Jazz Recommendations

One of the best sources for building a jazz collection
is the Concord Records catalog. Great artists, great sounding recordings and great deals.

John Mclaughlin "Extrapolation".
In the similar vein to Miles "In A Silent Way"(add that to list as well)
Incredible melodic guitar . Absolute virtuoso performance.with `Sax Bass Drums.

Ray Brown Trio. 2 fer cd live "The Red Hot", and "Bam, Bam, Bam." Just excellent piano, bass, & drums. A swinging good time and excellent sound. There is some crowd noise, but to me it doesn't detract from the performances at all.

One more. Fritzel's Jazz Band. You probably have to go to New Orleans to get this one, at Fritzel's Europeon Jazz Club on Bourbon St. They have live jazz there most nights, really good New Orleans style jazz. Some of the best musicians in town jam there. The cd is a recording of basically the house band. Very nice.

Kenny Burrell
