What Jazz or Blues are you spinning?

Good show Marco! Both very fine lps.
Dave Holland is a total titan..
I saw him last weekend with Anouar Brahem, a Tunisian oud player.
Django Bates on piano and Nasheet Waits on drums at the Barbican in london, performing the Blue Maqams lp... just phenomenal!! (See what you miss Marco living so far from the smoke !)

Well you know it hits the spot when you turn to your wife and she’s smiling with tears running down her cheeks.
Along with Ron Carter the finest exponents of the double bass.

Just been diggin this.
On MFSL vinyl 45rpm
Always loved the material but the orange CBS vinyl cuts imho are utterly shite .. really flat.
This premium reissue, although nearly poxy £50...really is like hearing a totally different record
Highly recommend...
Miles Davis -Miles In the Sky

You are most welcome John. This really is a great thread. One of the best things about it is that no one who contributes here is in the least bit judgmental about other's choice in music, or has airs of superior taste. No one-upmanship, and conversely no seeking of praise or affirmation. Very pleasant and respectful, all of it.

That said, some of the guys here really know their jazz, and it's possible to learn a lot from them.

Feel free to add your own old favourites or new discoveries to the chat. You live in an area (the American south) with a rich jazz and blues tradition. Is there a lively local scene in your town or nearby? Any young up-and-comers that we should hear? Part of the fun is hearing artists from other parts of the world that we may never have known about if not for a shout-out here. For example, I've introduced the guys to a few Canadian musicians (e.g. Jane Bunnet, Emilie-Claire Barlow, etc.), and in return I have picked up on some terrific UK artists (Matthew Halsall, Go Go Penguins) which I really enjoy.

Long may this thread live!

Cheers,
Svend

Some old, even for him, Big Bill Broonzy. This stuff mostly from the 30, s. Accompanied by Josh Altheimer on piano, one of the great pianists of the age

Broonzy was a huge star.

Thank you, Svend. Ma Rainey was born here in Columbus, GA and we have an active Jazz Society and Columbus State University school of music. I don't know of any local recording artists, but I'll ask around.
