Hey you jazz people

[Twofootputt]

My jazz exposure is limited to older stuff.
Monk
Coltrane
Brubeck

Want to listen to some newer things.

Thanks in advance for your input. Merry Christmas to all.

There are a number of people here who like The Bad Plus. Keith Jarrett's a classic but he's still alive and touring so I don't know how that fares.

I tend to stick to the classics as well, so I'm not too much of a help

Well "jazz" is wide open term too. Lots of different types. It's like saying "I like rock music"

I'm not to up on newer stuff, but you simply can't go wrong with the classics like Anita O'Day, June Christy, Keaten, Calloway and the likes. That is some great great shit.

Check out Branford Marsalis and Roy Hargrove. I'm with you though, I really need to expand my jazz collection.

 

[Feanor727]

Terrence Blanchard is pretty good...

Also, Bela Fleck and the Flecktones

 

[WaTaGuMp]

Listening to Bad Plus now. Nice tight sound.

Thanks Feanor727. I caught Bela Fleck a few years ago at the University of Buffalo. I forgot about him. Will sample Blanchard.

I'm not a jazz purist, and so I tend to prefer the smooth jazz genre. This includes artists such as:

Paul Hardcastle (Jazzmasters)
Peter White
Chris Botti
Keiko Matsui
Candy Dulfer
Fattburger
Marc Antoine
Euge Groove
Soulride
Richard Elliot

And so forth.

Chick Corea -- Now He Sings, Now He Sobs (probably one of the greatest jazz albums ever)
Return to Forever (Chick Corea) -- Return to Forever
Miles Davis (anything, Kind of Blue, Milestones, all of it)
Weather Report is good
