^^^Disregard the above rec, sorry I missed the Romantic Warrior artifact part and just saw modern jazz when I glanced at thread title. That said, The Vigil from a couple years back just might be in your wheelhouse, light on the guitar though.
Modern Jazz (as in recent) Music Suggestions
Like many a jazz lovers, I absolutely love the sound of the usual suspects - John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Dave Brubeck, Sonny Rollins, Stan Getz, etc.
I was wondering if anyone can recommend artists/groups from the more recent era (1995 and onwards) that maintain the same sonic signature but perhaps infuse their music with more modern (e.g. fusion, rock) artifacts ala Romantic Warrior.
P.S. Not a fan of 'big band' jazz or swing, but dig the bossa nova sound

Another vote for Kamasi Washington's "The Epic" as suggested by gsm18439. The only caveat is that while it's "modern" (a 2015 recording) parts of it sound very retro...like late Coltrane as per the Pitchfork review here: http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/20557-the-epic/ It is a LOT of music...3 hours on 3 CDs. Something else worth checking out: Chick Corea's Akoustic Band, "Alive". Great music and performances as well as excellent sonics - especially for a live recording. |
