My favorite new performer is Brad Mehldau, a gifted young pianist. Trained as a classical pianist, these roots are reflected in his intellectual treatment of jazz. I've been delighted attending live performances -- two at the Village Vanguard (one of which was recorded and released on CD) and one at Princeton's McCarter. I'm looking forward to his return date in Princeton within the month.
New Jazz Releases..What Do You Like?
Any new releases(not re-issues) in Jazz that you are enjoying listening to?
I would prefer real Jazz rather than the Kenny G smooth (?)music, but post what you like.
My current favorite newer release is Russell Malone's "Heartstrings" on Verve. Mr. Malone appears to have dumped the Buscarino for a DeAngelico New Yorker...and the sound is just superb.
So, let's hear what current Jazz you feel is worth a listen!
