ursus13 Posted February 14, 2023 Author Share Posted February 14, 2023 Tsuyoshi Yamamoto Trio, Blues for K. This recording is pretty special. Just released a couple weeks ago. Exquisite piano jazz by a guy who gets better and better with age. (He’s in his mid 70s.) If you like Bill Evans this is worth a listen. Available streaming. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audioNeil Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 Rather than creating a new topic, this seems to be a good place to mention the Jazz album I listen to the most. "Play Dave Brubeck" by Feenbrothers This is from Sound Liason: https://www.soundliaison.com/index.php/14-one-mic-recordings/453-new-the-feen-brothers-one-mic-recording I listen to a lot of Jazz, but mostly female vocal. I'm not an expert in Jazz by any means. I just know what I like. This is purely instrumental. This album is the best recorded album in my collection, and it always makes me relax and smile as I listen. That's the bottom line - how it makes me feel. This is recorded by a single stereo mic, on a carefully set-up soundstage, before a live audience. The performance has to blend, as there is no way to fix the mix afterward, so the musicians have to listen to each other, and they seem to give a restrained performance, but with intensity. The musicianship is excellent, and the performance is just plain fun. The sound quality is just amazing. The soundstage is clear in its dimensions, and the instruments sound as they should. There is no bloated bass, and no harsh highs. Just realistic sound that you can listen to at low volume or high volume, and still enjoy. I prefer to listen at a level that approximates what it would be at a live performance, and I close my eyes, and can imagine I'm in the first row. I'd love to hear if anyone else has enjoyed this album. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

audioNeil Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 @Steve Edwards I believe this is digital only. My vinyl setup isn't good, so I'm happy with high-res digital. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ursus13 Posted July 20, 2023 Author Share Posted July 20, 2023 Hi fellow jazz fans, Three excellent albums I feel like I need to shout about from the rooftop. I've never heard a band like Snarky Puppy. It's a veritable killers-row of studio session musicians (of 25+ members) and they have putting out seriously innovative jazz for 20 years. (I only recently discovered them.) https://snarkypuppy.com/home Their vinyl is very good and the customer service from their web store is top notch. They are currently on tour as well, if you want to see them live. And the third record: I posted about this Scolohofo album earlier in the thread, after I saw them live, but now I have heard this album on vinyl, and I feel confident saying that it is the single best sounding vinyl record I have heard. I have the 180g Blue Note Tone Poet Series 2 LP vinyl. The music is excellent, but the sound quality of this record is staggering. https://store.bluenote.com/collections/vinyl/products/scolohofo-scofield-lovano-holland-foster-oh-2lp-blue-note-tone-poet-series?_pos=1&_sid=b5038599f&_ss=r Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkeske Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 (edited) @ursus13 IMO, anything Holland is involved with is worth a listen. Every time. 👍🏼 Edited July 20, 2023 by bkeske 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Off the top of my head I have : The Dave Holland Big Band, What Goes Round & Overtime The Dave Holland Sextet - Pass It On And an interesting LP with Holland, John Hartford, and Vasser Clements But have streamed others of his work, and other LP’s he was on. A real talent. Always on first rate releases. Brian Edited July 21, 2023 by bkeske Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruskie Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 thanks @ursus13 for the heads up. I'll stream SCOLOHOFO tonight and my guess I'll probably buy it as I have a few Schofield LPs. I like your list Brian. I'll check them out too. Bruce 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DogsPart2 Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 (edited) Love me some Snarky Puppy as well. In a similar, but older, vein still enjoy these classics from the 70s Edited September 5, 2023 by DogsPart2 add files Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ursus13 Posted September 17, 2023 Author Share Posted September 17, 2023 Here are two innovative artists/records. Both are available streaming and on vinyl. The Dominique Fils-Aime record is one of the records I play for people sitting in the sweet spot for the first time. It reliably blows them away. Incredible recording of mostly her jazz style vocals with sparse instrumentation. The Quatro CTs love this record. McCraven is a jazz drummer and producer. In These Times is refreshing, really slick vanguard jazz with odd meter hip-hop style rhythms. Super cool cutting edge musician. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctsooner Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 It’s sept 21. Think Earth Wind and Fire today my friends. 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ursus13 Posted November 12, 2023 Author Share Posted November 12, 2023 Jazz/Rock. Session musicians who formed a band. Drummer and bassist from Portishead. I stumbled across them on a jazz artist radio mix on Tidal with their track Sunwise. Pallett is the album that just released, it’s very cool, spacey, jazz.

ursus13 Posted November 27, 2023 Author Share Posted November 27, 2023 This is an outstanding album, pretty unique. Really sings on the Quatros and shows what they can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
