Jazz Music Question


Hi All,

I have been listening to music for 50 plus years and just don't have the jazz styles and artists locked in my mind like I do for rock.

So, anyway, I acquired Cannonball Adderley's "Somethin Else" and I think that it is fantastic.

What style/genre of jazz is this album?

I want more of the same - what artists or albums might you recommend?

Thanks for listening,

Dsper.

Welcome to JAZZ!


Okay, here’s a can’t miss recommendation. McCoy Tyner and Jackie McLlean’s, 'You taught my heart to sing.'

It’s a 1985 release, when jazz was "coming back" to a modern audience. Not many even know Jackie McLean. He and both McCoy were around forever. And who can forget the great bassist, Marcus Miller!


Hey, there’s nothing like a nice ballad to get your jazz juices going. If you like it, I’ve many more recommendations.


Okay, since I’m a nice guy here’s another that's a little known GEM.


Chico Freeman’s ’To Hear A Teardrop In The Rain.’

Let me know what you think. Both of these are very rare finds today.
