Dipping into Samara Joy's album Linger Awhile, with "Misty." She's nominated for two Grammy Awards, Best New Artist and Best Jazz Vocal Album, and whether or not she wins, deserves both.

Winton Marsalis' tone  sometimes sounds like him.

Bugge Wesseltoft: New Conception Of Jazz





This album offers, for me, a different take in terms of the concept of fusion. I find it to be both interesting and challenging. It does have its fair share of exciting episodes throughout the album. However, I find it to be too electronic based for my taste. It is certainly an innovative album in terms of its concept, approach and execution.

nor in competing for the favor of wayward friends.

Charlie Haden [with Hank Jones]: Come Sunday





Today being Sunday this just felt appropriate as these songs are good Jazz renditions of standard Gospel songs. This is an album based around the playing of a piano player and a double bass player. Both musicians deliver excellent performances in a very well performed and recorded album.

Yesterday afternoon, just a few hours before she won Best New Artist at the Grammys, Samara Joy gave this performance of "Can't Get Out of This Mood." Seriously, she is destined for stardom.

Quote from: vers la flamme on February 06, 2023, 04:33:53 PMDon't think I realized Miles ever recorded for BN. What do you think?


Sideman gig, but doesn't sound like a sideman.

Karl, I have a feeling that you may like his "Siesta."

After Samara Joy's version of this classic, I wanted to revisit another favorite version (there are quite a few), by Janis Siegel of the Manhattan Transfer, from her 1982 album Experiment in White. It still holds up magnificently.

Any deep cuts or hidden gems in his songwriting catalog you'd recommend?
