Agreed ....Jarrett and the "Standards" absolute wonderful stuff. I consider him to be the "creme de la creme" of todays top Jazz pianists.
Lest we forget Bill Evans, Tyner, Mulgrew Miller or even Bill Charlap who can throw down a head spinning chord structure now and then.
The list goes on and on in many respects.
Admittedly Mehldau seems to be the best of todays current crop of talent, a shame though that as far as Trio's go you still cant beat that fantastic Evans, Gomez, Morrell magic (although Jarrett, DeJohnette and Peacock come awfully close) .
Great to see this thread alive and well
Thank you…when I mentioned the list goes on, I would have included these artists…I'm familiar with them and like them all!
Thanks again.

You're welcome. Let's try a different approach. Send me a PM with a list of artist of that genre you know, and I'll see if I can come up with a list of new artists for you.

+1 on Chuck Loeb. Saw him live with Four Play last year. That man puts his whole being into playing that guitar.
Many quality hours listening to Standring, Cooling, and Golub too.
Thank you.
My list consists of the Genre's/artists I mentioned in my prior posts.
Nice!
Chuck Loeb is a member of Fourplay since 2010 of Fourplay which is my favorite Contemporary Jazz band.

If you're a fan of Fourplay, I assume you already own Fourplay bassist Nathan East's solo record that he released this year? I'm not a fan of 'smooth' Jazz, but this record's a keeper. Highly recommended!

Not yet, but I'm going to.
I've been listening to samples of Cd's from all the members past/current to hear which ones I like. Also as I said earlier, I did just get their "Silver" Cd and I'm enjoying it very much. Thanks for the tip…I was last listening to Lee Ritenour, but I'll check out Nathan East solo.

I don't have it yet either - but my local FM Jazz station plays it quite a bit. Incidentally the Four Play concert (Eastman Theater in Rochester NY in 2014) was the best Jazz concert I have ever seen, and I have seen many.

Thank you.
The only two artists I'm familiar with are Chieli Minucci/Incignitio and I'm familiar with the Rippingtons, just not the members.
Now I have some other artists to explore and see if I like them.
Thanks again,
Joseph
