Looking for new to me Jazz music
mahgister, I agree re Charlap; great recommendation from Wolf. Another great young(ish) piano player on the same level as Charlap, but different/brainier is Fred Hersch. Highly recommended: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_l-dq7Rf7velWkpuQDjh3BLLBm4f9TCofg An older Jazz piano master and probably my favorite living pianist is Kenny Barron. Be sure to also check out his work with Stan Getz: https://youtu.be/vofXNZPn4ow For something a little more “classic” try Hank Jones. Beautiful and very suave player: https://youtu.be/JBnAS4zgZFw |

I go on today like yesterday with Bill Charlap.... I like piano so much.... in jazz many plays acrobatics instead of controlled tender touch, they dont paint ,they hammer some set of nails... You have made my year truly.... I wish you the best.... How in the world is it possible that this truly musical pianist is not so more much known? Much of all others are on his shade side, except Bill Evans and a few others.... He is a always a poet.... Thanks.... |
Just listening youtube all day Bill Charlap...One of the finest pianist i ever heard in Jazz... Unknown to me... Finally i listen to some files with Scott Hamilton and him .... That will make my year.... I must just look for all the others albums .... :) Thanks wolf_garcia.... What a beautiful day.... Truly great pianist of jazz are rarer bird than most think.....For me tough.... Virtuosity is the least important quality, but for sure necessary.... Melodic sense an absolute must....(if not the pianist develop mannerism and virtuoso ready made formula) Mastering colors and shades and hues like playing Scriabin mandatory.... And then the pianist must have the spontaneous rythmical and timing qualities necessary to play with anyone even with only himself... :) Bill Charlap has all that.... |
I just listen to Bill Charlap on youtube and i will look for ALL his cd....Very great jazz pianist... Piano Jazz is indeed a difficult field ... It is easy for him.... Wow Thanks.... You made my day, and my week, probably my month, if not my year.... I love pianists jazz or classical but i am a bit too much asking, i ask lyrical more than virtuosity, and i want colors shades.... Few pianist gives the 3 at the same time.... It seems Bill Charlap is in this rare bunch.... Thanks.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zO4UmbBQTQw |
Mahgister...the recent trios from Julian Lage are astonishing (I mixed a show of his a few years ago...man...) Vijay Iyer’s "Break Stuff," Taborn’s "Chants," Mehldau’s trios are great...get ’em, get ’em all! Bill Charlap’s trios are also cool and tasty including a fave of Leonard Bernstein stuff called "Somewhere." |
If you like guitar the Joe Pass 4 cd "virtuoso" are the deal.... Musical and virtuoso at the same times but with a spontaneous gesture that is rare gift except for example in the best flamenco guitarist or the jazz one.... I love all Bill Evans but the consecration series is special.... Buy at least one Chet Baker album : " Chet".... and Enjoy.... :) |
"I just listened to Kenny Burrell , Midnight Blue and I enjoyed it." If you liked Kenny Burell, just Wiki him and see who he has played with and explore. Endless discovery. Classical, Jazz, Rock and all their sub categories are best going backwards-IMHO https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenny_Burrell |
Charles Lloyd - Fish Out of Water, The Water is Wide Charles can get out there, but these albums are pretty restrained, too restrained for some people Kenny Burrell - Midnight Blue A classic Blue Note album Joshua Redman - Wish Pat Metheny on guitar for this album Steve Cardenas - Blue Has A Range New guitar-led album, fits in with what you’re looking for Mark Isham - Blue Sun Played with Van Morrison in the 80s (trumpet), does a lot of movie soundtracks. This album is very ethereal and relaxing. You can find them all on Qobuz. |
