Jazz for aficionados

@audio-b-dog 

This covers a wide range. A few aren’t solely acoustic but all clearly draw from acoustic genres. 

Instrumental:

Strength in Numbers: Telluride Sessions

Douglas, Meyer, Barenberg: Skip, Hop and Wobble 

Daryl Anger, Mike Marshall: Woodshop

Tony Rice Unit: Devlin

Chris Thile: Not All Who Wander Are Lost

Celtic "plus": 

Solas: The Words that Remain 

Mick McCauley and Winifred Horan: Serenade (Horan is a very accomplished, Classically trained violinist/fiddler) 

Bluegrass "plus":

Newgrass Revival: Hold to a Dream

Sarah Jarosz: Sarah Jarosz

Peter Rowan, Tony Rice: Quartet

Stray Birds: Magic Fire 

Steel Wheels: Live at Goose Creek 

Old Timey + Jazz 

Lindsay Lou and the Flatbellys: Ionia 

Folk "plus" : 

Birds of Chicago : Live from Space

 Aoife ’O Donovan: In the Magic Hour (really uncategorizable -- strong Classical influence)

Bluegrass + Jamband:

Railroad Earth: Last of the Outlaws (check out the suite-like middle portion)  

My categories are loose. There may be much here you don’t like. Taste is so subjective. But start with the first group and also check out Edgar Meyer and Mark ’O Connor discographies for more Classically inclined genre mash-ups. Check out Bela Fleck for Jazzier forays. Jerry Douglas solo recordings go in various stylistic  directions. Jazz is by no means a constant factor but does show up here and there. 

Perhaps you will find one or two titles that draw you into deeper explorations.

This three minute recording of Coleman Hawkins playing Body and Soul, according to the Jazz series, is supposed to be the first time a jazz soloist has established a melody and then left it behind and created a remarkably beautiful improv. Previous jazz masters would always return to the melody.

Coleman Hawkins must have influenced Coltrane on his improvisation on "Favorite Things," my favorite Coltrane piece. I do not understand the intricacies of music, but this sounds to me that it requires more virtuosity than "Love Supreme," but not as much soul. This is my favorite period in jazz:

Perhaps @frogman will opine on this topic...
