Once you get past all the Nora Jones and Diana Krall hype (they are good vocalists but enough already!) there are actually some great new jazz musicians with lots of recent releases. My current favorite is Joe Lovano who is one of the best jazz sax player to come along since Coltrane, Dex Gordon, Rollins etc. Check out his many CD's on Towerrecords.com
New Jazz Releases..What Do You Like?
Any new releases(not re-issues) in Jazz that you are enjoying listening to?
I would prefer real Jazz rather than the Kenny G smooth (?)music, but post what you like.
My current favorite newer release is Russell Malone's "Heartstrings" on Verve. Mr. Malone appears to have dumped the Buscarino for a DeAngelico New Yorker...and the sound is just superb.
So, let's hear what current Jazz you feel is worth a listen!
