All good recommendations. I just want to add on to Sdcampbell's Charles Lloyd recordings. Check out Forest Flower; nice mellow sax with some great piano works from Keith Jarrett. For some reason, Jarret's works with Miles Davis didn't stand out in my mind. It was here that he first grabbed my attention, and I've been buying his cds like a madman for the past month.
I could use some jazz mentoring.
I'm a relative newbie to jazz. I know what I like, but I can't find anymore of it. I figure this might be a good place to ask.
Generally, I think I like the sound of bluesy, laid back jazz.
My two favorite cds are:
Wynton Marsalis - Midnight Blues (it's the 5th in a series of cds he did)
Miles Davis - Kind of Blue
If you've heard both of these cds, I hope you can see the commonality between them in the same way I do. To me they are both moody, introspective, and romantic albums.
Thanks in advance for any advice. I'm really looking forward to discovering more of a great genre.
