 Hello - Looking for new artists to listen to.I joined this club to get some more Jazz and Blues recommendations. I have quite a few Jazz CD's but I'm sure I could be missing out on some great artists that I just haven't heard of. At the moment I am likely to be listening to Kenny Burrell, John Coltrane, Nina Simone (Can't get enough of her voice) and a lot of modern electronic r&b/house. While the last is not Jazz as such, its definitely derived from it. I have grown apart from Blues a little as I think I overdosed a few years ago. Im sure I'll get back into it later on. What flavours do you all listen to? |

New Artist to listen to I grew up listening to John Coltrane. My favorite sax players in the modern era are Najee and Grover Washington. "The Best of Najee" and " The Best of Grover Washington" are worth listening to. Marc Antoine is an excellent guitarist you might want to check out. There are also a lot of remastered (Coltrane Era) cuts available from the old Blue Note Label, Hank Mobley saxophonist, Lee Morgan trunmpet player to name a few. |

Yes James Morrison is someone I have seen live a few times but I don't actually have any of his albums. A great thing about him is he likes to experiment with his instruments. He has an electric trumpet which he plays like a synthesizer. Great entertainment value watching and hearing him experiment with it. Definitely a big list to go through, and a few names I'm not familiar with. Thanks for that. I'll let you know how I go |

Allan Zavod Allan Zavod is a very interesting jazz accoustic and electric pianist in Melbourne, Australia. He was discovered by Duke Ellington, who got him into the prestigious Berklee School of Music in Boston, Massachusetts, USA. Upon graduation he played with Maynard Ferguson and can be heard on Ferguson's Cameleon LP, now also on CD, particularly on Chick Corea's composition, La Fiesta. He can be seen and heard on Ferguson's video DVD, Live at the Top. His latest CD, the Soundtrack for the movie "Death of a Soldier" features his own compositions on one of which there's a Jim Morrison trumpet solo. What does shutterbuggy Julia think of pianists Vince Guaraldi, Ray Bryant, Michel Petrucciani, Ahmad Jamal, Ramsey Lewis and Eliani Elias? Has anybody heard Jason Lindh, a dynamic Scandinavian flautist? |
