New Jazz Releases..What Do You Like?

Any new releases(not re-issues) in Jazz that you are enjoying listening to?

I would prefer real Jazz rather than the Kenny G smooth (?)music, but post what you like.

My current favorite newer release is Russell Malone's "Heartstrings" on Verve. Mr. Malone appears to have dumped the Buscarino for a DeAngelico New Yorker...and the sound is just superb.

So, let's hear what current Jazz you feel is worth a listen!

I'll second Moran; he's a facinating character. I tend to go for the classic stuff, however, so my favorite of the last year was Bill Charlap's take on Hoagy Carmichael, "Stardust." (Or maybe it was called "Skylark." I can never remember.) Includes such great "guests" as Tony Bennett, Frank Wess, and Jim Hall.

The Shorter Quartet got a lot of buzz (including a thread here). "Footprints Live" is a fine sample of their work.

Finally, I always look forward to something new from Jacky Terrasson. "Smile" just came out last week, so I haven't heard it yet.
