tbh if there's one you'll like it might be this one

 

I've loved the two Sanders solo records I've heard (Karma and especially Thembi)

 

Guess i should check out the latest Esperanza Spalding record heh?

 

@DeviantRogue Yes, absolutely

 

To the queue it goes.

 

Musicians Institute's YouTube page has some great throwback clinic/performances. There's full video of the Buddy Rich Band, Ed Thigpen, Chuck Silverman, and some other guys who brought in bands and played at the school. Some good stuff hidden in there.

 

BNM'd, can't wait - not that Pitchfork is a huge reason I can't wait but maybe others will check it out!

 

Gotta check this out

 

Been listening to a lot of Ethiopian jazz music for the last few months. There's a really strong tradition of jazz / r&b / fusion in east Africa that was pretty instrumental in the Zulu Nation movement in hip hop. A lot of interesting stuff to be found!

East Africa Archives - Awesome Tapes From Africa

EDIT: I meant to post a Mulatu Astatke album, but this is good too!

 

Seein Vijay Iyer and Wadada Leo Smith tonight. Kinda freaking out.

 

Ahhh! I didn't even know they were touring on that but they're coming here next week! Gonna have to see what I can do. Report back!

 

Allison Miller has a new Boom Tic Boom alum coming out soon. Very excited for that.

I've also been listening to a ton of Tony Williams lately

 

Who are some jazz vocalists y'all like? Ella has to come up, and the Coltrane and Hartman record is an all-time favorite of mine.

 

Ella, Nina, Billie, Sarah Vaughn. Really like Diana Krall too

 

Can't believe I forgot Nina Simone! "Nina at the Village Gate" is perfection.

 

Dinah Washington, guys.

 

Salvant has been getting all the hype and deservedly so:

I'm partial to Gretchen Parlato too:

 

I'm really enjoying GoGo Penguin's new album Man Made Object. RIYL The Bad Plus.

 

man....

 

Hoooooooly shit. Know an album to start with? Preferably whatever that first song is on? Haha

 

Not sure if this has already been posted but I've been obsessed with the new album Spark by Hiromi, which has also gotten me into her 2014 album Alive.

 

Stretch Music, his latest. Amazing album, one of my favorites from 2015. Then, you can pretty much go wherever you want, but if you need some structure you can't go wrong working backwards.

 

Like, I am LOSING it at how much I like this Tiny Desk. Fuck.

I am now terrified the album will sound more sterile because the live room sound is so amazing for them.

 

It might. The TD is definitely another level. If you need some live stuff, his Live At Newport is as good as anything he's put out

 

Noted. I'll start with the record and adjust as necessary.

Thanks for posting this, man.
