Great jazz and Rock unknown GEMS Share yours

Hello
I'm going to share my favs for jazz and rock that are out of the spotlight, so to speak.

rock= William Topley,any album (Black river, is a good place to start)

Jazz= Kazumi Watanabe, Mobo albums, 1 and 2

Got some great hidden treasures? share them so we can enjoy! This make the wonderful HIFI setups we have built so worth it. Many blessings to you and yours!

Rock: Either of Ray Davies recent solo albums. Working Man's Cafe is the more Kinkslike of the two.

Barrence Whitfield and the Savages.

Jazz: Lynne Arriale Trio - lyrical piano trio

Hayes Carll- Trouble in Mind, his most recent. Think Uncle Tupelo/Steve Earl-ish. Maybe. Kinda.

Manu Kache-Neighborhood. Gabriels sometime drummer jazz offering with Tomascz Stanko and Jan Garbarek.

Don't know if either is necessarily unknown, but certainly shouldn't be.
More to discover
