... Bill Charlap - Notes From New York, and Uptown Downtown. Real tasty, well recorded, laid back piano jazz.He's a fine pianist and a favorite of mine. "I'm Old Fashioned", "'S Wonderful", "Written In the Stars" are all well-recorded (actually, most of his albums are).
Late Night Jazz
I like to keep my late night listening sessions simple— my favorite leather chair, a small fire on a cold night, bourbon (neat), and jazz that has a beautiful simplicity. I often reach for Chet Baker: Chet (OJC-087). To me it is relaxed, intimate, uncomplicated. There just seems to be space between the notes, and they just float. I am looking for other suggestions like this. Preferably on vinyl. Thanks.

You guys are putting me to sleep! How's about Henry Threadgill's Too Much Sugar for a Dime. @bdgregory , Love the Professor (Lester). Died too darn young, heart attack. Maybe the best trumpet player who ever lived from a technical standpoint. |
