All That Jazz ...

Speaking of NHOP:

Oh, he's just fantastic. Had mentioned him in an earlier post where he appears along with Benny Carter and Ray Bryant in Norman Granz's Montreaux series. It's a must listen:

Newbie here. I did a quick thread search and found that Patricia Barber and her seminal album cafe blue was not mentioned once. It may be more blues than Jazz perhaps but i find this album technically near perfect and it has everything. Nice dark background, great mids, lovely layered and well separated highs and masterfully precise base. For anyone who has not heard Patricia Barber or Cafe blue, pls consider it highly recommended.

If there’s such a thing as an obscure Miles Davis album, ‘Aura’ would probably be it. It was the last album to be released in his lifetime, and stands head and shoulders above most of his 80s output.
While most of the musicians are Danish, it also features a few familiar names like John McLaughlin, Marilyn Mazur and, wait for it… NHOP

Here is Japanese Jazz. This person just plays his vinyl collection and enjoys it. This youtube channel is worth checking out.

Ahh..that is Ryo Fukui’s Scenery there …great album ..

Mccoy Tyner's debut album as a leader is such a refined and rewarding listen - I cannot recommend it enough. I've heard it on repeat over 3 spins and appreciate something new on each listen.





In the words of Coltrane himself from the liner notes :

Here's a new album Omega from saxophonist Immanuel Wilkins. I came across this album on Tidal and I liked it a lot. Hope you folks like it too.

A treat, indeed!
Just watched this myself and was totally taken in by Ron Carter’s charm.
I cannot believe this guy is 84 years old! A true legend.

I just watched this too - spellbound!
Oh to be living in NY in the 60s...

A change of pace for the fastest tenor in the world. "So, virtuosity is the beginning, and deeper personal expression, if it comes, arrives later, with maturity".

Karuna Supreme by John Handy, Ali Akbar Khan and Zakir Hussain. Beautiful interplay and jugalbandi between the players. And a mention of A Love Supreme in the Liner Notes.
