December 26, 20223 yr comment_901116 If you like jazz, you enjoy Ella Fitzgerald and want to have some fun, this is a must: Just let her warm up. It's a pity the recording sound quality is not stellar. Report

December 28, 20223 yr comment_901280 This is one of those things that some people say that is jazz, or nu.jazz... whatever. I had to listen to it despite I didn't like their previous output, for it receiving accolades and making many "best of" lists. The Comet is Coming - Hyper-Dimensional Expansion Beam If you like Ornette Coleman and such you might enjoy it. Report
December 28, 20223 yr comment_901287 ^^ enjoyed. 50yo Paul Simon Paul Simon 1972 https://album.link/i/380588824 Example: Well, not a great album. I really like Example track or course, but pretty thin beyond that. It does not seem that he found his solo voice until later on. Edited December 28, 20223 yr by mikeymad Report
December 28, 20223 yr comment_901295 Vadim Neselovskyi - Odesa Another jazz album that made the top 2022 lists and that I hadn't listened to. To me a lot more enjoyable than TCIC's one. This one is not classic jazz by any means, it's rather lyrical and has very interesting moments. The pianist is virtuosoborderline. Report
December 28, 20223 yr comment_901299 Not a fan of TCIC after listening to Hyper... It just sounds like techno. I guess because they sample a sax, that makes it jazz? Report
December 28, 20223 yr comment_901301 A Southern Gothic Adia Victoria 2021 https://album.link/i/1578879750 Example: Really enjoyed this album from Adia (new to me). Very well recorded and her signing techniques are top notch. I will have to listen again for content, and check out her other works. Report
December 29, 20223 yr comment_901323 Béla Fleck & Abigail Washburn Béla Fleck, Abigail Washburn 2014 https://album.link/i/1440952694 Example: Lovely blend of clawhammer and bluegrass styles, along with Abigail's singing. Report
December 29, 20223 yr comment_901329 The Secret Piano Alexis Ffrench 2009 https://album.link/i/342515423 Example: Relaxing piano works for the end of the day. Man I listened to a lot of albums today. Many I didn't post because they were not worthy. But I liked Alexis' album, and also listened to his most recent stuff as well. This is a mood thing for me, and I was in the mood. Report

Well, I think it's not just because it's sampling a sax, but the sax is played fiercely and dissonantly Report

Now: Carte Blanche Jean-Yves Thibaudet 2021 https://album.link/i/1578540196 Example: 24 tracks in an hour 20! Lots of playing. Example is one of the fast works. I really appreciated the collection of pieces that I didn't know that well. Some I will explore a bit more. Good recording and performance. Don't know if I have heard Jean-Yves before or not but will check out catalog. Edit: Oh yeah, I remember looking like this (1990) What's up with everyone getting older?
