Really enjoying that Dixie Walker track. Love New Orleans jazz, but these guys modernize it a bit while staying true to the roots.

Yeah, Henry Butler is a monster, really rocks out that N'awlins style. And I pretty much love everything Steve Bernstein touches, from Sex Mob, to the Millenial Territory Orchestra, to the Radical Jewish Culture stuff he did for Tzadik. And, he's great to catch live in any of these incarnations.

Billy Bang - Spring Gathering, Vietnam: The Aftermath, Reflections
 
Jacques Coursil - Trail of Tears, Clameurs
 
Nucleus - Live 1970, Live in Bremen, UK Tour '76
 
John Coltrane - The Gentle Side of John Coltrane
 
I like jazz that has an edge or slows down the pace.  This jazz really moves me emotionally.

Mike Moreno – “Between the Lines”, and “Third Wish”.  Terrific jazz guitar releases.
 
Joshua Redman Quartet – “Moodswing”, Phenomenal release also features Christian McBride and Brad Mehldau.  Timeless music!

Sounds good...actually JUST got Mike Moreno "Lotus" in the mail today, ripped it, will put it on my Pono, haven't listened to it yet.
Don't forget Josh Redman and the Bad Plus CD, very cool.

Man,
That moondog song and album is great!
I've been listening to two jazz albums (A love supreme and kind of blue),
I feel that they are special and slowly starting to like them,
but this moondog dude really got me, Thanks!

 
Seconded on the moondog track. Beautiful.
 
Edit: whole album is good and on youtube.

Yeah I listened to this album and especially this track a ton when it first came out. So soulful.

What style of jazz?

 

[doctorjazz]

ECM, hmmm, how many years do you have?

 

[proedros]

just write 5 albums you dig that are not so known

like Three Day moon or who knows

not the keith jarrett / garbarek stuff
 
something left-field but melodic and not so known

 

[Spyro]

Antonio Sanchez – “Meridian Suite”  (jazz record of year 2015 IMHO)
 
Dave Weckl -  “The Dave Weckl Acoustic Band”  (mind blowing straight ahead jazz)
 
Dave Weckl – “Convergence” (best fusion jazz record in past 2-3 years)
 
Marcus Miller – “A Night in Monte Carlo”  ( great live recording….Marcus a beast on jazz guitar)
 
Bill Evans, Mitch Foreman, Dennis Chambers, Chuck Loeb – “Petite Blonde”  (a very fun rockin jazz fusion record)
 
Pat Metheny Group – “Speaking of Now”   The last record with Lyle Mays and the first with Antonio Sanchez
 
Animal Logic – debut ( fun pop jazz with Stanley Clarke on bass, ex-Police drummer Stewart Copeland and Deborah Holland on gorgeous vocals.)
 
Yellowjackets – “Mint Jam”  (the poster boys for authentic contemporary jazz)   Fantastic musicianship all around.

OK, @proedros, here goes:

This is the Day-Giovanni Guidi Trio, mellow atmospheric, with a hint of the avant garde...
Mark Turner Quarted-Lathe of Heaven
Karen Mantler-Business is Bad (silly, fun)
Being There-Tord Gustavsen Trio (pretty, scandinavian melodic jazz)
You've Been Watching Me-Tim Berne's Snakeoil (getting into edgy, dissonant territory, rock edge to the improvs)
Carla Bley, Andy Sheppard, Steve Swallow-Trios (love Carla Bley's music, almost anything by her will be interesting, melodic, have a touch of humor)

There's so much on the label, honestly, I haven't heard most of it, too much to keep up with. These are some I have purchased and really like.
