All That Jazz ...

Christian McBride Band live at Tonic. There are 3 CDs. This is the second. Has some mind-blowing jams. The third one too. I love this sort of improvisations and jamming. Sort of segues into jam rock/jazz as well.

Thanks for the reminder, Avinash! Great for a slow burning Sunday afternoon with a chilled beverage at hand
The addition of Charlie Hunter is a big plus. If you haven’t already, do check out Medeski, Martin and Wood, and their collaborations with John Scofield, as well. The quintessential jam band. Will post some pix later.

Not strictly jazz but I can't help but compare this guitarist to George Benson! He has the same smoothness and flow punctuated by a staccato style (though not as pronounced as Benson's).

Fantastic, thanks for the reco. I have listened to Scofield and MMW but not their colab. Love their sound and jams. Will give these a listen.

Louis Moholo Octet - Spirits rejoice. Some beautiful jazz from South Africa. My pick of the album is "wedding hymn (Matshikiza)" blends nicely into this other track called,
You ain't gonna know me 'cos you think you know me. Part of the record is sombre and the other a carnival (I mean that in a good way). Horn playing extravaganza. Dig the trombone playing here.
PS I took a shot at photography with my old phone.

I’ve probably posted this before, but worth a reboot.
Below is a print campaign for Nikon sunglasses.
Pretty sure the Art Director on the account is a jazz buff

“I hope listeners are able to find their truth in it,” RonMiles said of RainbowSign. “That when they hear it, it'll make them think of something, make them feel something that's special & unique to them. Wherever you are in your journey hopefully it'll speak to you in some way”

It did for me.

Ron Miles - Trumpet
Bill Frisell - Guitar
Jason Moran - Piano
Thomas Morgan - Bass
Brian Blade - Drums

Discovered this, fusion but rooted in bebop.

They also make spectacle lenses. A logical extension, I guess.

Ron Miles - Trumpet
Bill Frisell - Guitar
Jason Moran - Piano
Thomas Morgan - Bass
Brian Blade - Drums

What a lineup!

Such beautiful tone @Fiftyfifty. Was sorry to hear of his passing. Loving the music. Thanks for introducing me to the music of Ron Miles.

Yes, the tone of the trumpet is amazing, isn't it! On some tracks its the cornet, popularized in jazz by the amazing Bix Biederbecke. Another notable feature is how Jason Moran, Bill Frisell and Brian Blade, all bigger names than Ron, are so subdued in their roles, allowing Ron to set the mood most of the time.

Oscar Peterson album tonight.

He can really swing.

@Jayant_S
If you can get your hands on True Blue, grab it. Not just his best album on BN, but an iconic cover as well.

@sunilj
Any idea if the EST concert with Pat Metheny has been released on cd? Would love to get my hands on that.

I liked this record and would also recommend this one :


Oscar Peterson comes in on a couple of tracks and the band includes Herb Ellis and Ray Brown
