Four of a Kind by Jim Rotondi - Jim is the reigning bebop trumpet king.

Concert in the Garden by Maria Schneider - I think this won a grammy, a little intellectual, but nice record, lots to thinkn about from the best big band on the scene now. Recent record Sky Blue didn't do it for me.

I wanna try some of the new Blue Note vinyl reissues too.

Well, not really new - maybe new to some of us - but...

Chick Corea's Eye Of The Beholder. One of my favorite. A little ethereal on two cuts but very nice.

Chick Corea's Akoustic Band. A classic.

Newer (2002):

Wood by acoustic bassist Brian Bromberg

Cheers!

Robert,

I was incredibly lucky to see Chick at a small venue in the IU Memorial Union right after they released "Eye....." I had seen RTF and Chick with Gary Burton, but this performance ranks as one of my all-time favorite live events. The Akoustic band was simply astonishing--it was quite unbelievable they could keep all those egos in check.

Btw, I've heard very good things from Larry M about your speaks. I have an amp very similar to his.  aa

Cheers,
Gary in Bloomington

P.S. I forgot to mention: One Fair Summer Evening is also one of my faves! We must have very similar taste in music!

Good thread me thinks, Marv.  Couldn't get anywhere on that link, however.  The Lost Chords find Paolo Fresu (WATT/ECM) by Carla Bley and her quintet is a fine mellow brew, IMO, and something by Mulgrew Miller released in 1993 but picked up only recently by me, Hand in Hand (Novus).

[marvda1]

try the link now, don't know why copy didn't get all of the address the first time.

Try checking out Manu Katche's other album choices, Neighbourhood (2006) and It's About Time (1992). I have these 2 albums along with Playground,,,, all good stuff. 

For good acoustic guitar, I just downloaded a real good album, Steve Howe: Not Necessarily Acoustic (1993),,, the recorded sound has good body & tempo for a live recording. 

Cheers,
Robin

I like Slaughterhouse 3 a recent self-titled release that has the Tribal Tech rhythm section of Gary Willis and Kirk Covington <d> with Llibert Fortuny on sax. He really has many voices for his sax. Straight dry, overdriven through an amp/mic which makes me think if Hendrix played sax it would sound like this. He has other neat affects too. The album has a balance of up and down tempo tunes. Very cool! I like Wadada Leo Smiths new release "Tabligh" w/Ronald Shannon Jackson on drums and The "Miles from India"  CD where Miles tunes are done with an Indian flair and have original musicians from Miles bands over the years. Here is a link:

Thomas Marriott- Both Sides of the Fence (Origin). 

[satfrat]

Anders Widmark Trio: Soul Piano  (2004)


Dynamic soulful pianist from Sweden, this album just has a good rhythm to it. Couldn't find any samples of this hard to find album,,,, but it's definitely worth the search.

Jacqui Naylor: Jacqui Naylor (1999)

Hey I used to live in Bloomington! Are you going to see RTF in Indy next week? Wish I could be there.

Not super new. but;

Machacek, Garrison, Sipe - Improvison

The best modern fusion guitarist around teams up with world class bass player Matthew Garrison and drummer Jeff Sipe. Sound quality alone makes this worth a purchase.





John McLaughlin - Floating point

What else needs to be said, it's freaking John McLaughlin! Recorded in India with a combination of incredible western musicians and some of India's best modern musicians. Aaahhhhhhhh.......





Alan Pasqua - Anti Social Club

Pianist Pasqua gathers a great band for this great jazz CD. The band features the excellent young trumpeter Ambrose Akinmusire, along with Nels Cline on guitar, Jimmy Haslip on bass, Scott Amendola on drums, Alex Acuna on percussion, and Jeff Elwood on saxophones. Extremely good sound quality.

[doorman]

Simoon : Definitley on the same musical wavelength as you. I've not heard the Alan Pasqua (yet).
I agree the McLaughlin disc is outstanding, as are most of the Jonas Hellborg/Shawn Lane/Jeff Sipe offerings on "Abstract Logix".!

Doorman

Abstract Logix seems to be putting a lot of good stuff out.

Have you heard  Alex Machacek : [SIC] yet? Another great one with Terry Bozzio on drums.
