What JAZZ are you listening to?

Downbeat critics named Sonnu Rollins artist of the year and his new release as record of the year. Way to go old man.

A collection of Edith Piaf songs. More caberet of course but it feeds the jazz side of me.

The Rosenberg Trio

Jimmy Rushing "The Essential..."

Art Tatum "Group Masterpieces Vol 1"
w/ Benny Carter

Art Tatum "Group Masterpieces Vol 8"
w/ Ben Webster

Jeanne Lee "The Newest Sound Around"

Sheila Jordan "Portrait of Sheila"

Diana Krall. Elvis Costello you are one lucky SOB.

Personal Mountains - Keith Jarrett (and Jan Garbarek et al.) This CD is surely one for the time capsule (...ooh there's a thread idea).

And then the rougher (but equally interesting, and recorded a day or two later or earlier) Nude Ants - Keith Jarrett (and Jan Garbarek et al.)

John Coltrane - Intersteller Space

What a trip from 1965. just Coltrane and a drummer. Not for the feint of heart.

The Five Peace band with Chick Corea, John Mclaughlin, Christian Mcbride, Kenny Garrett and Vinnie Calaiiuta. Quite a powerhouse. And thankfully is far more than simply Return to Forever meets Majavishnu. this band created anew, and impressively.
