Requests for Music Reviews


I am about to start working on another jazz review, and would like suggestions regarding artists. I had tentatively decided to do a piece on tenor saxist David Murray, with commentary on 4-5 of his better albums. However, I'd like to know about other jazz artists that are of interest to the members. My LP and CD collection contains a pretty good sample of the work of most of the major and minor jazz artists, so please feel free to suggest anyone of interest.

One area that I am interested in are the 60 to 90s period of Miles Davis' career. I am new to jazz as I am to audio. One seemed to follow the other. I got some of the recommended releases from Penguin. I really enjoy Miles' sound, KOB, Somethin Else and Miles Smiles, it is so distinctive. I just picked up his Tribute to Jack Johnston and was completely entranced last night. I'm not sure but I think this album is a precursor to fusion and what the kids are listening to, is it hip hop or house music? This may be a pedestrian request but any insight into this period including recommended artists and albums would be greatly appreciated.

Regards
