I mean c'mon guys.

Just got 'Dick Hyman,From the Age Of Swing' on the doorstep last Tuesday.Not only is it great music in the vein of the old dance bands,it is now the hands down best quality cd in my possession.It is on Reference Recordings,and also, is HDCD.

Best new Jazz purchase of 2007(so far):

Steve Khun Trio- Live at Birdland-Blue Note

Steve Kuhn - piano
Ron Carter - bass
Al Foster - drums

Great music/Great recording.
