Stretching out with other worldly and US jazz influenced music

I wanted to start a thread to show there is more than just Avant Garde and or Straight Ahead Jazz music in our world. And there is absolutely nothing wrong at all with Avant Garde and or Straight Ahead Jazz music as I do love that part of US Jazz based culture. But sometimes I want to hear and add more sound spices as it were, from other worldly and US jazz influenced music.

There is so much more other worldly and US jazz influenced music that goes unnoticed and it's time to bring those musics of different sound spices to the forefront to be shared.

Although I have started this thread I am not a or the moderator. Let me repeat I am not a or the moderator. I don't have the time nor energy to police anyone's take on the music they like and want to share. As I will always try and be open to others choices of music.

As I recall the label was funded by Dick Schory. 

That is correct, he was a very forward thinker of his time.

Welcome to my world. All the greatest jazz, imo, was recorded in the 50’s and early 60’s. And there’s enough there to keep anyone busy for a lifetime. But that doesn’t include Keith Jarrett Trio or Chick Corea, among many others like Roy Hargrove. I’d begin with Miles Davis and John Coltrane, who seem to influence almost everyone.

Here's some reposts to get the weekend started right this Friday morning with some live music:

Chief Adjuah aka Christian Scott - West of the West

Chief Adjuah (Christian Scott) | Max Mucha | Elé Howell | Cecil Alexander| Morgan Guerin | Richard Howell

Another young jazz lion...Robert Glasper - So Beautiful (Live At Capitol Studios) (Official Video)

And speaking of Robert Glasper here he's in accompaniment with Esperanza Spalding:  Esperanza Spalding & Robert Glasper playing Herbie Hancock's - Watermelon Man - | Polar Music Prize 2025 | TV4 Play

 

It’s been awhile since I’ve been here and I thought to share this link but I wasn’t quite sure to post this cause it’s not (all) jazz per say, but after seeing this last page I noticed @jafant mention Esperanza Spalding and @alexatpos mention Wayne Shorter and I said, why not?

This is an NPR Music Milton Nascimento & Esperanza Spalding: Tiny Desk (Home) Concert. The compositions are:

Milton Nascimento: ’Cais’
Milton Nascimento: ’Outubro’
Guinga, Paulo César Pinheiro: ’Saci (feat. Guinga)’
Milton Nascimento, Fernando Brant: ’Saudade Dos Aviões Da Panair (Conversando No Bar) (feat. Maria Gadú)’
Wayne Shorter, Edgy Lee: “When You Dream (feat. Maria Gadú)”

Please enjoy.
