Just listening to Duke Ellington's Blues in Orbit which recorded in 1959. Amazing clarity, range and presence. Why oh why are most modern recordings done so poorly these days! Grrrrr... :doh:
Ha - a subject close to my heart, Edward! I have many thoughts on the matter, but that's one for the hi-fi section...
Anyway, right now listening to (and enjoying) this:

Marcin Wasilewski Trio: Spark of Life.
First heard/saw this trio 15 years ago, when they were young musicians with the great Tomasz Stanko at the Barbican, playing their great lyrical album, The Soul of Things. On this 2014 album, they are joined by tenor saxophonist Joakim Milder, and make more beautiful music. Marcin is certainly one of the most melodic jazz pianists out there, and the understanding he has with his fellow trio-members is truly telepathic after two decades of playing together.
On the ECM label, which means it's not on streaming platforms, I believe. But, here's a couple of youtube things, which give a flavour ...
https://youtu.be/arqoqUU8qzM ... excerpts from the album
https://youtu.be/E2V1vwQq9qU .... the tune starting about 10 minutes in (Austin) is from this album
Ahmad Jamal is rapidly become my favourite jazz pianist.
I just love the vibe he and his band produce.
Check this out for joy, groove, swing etc etc

That is magnificent. Do you know which album that track is on? Or perhaps which album of his you most recommend?Quote:

Sadly, i dont think that clip is on released. Its just a video of a gig.
Its in my favourites and Ive been listening to it daily for ages now. Love it.
He has been around a long time and Im tempted to say anything. But he is always great.
One of my favourites is an early one called. AHMADS BLUES
Good luck and happy listening.
