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!

Thanks to all for their suggestions. Looks like I will be picking up several over the next few months.

Best in 2003, Jim

I just returned from CES with the new Jazzstream Records Sampler that I'd got at the Elusive Disc booth in the ballroom at the Alexis Park. The first song on the sampler features a gal that sings "Save Your Love for Me" and nails it better than Jane Monheit. Definitely worth checking out.

Dee Dee Bridgewater "Live at Yoshi's" Verve 314 543 354-2
This disc is well recorded, good ambiance and dynamics, has some "scat" type songs in the Ella genre and some nice ballads.

This not exactly new (2000?), but James Carter's "Chasin' The Gypsy" (an homage to Django) is fantastic! Carter plays everything from bass sax to soprano sax, has violin and accoridian mixed in, acoustic guitar, etc. The musicianship is extraordinary.

I couldn't go to bed last night until I has listened to it 3 times! His newer stuff is just as good.
