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.

Check out West Coast Jazz from the 50s and early 60s. Groups like The Lighthouse Allstars, Cal Tjader, and Shelley Mann and His Men. West Coast Jazz tends to be a more melodic form of jazz and is quite beautiful.

I agree.  Cal Tjader especially, just lovely music... and of course his understudy and modern day version Poncho Sanchez!
billy childs new album called ACCEPTANCE

lovely

very well recorded too

cut 5 'it never entered my mind' is spectacular... the double bass and piano is in your space, playing just for you...  :)
eddie henderson - just terrific

newest album called shuffle and deal

lovely straight ahead jazz with eddie on lead trumpet -- beautifully recorded too
