Share some under appreciated jazz album titles

@viridian,

The jazz for aficionados thread actually has a whole lot more music there other than straight ahead or avant garde, fifties and sixties jazz. You would be surprised. Even the OP orpheus10 posted a ton of other worldly music other than straight ahead or avant garde jazz.  

And don’t mind @stuartk, he means no harm, he can sometimes come across as a curmudgeon and very cantankerous but he’s really not, and that does come with age. In fact he has a very wide music pallette and has posted many varieties of music on that thread alone. 

“Consequence”

by Jackie McLean. Lee Morgan’s solo on the title track is about as explosive hard bop as has ever been recorded!

@kymanor1,

I was doing the grocery store run last night and WCLK 91.9 Jazz radio station played this song Gregory Porter - Insanity (Lyrics Video) ft. Lalah Hathaway off of Take Me To The Alley album 2016 and I was enthralled with his jazz chops.

For some reason there aren't to many, and let me be clear jazz male singers with outstanding chops. Yeah, of course there's Cole, Sinatra, Bennet etc. But to me they all got there jazz vocal licks from listening to and studying the original crooner himself Billy Ekstein. Who started his own band around 1944(?)  which included Dizzy Gillespie and Charlie Parker. Crooning his but off while singing to and with Bebop! Go figure.

You are convincing. Thanks i will look at him.

Great topic. My contribution: ANYTHING by Bobby Hutcherson. I saw him at the Blue Note in Japan. He was up in age at that time. I was gob smacked by him and his band. I own most of his albums. Not a dud in the bunch ... 

if you want to know how a minimalist trumpet player became one of the greatest  because he speak a story with his trumpet instead of giving notes: 

Chet Baker
