Well-produced recent jazz cd's - recommendations?

Tia Fuller - Decisive Steps. Tia on Sax with her female band. Guest appearance on a few tracks is Christian Mcbride. I have to mention Kim Thompson on drums. You will end up reading the liner notes a few times in disbelief that it IS actually a woman drummer!!
Nice energy and composition on this one!

the German label Nagel Hayer has put out 40 or so CD's in the past 20 years --- all phenomenal. Most of them are recorded live --- with the best sonics of any live jazz ever recorded. And wow... there is some awesome music on that label.

I generally listen to jazz that was recorded between 1955 - 1963 --- probably 85-95% of my listening is from the 400 CD's i have from that period. For the remaining 10-15% --- well is it almost entirely Nagel Hayer CDs. The variety of jazz is vast at that label and it is all OUTSTANDING.

Recording quality is better than Mapleshade, Reference Recordings or other audiophile labels --- and unlike those labels (where the music tends to be ranging from crap to decent) --- the music ranges from really good to amazing.

Look them up!

"No doubt I'll be buying more Anat Cohen!"

I'm a big Anat Cohen fan(and her label; ANZIC)! 1st heard her at a used CD shop, goin' thru the racks, I saw this dbl CD that had the print sides printed to look like LP's! I never heard of the band or the musicians but figured 'what the heck' and brought it to the in-store listening station. The band - The Waverly 7 - Yo Bobby! A great record that served to introduce me to a new group of musicians, highly recommended! Since than I own 95% of Cohen's discography, she's a very gifted artist. I strongly recommend her Big Band record; 'Noir' featuring the Anzic Orchestra. She's released 2 live at the Village Vanguard records, the 2nd; 'Clarinetwork...' featuring her only on clarinet (obviously!) is terrific! While she favors different group configurations from disc to disc, they uniformly all sound great!
