There is so much good new jazz out there that it's impossible to keep up with it all, esp. with Tidal at one's fingertips.
I'm enjoying Yazz Ahmed's latest, she can play the trumpet, and Thana Alexa's "Ona" is interesting too. The rhythm section is excellent.
Fabian Almazan is one of my favorite musicians on the scene. His music is both beautiful (romantic really) and original. His wife Linda May Han Oh is putting out some serious music as well.
Will Vinson's "four forty one" features some fine playing. Everything he plays make sense, is a statement. Plus the album features a who's who of current jazz heavies.
Brilliant musicians like Coltrane and Miles never let their music ossify. Their tastes were ever changing. We would do well to attempt to do the same.
