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.

@tablejockey,

I haven’t thought of, let alone listened to Ronny Jordan in years. I have his - A Brighter Day, Light To Dark and the antidote cd’s. This is right in my wheelhouse. Thank you! What else you got?

Good call on the NB debut.👍 I have a couple of his later works. 

Sadly, US only released the CeeDee. I may splurge for the Euro LP. Being an LP disciple, I go record release when possible.

Perhaps you're hip to these dudes-non guitar

Medeski Martin And Wood – Uninvisible | Releases | Discogs

Back to more "modern/traditional jazz" guitar Russell Malone

Russell Malone – Sweet Georgia Peach | Releases | Discogs

Soulive-funk/Jazz

Soulive – Get Down! – CD (Album), 1999 [r12561814] | Discogs

Not much of "live" album fan, but this holds my attention.

Soulive – Soulive – CD (Digipak, Album, Enhanced), 2003 [r4198656] | Discogs

The John Scofield Band

The John Scofield Band – überjam | Releases | Discogs

Glad I went thru the CD rack. I forget how I amassed a reasonably eclectic collection 80's-2010. It's been neglected for 20 years.

@devinplombier - check these out. Might be something here that holds your ears.

Late 80's-early2000 is fantastic period for "Alternative Jazz" 

DIG IT!

Giving my table a break. CD's are where it's at! No streamer/subscription service like most here.
