Looking for new to me Jazz music


Hi all,

With being home more now than ever, I want to expand my Jazz music library.  I really like Diana Krall, Brubeck, Miles Davis and Bird. I like the sounds from the trio’s, quartet’s and quintets, where you can Easily hear every note.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

Same question for you.  Any Renee Rosnes albums I should look for?

Was Eddie Henderson with a small group called Cookers or something like that?  I seem to remember putting that name on a list for me to check out.

Eddie “Lockjaw” Davis is Saxy!  Not sure I’ve ever heard him before, but I will be listening to more!
Thanks.

Just wanted to say thanks again to everyone who gave me leads on “New to me” jazz.

 I am happily listening to Chet Baker, Chet.

Thanks tablejockey,

It’s so easy to get lost  following the trail, but it’s so much fun!

Hi Morningstar,

I just got Lester Young with the Oscar Peterson Trio today and am enjoying it as we speak.  I’ll check We Get Requests.

Thanks.

Hi wolf,

 I have a Monk and a Pass CD somewhere (forget the titles).   Still unpacking from last fall’s move.  Any Titles you’d recommend for the people you listed?

Thanks.

Hi mahgister,

I’ve heard the Jerome Kern songbook and as I remember it was great.  I’m sure I’ll like the Cole Porter and Gershwin songbook albums.

Thanks.

JD
Thanks frogman for the suggestions.
Fred Hersch is great!
Kenny Barron is great!
But Hank Jones really makes me smile:)

I’m going to spend much of next week listening.

 I listened to some Renee Rosnes on YouTube last night and was pleasantly surprised.  Any albums I should check out?

Thanks.

Hello again hilde45,

It’s funny you mentioned The Tord Gustavsen Trio.  I ordered “The Other Side” by them a little while ago.  Not sure why it’s not here yet, but I bet C-19 has something to do with it.

Stay safe.

JD
swann36,

Great suggestions!  Buddy Rich is so much fun to listen to.  I remember listening with my dad YEARS ago.

Thanks for for putting a smile on my face.

Just listened to the Atzko Trio, playing at the Hakuju hall in 2016.

Very nice!

All the best.

Just wanted to say I’m now officially a Gary Peacock fan. I just listened to “Tangents” and I am very impressed!

tuzarupa,

Thanks for your reply.

 I have Ron Carter, San Sebastián and am eyeing a couple more.

 I have Ella in Berlin, with Jim Hall in the band, and will YouTube more.

Will also check out Clair Bley.

Stay Safe

Just listened to Keith Jarrett, Gary Peacock and Jack DeJohnette,

After the fall,  My foolish heart and Yesterday’s.

Still enjoying.

woodhart,

Isn’t Vince Guaraldi the guy who did all the peanuts music?😀

BTW, Early Hancock is great!

All the best.
