All That Jazz ...

[coaltrain]

Then I highly recommend the manga series Blue Giant

Ordered!
Again, what an amazing discovery for me!
Thanks, Sushant and Ace, for sending me hurtling down another rabbit hole

I was hearing some excellent music by Carla Bruni on Spotify. Do take a look at her English language covers. They're outstanding!

Not clear what this is:
BLUE GIANT 『SUPREME』『EXPLORER』『MOMENTUM ...

Does this compilation also figure in the Anime in addition to the Hiromi soundtrack?

Blue Giant Supreme is the sequel to Blue Giant. It hasn't been adapted into an anime yet. This playlist contains the iconic jazz standards that the characters in the manga are seen listening to or practising with.

Anything new you guys are listening to? Something from lets say 2020+ I have been trying to find some new Jazz music - nothing has hit the spot yet.

Have you checked out the Blue Note Re:Imagined series? Basically, Blue Note called on the brightest stars from the current UK jazz scene to reinterpret famous tunes from their catalogue. The first volume was released in 2020, and the second in 2022. They're both really good IMO.

As for albums, these are some of my favs since 2020:
Jaubi - Nafs at Peace
Floating Points & Pharoah Sanders - Promises
Embryo - Auf Auf
Nala Sinephro - Space 1.8
Makaya McCraven - In These Times
Idris Ackamoor & The Pyramids - Shaman!
Atlantis Jazz Ensemble - Celestial Suite
William Parker - Migration of Silence Into and Out of the Tone World
Nduduzo Makhathini - In the Spirit of Ntu
Natural Information Society - Since Time Is Gravity
Vijay Iyer - Uneasy
Matthew Halsall - An Ever Changing View

This one is the ‘newest’ album I’ve heard recently, released last year.
Also mentioning it as I had erroneously stated that it was an electronic big band in a previous post, based on a few samples I heard prior to buying. My bad!
All acoustic lineup, but the music is electric

Enjoying the magical variations ,remarkable dry signature tone of Lee and the nimble bass of Mitchell.

 

[sameer kumar]

Exciting & spontaneous interplays of Lee & Brown

 

[sameer kumar]

Burly,soulful & wistful tones..
Best herd during the night ..very emotive.

@sameer kumar thanks for the Lee Konitz recommendations.
Found this while looking up his discography.

[sameer kumar]

Felt bit unusual tone from Archie’s Sax but all other sidemen are very good

 

[sameer kumar]

Great Live session.. passionate play of Sax in tandem backed by bluesy piano.

 

[sameer kumar]

Well recorded beautiful new music!

 

[himadri]

Tonight's listening.

Recently discovered the 10 Minute Record Review channel on YouTube. Short, informative videos on a ton of jazz and classic rock albums. Also has longer videos on famous jazz labels.

 

[sameer kumar]

Thank you for the videos coaltrain!
I just dived in to vinyl world couple of months back and started collecting all the album dear to me . Most of them I already have in CD & Hi res format but it’s a whole new experience.
I feel like expressing my listening experience here as and when I spin my new finds..

Cheers
