Loving their new album, as well as the Family Dinner disc they put out earlier this year. Probably the best current Jazz ensemble out there right now.

Dennis Chambers: Tipitinas - with Mike Stern - 2015

What happens at 4:15 is just insane, Dennis just totally freaks out but Mike and Kennedy just keeps on together like glue. Even me who calls myself a drummer have a hard time finding the beat.  :lol

New Fire! Orchestra is, of course, absolutely goddamn brilliant, though not quite as good as their last one.

Listening to one of Pat Metheny's newest albums "Cuong Vu Trio Meets Pat Metheny" and it is one of the darkest albums I've ever heard. It sounds like 70s King Crimson and 70s Miles Davis blended with Pat's signature sound. Quite a contrast to much of Pat's upbeat, celebratory music. This is some cool jazz, man. I don't know if you can even call it jazz. Quite an interesting album. Go in with zero expectations.

Didn't even know Pat released a new album, awesome. Will have to check this out. I've really enjoyed Vu's involvement on the last few PMG albums...he has a very unique style.

The Unity Sessions
Live: Montreal '89
Cuong Vu Trio Meets Pat Metheny
Shift (Logan Richardson album w/ Pat on every track)

and one in 2015

Can you believe I've never listened to that? That's changing right now. I'm listening to it on Spotify. I'm already entranced by the first song. It has this hauntingly beautiful mood to it.  I also love that John McLaughlin plays on it, probably one of the greatest to pick up the instrument.

Miles is the bluesy jazz. If u like horn/trumpet players check out Maynard Ferguson. upbeat jazz and the dude can play a high note like nobody ever

That is awesome. As a former trumpet player I always appreciated a good horn section.

So I've been digging Bohren & der Club of Gore quite a lot these last months - both Sunset Mission and Black Earth are amazing, really unique take on jazz that I love. Probably because these guys were in hardcore/grindcore bands before going full dark jazz :lol

Also, new compilation is out, "Bohren for Beginners", and includes new song Der Angler which is excellent - guitars are back  :o

I don't know what album it was, but when I tried those guys out, I found myself literally counting the seconds between each time the drummer tapped the hi-hat because there was just nothing else to hold my attention. I took it as a sign and moved on.

Aside from the new Fire! Orchestra, the only jazz I've listened to lately is tons of Nina Simone. Oh, and Eric Dolphy's Out to Lunch made it onto my iPod for some reason.

You probably tried either Black Earth or Geisterfaust - the last one is really, really slow. Go with Sunset Mission, definitely not that slow-paced, most songs are pretty direct and don't take much time building up or whatever. Dunno, I just love their sound  :corn

Dave Weckl and Tom Kennedy

Two masters trading solos. It's so cool to see how well synced they are together and how well they listen and play of eachother rythms and licks.

Have a bunch of Weckl albums but nothing by Kennedy. Worth further investigation.

He's played on most of Weckls solo albums as far as i'm aware. He's played with a ton of people but I guess he's most  known for what he's done with Weckl and Mike Stern.
He's amazing, i've seen him live once with Dave Weckl Band and he's an amazing player. I remember one time during one of his bass solos, he was deep into a fast part and suddenly he started to talk with Weckl about something and all of a sudden they bursted out laughing and all that happened during his solo while his hands just kept on playing like nothing. He was so incredibly relaxed, i've never seen anything like it.

I should probably know that but the last one I listened to was Hard Wired and he's not on that one. But that was album from like '94 of something so maybe he wasn't on Weckl's earlier records?

He's played on most (or all, not sure) of Weckl's albums.
Sidenote, while Dave Weckl is no doubt an amazing drummer and one of my favorites, the best albums of his are always with Jay Oliver on keyboards. The others I just can't get into. I'm not sure how much input Oliver has on the songs (I think they composed most together) but the style is much different from the DWB albums without him. He is one of the most underrated keyboardists out there in my opinion, along with Eli Winderman.

Honestly i'm not that into Weckls solo stuff, there's some cool stuff of course but for me i'm more a fan of his style of drumming. I'm more into the albums he did with Michel Camilo and Chick Corea.

That's how I discovered him...through those Corea GRP albums. He's also the reason why I got Rendezvous though Camilo is probably the reason I still have it.

I just love this, the way they play of eachother and have fun and later joins together in Armando's Rumba. They're so well synced together it's amazing.

Saw Mezzoforte tonight celebrating their 40 year anniversary. Can't beleive they been around for so long, their drummer hasn't aged one bit. Funky and tight as always, they also had a singer doing some tunes and honestly it lifted the band to new heights.  :tup

Oz Noy's "Chocolate Souffle"

Holy polyrythm! That guitar riff/line is just out of this world. It's just floats there independently from everything.  :lol That guitar solo is so tasty though.
