What Jazz are you listening to now?

[Serial_Apologist]

Thanks S_A. Those big lush orchestrations don't really appeal to me. Liane Carroll, mentioned by gradus, was great though. I much preferred the more intimate performances broadcast later from the Pizza Express Jazz Club.

Ah well, fifty percent approval is better than nothing. But I'd better not say I thought Trifonov's Transcendental Studies are a bit too manic for my liking or I'll be barred.

[Ian Thumwood]

I don't know what had happened to Paul Giallorenzo's new album which is only currently available as a download. Never mind.

Here is an earlier DP group with a number of my favourite musicians in. Don't understand why Frank Rosaly and Dave Rempis don't get their dues but I would imagine that Jazzrook will appreciate this.
