Jazz

Is this jazz? Silje is a jazz singer and Norways best selling jazz artist. I just think this sounds a little different from other jazz I hear. But this is Norwegian jazz apparently. In Santa Maria di Castellabate, Italy.

The actual music is indeed, Jazz. I hear some components of jazz in what she is singing, but also think it could be considered a different genre.

We have a lot of the same tastes in Jazz, @Mr. Stevens

^Those are exquisite!

I'm glad you liked them They were some good discoveries for me, as well, though I'll try anything ECM puts out. It's usually rewarding.

Great song! Thanks for posting this.

Kenny Wheeler - "Nicolette"

The Dave Holland Quintet - Seeds of Time

This isn't on YouTube, so I can't link a track (well, one track is there). The whole thing was good, but I really loved "Gridlock (Opus 8)," a musical simulation of a traffic jam.

John Surman - "Moonless Midnight"

This is more Third Stream, but I really enjoyed it.

Charles Lloyd - "Figure in Blue"

 

[Mr. Stevens]

Nelson Ayres - "Organdi e Gomalina"

 

[Mr. Stevens]

Graham Collier Septet - "Deep Dark Blue Centre"

 

[Mr. Stevens]

Nala Sinephro - "Continuum 1"

 

[Mr. Stevens]

Asher Gamedze - "Wynter Time"

 

[Mr. Stevens]

Thomas Clausen - "Country Dreams"

 

[Mr. Stevens]

Carla Bley - "Life Goes On: and On"

 

[Mr. Stevens]

I finally listened to this album. This is another great track:

Carla Bley - "Beautiful Telephones (Pt. 2)"

 

[Mr. Stevens]

This is a great cover of the Duke Ellington song:

Aki Takase - "Mood Indigo"

 

[Mr. Stevens]

Dominic Miller - "Bicycle"

 

[Mr. Stevens]

Hank Mobley - "Remember"

I got into this one recently after buying a copy years ago. I had Rudy Van Gelder's remaster (linked here), which I never liked. I enjoy his recordings, but the remasters were not so good, to me. I found a flat transfer of this on a streaming service and it really hit me how good this album is. It can be a blissful experience. "Remember" and "Dig Dis" are two of my favorites, but every track is enjoyable. Of course, it's considered a classic.

Jimmy Giuffre - Free Fall

I only listened to this once, but it was interesting. An interesting companion to Ornette Coleman's Free Jazz, from roughly the same time (the early 60s).

Bob Brookmeyer - "Bracket"
