Post What Jazz You're Listening To

Oscar Peterson, holy smokes, I can listen to this man for days.  The perfect amalgamation of delicate sensitivity and brawling muscle.

Oh, you really must.  Julian Lage is a mindblowing talent.  Check out his jazz, to be sure, because it's excellent, but also check out his stuff in a bluegrassy vein with Chris Eldridge of the Punch Brothers.  Too much talent to confine to a single genre.

I found myself stuck at the desk for some extra hours tonight filling out regulatory paperwork (woohoo!) so I took advantage of the opportunity. Listened to World’s Fair and Avalon, I liked them both immensely. I found myself frequently thinking of Leo Kottke. Which I consider high praise! I look forward to listening to more. Although I could do without any more regulatory paperwork.

A Gypsy Jazz classic for you.

YOU GUYS check out this wonderful performance by the Gilad Hekselman Trio.  GH has a tremendous gift for invention both as an improviser and as a sonic artist - the dude is a wizard with the effects.  Please to be enjoying.

"Spring Is Here" performed by Jon Herington

Jon Herrington has been the guitar player for Steely Dan for quite some time. If you are interested, he has some arrangements books available.

Jon Herington Arrangements For Guitar

Also recommended is his Ear IQ course on Truefire.

Great stuff, those Herington arrangements.  Which led me to listen to his solo guitar arrangement of Donald Fagen's "Maxine," which I had no memory of ever having heard in the original.  I feel comfortable posting Fagen in the "Post what Jazz You're Listening To" thread.  Listen to the gorgeous vocal arrangement.  So sublime.

I almost posted Herington's arrangement of Maxine, and of course, I think it is appropriate for this thread.

Al Jarreau live in Hamburg 1976, when he was still much more primarily a jazz singer, before he broke big in the pop arena:

Bonus track from his "Look to the Rainbow" live record, a lovely gospel flavored uplift, "Could You Believe", which gets me in the guts every time.

Ted Greene - Send In The Clowns

Ted Greene's Chord Chemistry book I have owned for around 40 years. Each time I look at it there is more treasure to be found.

Cantaloupe Island featuring Herbie Hancock / Blue Note Concert Live - HD

Featuring Freddie Hubbard, Joe Henderson, Herbie Hancock, Ron Carter and Tony Williams.

 

[bagman67]

I love that particular performance of Cantaloupe Island.  Freddie Hubbard just burns the place down.  Great grab, Stratamania.

 

[bagman67]

Herb Ellis and Remo Palmier co-headline this date, with Ron Traxler on drums and George Duvivier on bass.  A masterclass in understatement.  Not adventuresome jazz, but authoritative in its approach.  They actually play the intro to "Stardust"!

Recently, when I'm in a jazz mood, I've been switching between The Kandinsky Effect:

And Portico Quartet:

I really like they way they both use effects to achieve their sounds.

Yes totally agree. I just happened across it and thought it needs to go in the thread.

This is a fun song to play on guitar:

Bill Frisell doing that thing he does where he takes a collection of songs, puts it through the transmogrifier in his brain, and cranks out beautiful music that may or may not be jazz but is incredible.
