Looking for new to me Jazz music

This man tought himself piano at 22 and recorded that album "scenery" at 28...

Not only this is a very good jazz album but very original playing....

All the 4 albums i have listen to are good.... Unknown but with some genius indeed....

Ryo Fukui...

If you like piano trio check Eddie Higgins trio....

Very good sound generally and i like pretty much all his cd....




And if you want real unknown treasure try these 2 albums:

Walt Dickerson (vibraphone) and Sun Ra (piano)....

"Visions" and "impressions of a patch of blue"

Dickerson is a genius and it is not all day that Sun Ra work second fiddle to a musician on 2 albums.....If you want to know why, listen to this vibraphonist, one of the best there ever is....The communication between these 2 giants are phenomenal....

It is not bop but anyway, jazz at his best.....For me these 2 albums are on par with "kind of blue" but less known because a bit less commercial....Not good album tough for beginners in jazz....

Renee rosnes:

"black Narcissus"

"beloved of the sky"

Oh yes, Renee Rosnes is amazing! Her piano is so good, I can listen to it for hours.

If you already know and like her, try this one less known also but very good pianist with his own distinctive fingers vocabulary....

Tsuyoshi Yamamoto....

Bill Charlap is good.... But try his wife.... She is amazing also and different....

Renee Rosnes.... And she is not well known..... :)

Thanks for this japan jazz trios recommendation...

My best to you....

Thanks very much frogman....

I will look for all....

In the meantime try Eddie higgins trio.... On par with Charlap...

But surprizingly the wife of Charlap, Renee Rosnes seems to be the unkwnown genius....

A great artist....None of what i listen to for now is short of being at least very good....

I just discover also that his wife Renee Rosnes is a wonderful jazz pianist to my liking also....

Thanks to the second power....

I go on today like yesterday with Bill Charlap....

I like piano so much.... in jazz many plays acrobatics instead of controlled tender touch, they dont paint ,they hammer some set of nails...

You have made my year truly.... I wish you the best.... How in the world is it possible that this truly musical pianist is not so more much known?

Much of all others are on his shade side, except Bill Evans and a few others....

He is a  always a poet....

Thanks....

Just listening youtube all day Bill Charlap...One of the finest pianist i ever heard in Jazz... Unknown to me... Finally i listen to some files with Scott Hamilton and him ....

That will make my year.... I must just look for all the others albums ....

:)

Thanks wolf_garcia.... What a beautiful day....

Truly great pianist of jazz are rarer bird than most think.....For me tough....

Virtuosity is the least important quality, but for sure necessary....
Melodic sense an absolute must....(if not the pianist develop mannerism and virtuoso ready made formula)
Mastering colors and shades and hues like playing Scriabin mandatory....
And then the pianist must have the spontaneous rythmical and timing qualities necessary to play with anyone even with only himself... :)

Bill Charlap has all that....

Listen to that....

I just listen to Bill Charlap on youtube and i will look for ALL his cd....Very great jazz pianist... Piano Jazz is indeed a difficult field ... It is easy for him.... Wow Thanks....

You made my day, and my week, probably my month, if not my year.... I love pianists jazz or classical but i am a bit too much asking, i ask lyrical more than virtuosity, and i want colors shades.... Few pianist gives the 3 at the same time.... It seems Bill Charlap is in this rare bunch.... Thanks....

Thanks wolf_garcia...

I will look for what i dont know : Julian Lage... And Bill Charlap....


To thank you better i will  recommend guitarist Sylvain Luc the album "Standards"... One of my best hits and easy listening...

If you like guitar the Joe Pass 4 cd "virtuoso" are the deal.... Musical and virtuoso at the same times but with a spontaneous gesture that is rare gift except for example in the best flamenco guitarist or the jazz one....

I love all Bill Evans but the consecration series is special....

Buy at least one Chet Baker album : " Chet".... and Enjoy.... :)

For Oscar Peterson, check also  the Jerome Kern song book, the Gershwin Songbook, the Cole Porter songbook.... Among his best....
