Shades of Blue (2003) more music like this

by Madlib

Madlib received a rare opportunity with unfettered access to the storied Blue Note archives and permission to use them as he wished for a remix/interpretation album released on Blue Note itself. The result, Shades of Blue, is really more of a Yesterdays New Quintet album, but Madlib's name is far more recognizable then his alter ego and faux ...

State of Mind (2003) more music like this

by Dave Ellis

It's been said before, but it bears repeating: Not all worthwhile jazz musicians have a Manhattan address. Some improvisers acquire their skills in Chicago or Philadelphia; for others, the training ground might be Stockholm, Vienna, Brussels, or Paris. Although Dave Ellis spent some time in Boston, much of his experience has been in the San ...

Standard Procedure (2005) more music like this

by Dan Haerle

Outside of fellow jazz faculty or up and coming musicians who may have acquired one of the many play-along CDs recorded by Dan Haerle for Jamey Aebersold's label, most jazz fans will likely be unaware of this veteran jazz educator and pianist.

Land of Nod (2006) more music like this

by Chris Washburne & The Syotos Band

The "Land of Nod" that Chris Washburne refers to in the title of his most deliberately incendiary CD to date is of course, America, where in the trombonist's view, the people simply refuse to be awakened to what is being done to them by the callous, arrogant powers-that-be in Washington and the boardrooms. In order to illustrate this state of mind ...

Feelin' Free (1994) more music like this

by Lorraine Fielder

Lorraine Fielder is a fine singer whose voice sounds a bit like Betty Carter, although her improvising style is more straightforward. She gets into the lyrics of the songs and swings lightly, while giving the words plenty of emotion. Her recording has many interesting moments, including her version of "Sesame Street," her own "Feelin' Free," and a ...
