He is a flash dresser too
This is a great thread! Many thanks to all who contributed for introducing me to some artists I've never heard of. E.g. Ellen Andrea Wang...as I write this I'm listening to her Blank Out album on Spotify.
Here's one of my favourites:

Joe Henderson playing the music of Billy Strayhorn.
More faves to come...

Here's another of my long-time favourites:
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped...eepy_cover.jpg
Branford Marsalis with Milt Hinton and Jeff Tain Watts. Brilliantly played, very easy-going and fun mood, and outstanding sound quality (it's one of my reference recordings). Even on a mediocre system it sounds like they're in the room with you. And if you want to rattle your china cabinet with deep bass, this is a good one.
I think it won, or was at least nominated for, a Grammy.
Cheers,
Svend
PS -- this is a very accessible album by Marsalis, more traditional in style than some of his others. A wonderful intro to jazz for those just discovering the genre. Nothing esoteric or avant-garde here, just straight-ahead jazz that's a ton of fun to listen to.
In a more contemporary vein:

From the Ezra Collective, a young group out of the UK with terrific energy.
Check out this 45 minute video of a live set in London: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_c...&v=kc49Szcr7vg
Great stuff there.

Branford Marsalis
^^^ (Brandford Marsalis) a big :youtheman:
Never heard of this guy so thought I would give it a spin. Very delicate playing in a wonderful acoustic friendly place.
Thx
It's a really interesting sound in the cathedralQuote:

Sadly over Christmas we have to follow things in a rather military way due to family, driving early enough on Christmas morn and having to Facetime a sprog in a distant land.
Meantime I'm enjoying the Rudy van Gelder playlist in Tidal.
Catch up soon. Happy tidings. :christmas:

Some wonderful music I'm familiar with here, some I'm not so will do a bit of investigating. When I was new to jazz and unsure of where to go the RVG Blue Note was always a tremendous source but I try and branch out a bit from time to time now.
I was given the Bill Evans for Christmas and it's beautiful. I really don't think I need any more BE now !
Oh yes you do :). Check out his Live at the Village Vanguard recording. Sublime playing. He's also a standout on the iconic Kind of Blue album (Miles Davis)...in my mind it wouldn't be half the recording without him.Quote:

ATB.
Ah, I see. Too funny...I assumed it was your first and only Evans album.
And two fantastic recordings to get your first taste of jazz. Well chosen.
Here's what I can't stop listening to these days:

Not the last word in artistic expression, but just great straight-ahead bebop in the west coast style. Gets your toes tapping! We have vols. 1 to 3 of 5; need to buy the last two soon.
Cheers,
Svend
Edit: sorry, couldn't get the pic to load at first. Fixed now...

Diana Krall.
Again the mp3 of the vinyl album. Sounds very good.
Good one Grant. She's one of the only jazz vocalists that I can actually listen to. Just not my thing. But Diana Krall is one that always moves me. Have you heard her Live in Paris album? It's excellent. Great sound quality too.
Svend
No svend. Not yet but will seek it out

I was in Tavistock a few weeks ago,with the good lady wife in a small charity shop.I was browsing a few LPs (usual suspects,all rubbish) when the little old lady running the place said she has some "new" old records in the back,there were 8 or 9 at 50p each.She was so pleasant I said I would have em all (I'm a Saint, I know )
Anyway one was "Aurora" by Jean Luc Ponty in good condition worth 10 quid to me as I love his music BUT there was also the real 2 subjects of my post
"Take this Hammer" by Leadbelly in pretty good nick Folkways Records USA, 1968 I think, a collection of much earlier recordings.I would call it "blues",not particularly my cup of tea, but hey,it is just brilliant.
I have played the heck out of it.
"Brownie n Sonny's Blues" by Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee fair condition French "Roulette" records 1960. These two,both disabled,just gel and I have enjoyed this one too.
At 50p each a bit of a bargain and there are not many left !!
Happy New Year all.
Dave
One of the best blues albums

Yes! Great album. I need to discover more from this guy. Gotta love Spotify.Quote:
