Jazz from Europe?


I've run across several new jazz artists (for me) and have been quite impressed. These include:

Nguyen Le - "Bakida" and "Walking the Tiger's Tail"

Arild Andersen w/ Vassilis Tsabropoulos and John Marshall - "The Triangle"

and

Tord Gustavsen Trio - "The Ground"

I know that these folks have been around for a while, but it was a nice discovery to make a chance purchase which worked out so well. Any comments or additional recommendations???

for starters, Jazz at the Pawnshop. Incredible album. FIM has xrcd and sacd cd versions but even the redbook is unbelievable!

Also, Eddy House meets the Pim Jacobs trio.

The latter is the rarer of the two but must haves for jazz lovers!

Champtree! No harm meant by stating that Barron is an American! Gotta love our Jazz rooooooots baby! He's played with the likes of Monk and Pass.

Lots of stuff from blue note and verve. Even their older (read much preferred) releases in AAD (analog to digital) for cd's are great too!
Sd2005gt, Thanks for pointing out such a diversity of useful links. Where I recognized the recordings, your lists contain really excellent choices. Many others are new to me.
Will keep us all busy seeking them out.
