Jazz like this? Suggestions


I've been listening to "The Gotland Sessions" by the Magnus Ringblom Quartet for a good while now, and absolutely adore it. However, I have tried unsuccessfully to search for Jazz in a similar vein, having exhausted his catalogue on Qobuz

I'm no expert on Jazz, but enjoy the mellow, dreamy jazz served up by Magnus and co; could someone with more Jazz knowledge point me in the right direction?

I stream exclusively from Qobuz

 

Thanks guys 👍🙂

I would check out titles by Bill Charlap. You may also like Emmet Cohen's classic series featuring Ron Carter.

So, you mean: Jazz absent the improvisational; aspect?

That ain't Jazz!  

 

 

 

@stuartk    There is nothing wrong with improvisation per se.

But necessarily if a a large percentage of performances are mainly improvisational. performers will be unable to maintain a high standard for many of them.  Absent the ones that could be classed as 'poor', many will tend to be similar and continue for lengthy periods along similar lines.  I think this is what FZ meant by 'noodling'.  I might call it 'being on the road a while but not getting far' or, perhaps, 'taking the long way around'.  Some might find too much of this tedious.

As in all things, quality is what counts.
