Came across it when I was checking out the Mushroom Hour label after falling in love with Umdali. I really like that one and Group Theory as well from that label

For several years, I mostly purchased jazz albums that are older than I am. What would be your single best recommendation for a jazz album made in the past five years?

My tastes in the past have leaned toward hard bop and modal jazz, but I have recently purchased and enjoyed Theon Cross, Samara Joy, Gregory Porter, Sons of Kemet and Kamasi Washington. Cyrus Chestnut is probably my favorite living jazz artist.

The Epic, released 8 years ago, would be my recommendation for a jazz album released in recent years. Makaya McCraven – Universal Beings is another I could recommend.

Group Theory is great! Must check on Umdali. I also recommend Asher Gamedze's Dialectic Soul, not on Mushroom but on On Out Own Clock too.

Source by Nubya Garcia is quite good, from a few years ago. That whole London jazz scene is

tbh.

New Muriel Grossmann up for grabs. Limited to 1500. Pro tip, it’s way cheaper on the RRGems website compared with Bandcamp.

Heres one for the J-Jazz fans.

Well this is exciting, a formally CD only album released in 1991.

The latest in the BBE J-Jazz series.

Celebrating my first ever not-a-reissue Strata East title, Piano Choir “Handscapes” (1st press). It was graded visually M- but two sides were definitely not close to M-, and I’ve received a partial refund. There’s a Pure Pleasure reissue of this that supposedly is quite good. Perhaps not the most sought after S-E title, but I dig it, and despite all of it not being M-, it’s pretty good overall.

As bonuses, it came with the program notes for the 1972 performance that is the source of all but one of the tracks and Boston Globe news coverage from a 1974 performance by the Piano Choir.

As double extra bonus (to me, at least), the flip side of the news article has contemporaneous movie listings for Exorcist, Serpico, and Sleeper.

There are two other records to be released on the same day as Muriel's. One is new Soft Power and the second is Organic Pulse Ensemble. I'll give a listen to Kadef and something tells me I'll put an order through RRGems very soon.

Bit of an odd one but the Pizza Express Jazz Club here in London now has their own record label.

Really great idea imo, the live jazz there is always fantastic.

The first 2 albums are available for pre-order, the Scott Hamilton Quartet and Mamas Gun. Im not actually familiar with either of these BUT the Scott Hamilton group includes Dave Green, who is a legendary bassist that played on the Don Rendell/Ian Carr Quintet's Lansdowne releases.

Given the crazy early deaths of so many big names in jazz, it’s nice to see that some of these recent deaths are at the end of relatively long lives. Always sad, but great they were alive for as long as they were.

The longevity of this generation of musicians is really amazing. RIP Ahmad Jamal.

zdkaiser · Apr 17, 2023

RIP to another legend. Been listening to this one this morning.

Great version of Bogota on this album, love the cover art as well.
