Share some under appreciated jazz album titles

Don’t know why I assumed you were looking for CD. Sorry if that’s not the case. If it is:  

Live at Slugs:

C. Jordan:

Of course, Discogs may have other copies. 

I’m afraid the Art Ensemble is a bit too outside for my tastes.

That Mayall album is a good one. If you do a Google search for "bluesy Jazz", you will find plenty to explore. 

Try this:

As far as where to go from "Friday Night in SF", try this:

Di Meola and McLaughlin have recorded in both acoustic and electric settings. Their electric Fusion recordings are not very close to Blues! Their acoustic work tends to lean in a "world music" direction. I’m afraid I can’t comment on Paco’s solo recordings. 

Robben Ford incorporates Jazz into his Blues playing, but it still sounds more like Blues than Jazz. I like this one:

This is sort of Jazzy, bluesy and R&B...

Thanks. I do have both on CD from a while back. 

@jliffiton - stellar recs from @stuartk 

Listen to this Grant Green track and have your mind blown as it builds - it's groove is deep and Green's soloing keeps going into the stratosphere as the rhythm section just hits and hits and stays the course -  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VDDQsIu9FFE&list=RDVDDQsIu9FFE&start_radio=1 - Sonny Clark also has piano solo that is amazing. You can hear the guys shout out and cheer in the track as well. It's kind of cool. 

After, explore more of Grant Green's work - Green Street, Idle Moments, Nigeria, and others. Maybe this was already suggested.

I believe this is the music you would like to hear and listen

Boogaloo Joe Jones 'Snake Rythm Rock' album

Mel Brown ’Chicken Fat’ album

Grant Green ’Alive’ Album

https://youtu.be/Ev2o_KSd45Y?si=JzbXcO5VxyzRMdnr

As for Paco, Al and John, they have recorded 3 albums together (I think), they are all good and you may search thru discography of each of them, to see what you like. For me, all flamenco albums of De Lucia are worth hearing. Di Meola and McLaughlin have made albums of different styles, some I like, some not much

 

 

 

Currently listening to Ernest Ranglin.  First album I heard. Below the bass line.  Then check out Monty Alexander
