Man.. Dr. Lonnie Smith died. He was one of the good ones. For anyone who cares, my favourite album of his is "Spiral", from 2010:

DUDE! No way! I ALSO picked up two discs after our Cellar discussion. I got the Ray Gallon disc because I love Kenny Washington from millions of other albums, and I know David Wong from The Vanguard Orchestra. It's a wonderful album with interesting compositions and great solos (especially...

Yes yes YES! That's EXACTLY what I'm talking about. I'm so happy that I'm not the only person who has noticed this :)

Hey all, I've got a question. So, this past weekend I went to see the Gilad Hekselman Trio in Montreal (first show I've seen in 1.5 years, woot-woot!), and he was playing in this new style of jazz that I've been hearing a lot of for the last decade or so. Can someone help put a name to this...

Omg omg omg OMG! A new 2021 Elvin Jones disc just arrived in the mail from the UK today! I'm the hugest fan of Elvin's bands. This one is from a radio broadcast in 1973. For those of you who know his bands, this one has the same personnel as "Live at the Lighthouse", with: Gene Perla...

Thanks! I have a couple Matana Roberts discs. The first Coin Coin one, and then the live version. Unexpectedly, I prefer the studio album.

Ha ha ha ha! That list of suggestions is the BEST! How am I going to get any work done today?!? THANKS!

Thank you! I will fo sho explore those suggestions. However, I am wary of certain terms you used, such as: Afrobeat, funk, and electronic fusion. These are not things I usually enjoy in my jazz... LOL! That being said, I'm fine with the way-out avant-guarde stuff.

VERY intriguing challenge: the London-jazz rabbit hole. I have NOT taken this journey. But, now I will. What are your top 3 picks to try out?

Speaking of Canadian jazz, for what it's worth, here are a bunch of my favourite jazz albums by Canadian artists (many can be found on vinyl):

Oh man, I'm soooo close to getting that Neil Swainson disc. He's such a great Canadian bassist! That being said, I've never bought anything they've put out on vinyl; only a bunch of their CDs.

Speaking of small Jazz labels, I came across this one (that's headquartered out of Vancouver) in a news article a few months back: All. I ended up getting a few discs.

Yes, it's a really great club; pretty small though ;)

Great question; ARE any of those "Live at Smalls" on vinyl? After having a quick look at the Smalls label website (Jazz Art & Education - SmallsLIVE Foundation) I'd say that their entire catalog (which is huge) is only on CD or digital download.

Awesome sauce! BTW, how was he? I've seen him a few times, but the last time I saw him (a few years ago with Dave Holland) he was sounding a bit mellow; even a bit sleepy.

What!?!? No way! The Mark Ribot album is on vinyl; that rocks!

That's the first Jim Hall album I ever heard; it's wonderful! I also dig a few other CTI records from that era, like these puppies:

I'm pretty new to these forums, so I wanted to know if it's cool to discuss jazz albums that are only out on CD? As I said on an earlier post, soooo many new jazz albums, as well as jazz albums from the the 90s, are not on vinyl, and probably never will be. And yet, many of these are...

I'm happy this topic got brought up; it inspired me to play "Interstellar Space". It's a pretty fun album.
