1959 was a banner year for Jazz;
Miles Davis -Kind of Blue
Dave Brubeck -Time Out
Charles Mingus -Ah Um.
if only Coltrane could have released 'Giant Steps' (1960)
during 1959... |
I am stoked as we enter into 2015 and await the Jazz offerings for this new year. The last few years have been especially excellent for Jazz music. Happy Listening All! |

your recommendation for OP, what are some of his best recordings? |
2015 has been another banner year for Jazz.
Here's to 2016 and its continuation! |
Thank You! for your Service- Schubert. |
A great Christmas Jazz CD is the new one from India Arie & Joe Sample.
These are the last recordings for Joe Sample, whom died, in September 2015. |
Happy New Year!
Matthew Shipp has (2) excellent cds in 2015. |
rok-
laughing...there are many other countries that do not condone drug use/abuse and incarcerate their people for these crimes... |
Agreed Orpheus-
Fathead Newman is an outstanding musician. I am excited this new year
to keep discovering and enjoying Jazz music! |
Guys-
feel free to list the new releases in 2016!
Keep me posted & Happy Listening! |
Second,
it is difficult to go against Monk. Keep me posted & Happy Listening!
|
Any one have the new Bill Frissell CD ? |
I can hardly await the next great Jazz CD of 2016.

Calvinj-
the (4) cornerstones of Jazz are from the year 1959;
Miles Davis- Kind of Blue-
Charles Mingus- Ah Um
Ornette Coleman- The shape of Jazz to come
Dave Brubeck- Time Out
Honorable mention- John Coltrane "Giant Steps".
these discs will get you started in the right Jazz direction.
|
Pharoah Sanders is always great! |
Big fan of the trio as well- Brad Mehldau is one of the best! |
As much as I love Jazz music, big band/swing does nothing for me.'
I am much more into Bop, Hard-Bop and modal Jazz styles. |
Renee Rosnes has a new CD dropping in February 2016.
Any other new Jazz releases slated for next month? |
Bob-
I concur w/ you- every Jazz fan must own "Swiss Movement". |
Yes! calvinj-
Blue Moon + Saturday Morning are (2) recent masterpieces by the master himself. |
Thanks! frogman-
Big Peter Erskine fan here. He is a master w/ the brushes- love his work and did not know that he has a new release for 2016? |
Charles Lloyd- forest flower. |
I dig the West Coast stuff myself. |
Shelly Manne comes into my mind on the West Coast style. |
Monk- Riverside Recordings |
Yep, "Speak Low" is a great Jazz standard covered by many.
|
|
Guys-
let's talk about Jazz Bassists;
Scott LaFaro is where I begin as he was quickly hired by Bill Evans (the great Bill Evans). Was there anyone of significance prior to SL ?
|
Check out- Akua Dixon- CD is avail via CD Baby. |
Schubert-
can you tell us more about your incident? |
Much Thanks! Schubert-
for telling your story. It is imperative that we share all experiences here, positive & negative, for the rest of us. Sadly, eBay is just as bad, as every moron and I do mean moron, it is laden w/ really poor sellers.
Take Care, |
rok-
I must ask, whom is "LEON" ? |
|
Nope, have not heard of him??? |
Guys-
back to leon- which recordings did he perform w/ Pharoah Sanders? |
Many Thanks! orpheus10
which instrument does Leon play? |
Agreed orpheus10-
most "art" types are maladjusted, to speak the very least. This fact does not make them bad people per se. Happy Listening!
|
TY- orpheus10-
are these the LP/CD titles? |
Was there a prominent Jazz bass player prior to Red Mitchell? |
Yep, Afro Blue is a wonderful standard. |
I will look into it- orpheus10-
Another +vote for "Bass on Top". I will also look into Doug Watkins. |
