I'd vaguely heard of this guy before but had never really investigated any further. Picked up The Jazz Messengers CD on a whim a few days ago & can't believe how good it sounds. The below track in particular really swings. Great record, shame on me for overlooking it for so long.

This is just out from Joe Bonamassa. An acoustic evening at the Vienna Opera House. Some great fiddle, banjo and bongo playing in there too.

The Bespoke Man's Narrative is the 2013 album apparently.

Thoroughly enjoying an Austin, Tx one-man blues machine at the moment who goes by Shakey Graves.



Roll the Bones. [Bit broodier]


Also this fantastic song!




Late July [Upbeat]. Song starts about 1:46

I've recently been listening to an outrageously talented 18-year old named Jacob Collier.

He sings complex six-part jazz harmonies and is an accomplished multi-instrumentalist.

Actually been listening to a good bit of classic piano jazz recently, particularly the below two artists, Evans through his association with Miles Davis & Tyner because he played with John Coltrane (check him out on Live At The Village Vanguard - head-noddingly good throughout). It's amazing what gems you can discover simply by reading the sleevenotes of other artist's albums.
