Great..

 
I adore his trio music and to a certain extend I have no issues with his vocals, Live at the Blue Note for example works fine for me..
 
 I'll give this one a test listen

cheers.

Not really jazz, but somewhat uncategorizable music of the absolute highest order that I think a lot of fans of serious music like jazz will love.
 
 

 

[icebear]

It does have a label on it ... "tango nuevo" but uncategorizable or a category of it's own, I agree.
Nevertheless great stuff from Piazolla.
 
Similar is this youg guy :
I saw him live at Joe's Pub in NYC last year

 
 
And I recently discovered this album.
Some songs in an unusual trio setting with male vocals, trumpet and piano.
Great music and audiophile recording.

I own a few Andy Narrell solo records.  I most enjoyed his work when he partnered up with Dave Samuels & Paquito D'Rivera in The Caribbean Jazz Project.  They were one of the greatest Latin Jazz bands of all time. The sonics of steel pans, vibes/marimba, & piano have always been interesting and pleasing to my ears.  A group of all-stars AND one of the greatest horn players (IMO) of all time, whats not to like!?.

Love Three time Three from start to finish.  Bird Calls took me a couple of listens but I'm really diggin' it now.

Whenever someone asks me what kind of music I like, my immediate answer is jazz, but I immediately qualify it by saying I basically like all kinds of music that use jazz as the platform of inspiration. That is the basic description of my music library. Jazz seems to be the tree I always try to see in every piece of music. After that it doesn't really matter what the genre or sub-genre may be. My question after that is simply this - 'Is it good music?' 'Can I listen and re-listen to it and still enjoy it?' I have discovered all kinds of music this way, and thanks to this thread I am discovering even more.

Have taken the time to go through the thread and while I found that the classics and giants are well-represented (usually that's what happens with any kind of jazz list/thread), what piqued my interest are the outliers - the stuff where new creativity is happening. Although there have been excellent examples of this offered (still exploring them), I found this area of suggestion somewhat underrepresented. Just so I'm not misunderstood, I have excellent selections of the classics, for example, Miles' "Kind of Blue," Coltrane's "My Favorite Things" and "A Love Supreme." In fact, I would place these three albums as the roots of my musical tree. The liner notes of "A Love Supreme" alone are worth getting into jazz. If you haven't read them already, I highly recommend doing so.

Here are some of my contributions to this awesome thread, of unexpected outlier stuff that I have been pleasantly surprised by, sometimes incredibly surprised by. Some of these artists are sort of genre bending, but then again ... what is jazz? I have tried to find equivalent youtube tracks wherever possible, but some of these will simply have to be hunted down if one is so-inclined. (Open youtube links in a new tab to listen.) Oh yeah ... keep the love of this music going . . .

Terja:
 
Thanks for a great post to the thread.  Lots of things I've never heard/know of, so off to Apple Music to give them a listen.  That's what makes this a great thread as all of us have our favorites and a yearning to hear more.

 

[icebear]

+1 great variety of recommendations. I only have the Lars Daniellson album on my shelf.
I have a strong preference for acoustic music, so a lot of your favorites don't pass that sreener

.
 
I will check out Mirko Signorile ... along this style is Iiro Rantala, a pretty unique character from Finland.

 

[Terja]

Thanks guys! I'm slowly making my way through the other links posted in the thread. Of course some things are painting outside my radar and that's cool, it kinda helps reinforce what I like. Some things are instant discoveries, which I think is the point of the posts, so thanks to everyone who has posted suggestions. Hey, we are helping each other and the OP along ... what are friends for! Will put Iiro Rantala on my explore list.

Iiro Rantala's Lost Heroes album comes highly recommended. He was also the head of Trio Töykeät for a couple of decades.

It's a shame these guys haven't done more sessions.  I'm really liking it -- a lot!

(Amazon)

The Invisible Session are Luciano Cantone (a co-founder of Schema Records as well as producer and lyricist) along with Paolo Fedreghini and Marco Bianchi, who also composed, arranged and performed the music on this album. The producer's profound and spiritual pathway, together with its resulting vision, crossed with the two musicians' affinity in the same investigation. After months spent collaborating, the three decided to channel their collective ideas into music. Once common inspiration was found, it became the guiding star to the "invisible session". The ten resulting compositions are where various music genres interconnect. The trio shaped a project whose strength resides in rhythms and contaminated Jazz. Hence, Gospel and Blues blend in along with Hard-Bop and R&B for a club dimension.

 

[Terja]

Don't know whether you've found it yet, but Paolo Fedreghini and Marco Bianchi had worked together previously on "Several People." Bit of a more laid back Schema flavor but still very good.
