Nice.
Tanya has quite a nice dynamic range and and the drums really "pop" Most on the list are classics but one is a young singer from Newcastle - Zoe Gilby, working hard to make a name for herself. http://www.zoegilby.co.uk |

Maybe not essential in everyone's book, but Azar Lawrence's Summer Solstice is one of my personal favorites that seldom gets mentioned.

Here's one I played today that doesn't get talked about too much. Henderson's Blue Note albums are highly regarded but not everyone seems to know his early to mid 70s period on Milestone too well. IMHO this era of Henderson is every bit as awesome as his 60s work, just different. |

Hello,
My first post here. First thanks, to B. Kohl who was gracious enough to share some of his favorite music. The Great Jazz Trio - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Great_Jazz_Trio_at_the_Village_Vanguard |

Lots of great stuff listed here! I'd enthusiastically second John Coltrane & Johnny Hartman, Mingus Ah Um, and Sunday at the Village Vanguard, among many others folks have mentioned.
Here are a few current faves of mine I don't think I saw listed: - Gerry Mulligan Meets Ben Webster - Duke Ellington & John Coltrane - The Sidewinder - Lee Morgan - Monk's Music - Thelonious Monk Septet - Conversations with Myself - Bill Evans - Round about Midnight, Nefertiti, In a Silent Way - Miles Davis - Soap Suds, Soap Suds - Ornette Coleman & Charlie Haden For a more contemporary take on the genre, I loved Makaya McCraven's "Universal Beings" last year. He recorded four different ensembles live, then chopped up the recordings and used pieces of them as samples. Described by the label as "organic beat music." Andrew Cyrille's "Lebroba" with Leo Wadada Smith and Bill Frisell was my other favorite jazz release last year. |

^Lots of classics listed there, a few which I still need for my collection.
The Makaya McCraven album has been on my list to check out for awhile. In general, I've really enjoyed the contemporary UK scene. Maybe not something for purists but albums from Binker & Moses, Chip Wickham, and Moses Boyd all made my list of top albums for 2018.
