Jazz anyone ?

[Kember]

I have just bought -

Charlie Mingus - the black saint and the sinner lady (original vinyl)
Thelonious monk - brilliant corners (70s Japanese pressing)

They are both excellent albums.

You can't go wrong with mingus & monk...

+1.

And don't forget Curtis Counce! The wildly inappropriate (for the late 50s) album cover contains an excellent album:

I quite like Jazz and been to a few jazz concerts. At the moment I am discovering Sonny Rollins The guy is a master of his craft.
I got into Jazz from learning to play guitar, probably my biggest influence has been Django. Unfortunately his music is badly recorded but I just love how he plays and with only two fingers. I been fortunate enough to see some of the truly greats of jazz guitar
I guess I tend to listen more to Jazz rock, World Fusion and world Jazz. I do have some trad Jazz Be bop and even some Avant garde like John Zorn
Some of my favourite Jazz gigs
Bireli Lagrene at South Bank
Al Di Meola at the Jazz café
Surinder Sandhu at Pizza express
Larry Carlton at Leicester Sq
Mike Stern Bob Berg Marcus Millar and Dennis Chambers Bloody tight band Town and Country
Tommy Tedesco at Pizza express
Martin Taylor doing a tribute to Django
John Maclughlin Al Dimeola and Paco Just awesome
Nyguyen Lee doing his Hendrix tribute

I never could get into the widdly widdly stuff but recently I'm thoroughly hooked on some modern chilled jazz. Awesome recording quality and melodies that just get under your skin and haunt you:

Tord Gustavsen - Being There & Changing Places

Ferenc Snetberger - Nomad

Anouar Brahem - The Astounding Eyes of Rita

So glad that you guys came along. Up until now, l felt kind of lonely and thought I was the only bod on here who liked Jazz, this being a rock world nowadays, no probs with that just don't get some of it

To me, somehow or other vinyl on Jazz just go together like salt and vinegar on fish'n'chips
