Great jazz and Rock unknown GEMS Share yours

Rock: Either of Ray Davies recent solo albums. Working Man's Cafe is the more Kinkslike of the two.

Barrence Whitfield and the Savages.

Jazz: Lynne Arriale Trio - lyrical piano trio

Hayes Carll- Trouble in Mind, his most recent. Think Uncle Tupelo/Steve Earl-ish. Maybe. Kinda.

Manu Kache-Neighborhood. Gabriels sometime drummer jazz offering with Tomascz Stanko and Jan Garbarek.

Don't know if either is necessarily unknown, but certainly shouldn't be.

Jack Bruce

More Jack than G*D

WONDERFUL !!!!!!!!!!!!

Rock: Two Cow Garage, "Walls against Our Back"; Hayes Carll, "Little Rock"

Jazz: Bluiett, Jackson, El Zabar, "The Calling"

Other: Sera Cahoone, "Only as the Day Is Long."

Rock:
Anything by dEUS (no, I don’t have the key locked, that’s the only way to write it), sadly very compressed masterings lately. http://deus.be/
Rain, Tree, Crow, “Rain, Tree, Crow”
not unknown, but too easily forgotten: Colosseum: “Live!”

Jazz:
Juergen Friedrich, “Pollock”
Fresu, Galliano, Lundgren: “Mare Nostrum”
Roessler, Vogt, Vitous, “Between the Times”
and another forgotten one: Weather Report, “Sweetnighter”

Strange bedfellows from both worlds (not everyone’s cup of tea, fantastic “projects” for those who do like it):
Jack Bruce with hr-Bigband, “Live at 37th Deutsches Jazzfestival”
Hiram Bullock with WDR Bigband, “Plays the Music of Jimi Hendrix”

Undefinable:
Hadouk Trio, “Baldamore” (there’s a recent live thread on Hadouk with many links to music, check it out)

These are some I thought of instantly, I’ll just cut it short here without further pondering, there are of course so many more…
Enjoy!
