Modern Fusion - worth a Listen - Aaron Parks


For those of you that listened to Fusion back in the 70's and 80's and maybe have migrated to more traditional jazz,
here is an Artist / Album I stumbled on in Tidal.

Aaron Parks - Little Big. 

I like it a lot - maybe you will too.

@tvad - I have concert envy.  I always thought you were a West Coast guy.  But 10 years ago, now.  I guess you are allowed to move around :-)

@dougsat - This Ruby Rushton - Ironside is really working for me.  Totally off my radar.  Glad for the tip.   Enjoying the jazz flute and like Nick Waters trumpet quite a bit.  The drummer is great...propulsive without being a distraction (if that makes sense). Songs are a perfect blend of structure and improvisation.  Commendable "self-editing" in that none (and no ONE) overstay their welcome.  Someone definitely knows jazz and what they are doing.  Thank you very much.

Saved to favorites in Tidal but suspect this will become a "buy".

Doh!”

Music From Our Soul - Charnett Moffett (2017)

An interesting stew of live and studio performances with an equally interesting mix of musicians including at various times:  Pharoah Sanders, Stanley Jordan, Tain Watts, and Cyrus Chestnut.  It ain't all fusion (Tracks 3 & 4 being Mood Indigo & So What, respectively) but it's definitely modern.  

Track 10 - Just Need Love (live track)

Charnett Moffett- 

Now there is a name from the past. I remember seeing Mr, Moffett
in Philly at a free concert when he first hit the scene.
BTW - Nice mellow Live cut - "Just need Love" 

Now that we are on the subject of bass players, how about a little
Christian McBride -   "Ham Hocks and Cabbage "
