In Reply to: I don't have much newer jazz. Some Horace Silver, Terrence Blanchard, and Von Freeman. posted by Jack Seaton on July 15, 2006 at 20:09:42:
If you mean newer jazz other than "avant garde" or "free" there are plenty. Maybe you could check out some sound samples of cd's by some of these musicians. They do play tunes with form and structure, but they play in what could be called a post bop style. Likely you're already be familiar with some of them. I've left out a number of musicians whose music might be a tad too "esoteric" for you.Dick Oatts
George Garzone
Jerry Bergonzi
Tim Hagans
David Weiss and/or New Jazz Octet
David Sanchez
Don Grolnick (dead a few years, but nice groups & music)
Alex Sipiagin
Adam Rogers
Jesse Van Ruller
Vincent Herring
Ralph Moore
Gary Smulyan
Jack Walrath
Seamus Blake
Matt Wilson Quartet (a shade out there, but interesting and well played stuff -- Ornette-ish)
Joe Magnarelli
Dave Kikoski
Tom Harrell
Joe Lovano
Ryan KisorBy no means a comprehensive list. Just a few to check out.

Modify your lists to cover just those newer recordings that have the Bop Era feel to them, would you?Thanks,
Jack
There are MANY current jazz musicians I didn't put on that list because I thought their music might be harder for you to relate to given your preference for bop/hard bop. I gave you a short list of musicians to check out, and instead of trying to listen to some sound samples to see if you might like their music you apparently automatically assumed you wouldn't. I fail to see the point in listing current living musicians who in 2006 attempt to replicate bop from 50-60 years ago. Bop "feel"? Dizzy, Bird, Monk etc. were not trying to play with a swing feel from 1940, let alone the "feel" from early jazz 40 years previous. All the musicians I listed have absorbed the bop influence and taken it a few steps beyond where it was at in 1960, and they sure as hell swing.Miles, Sonny, Cannonball, 'Trane, Freddie, Donald Byrd, Booker Little, Dolphy, Jackie McClean, Lee Morgan, Harold Land, Joe Henderson, Wayne Shorter, Steve Lacy, Roy Haynes, Max Roach are just a few of the musicians who came from bop and had already taken it quite a bit further out 40 years ago.
Jack, as a jazz musician I'm happy that you are a serious and devoted jazz afficianado. I love all the music contained in your "Album of the day" posts too. But there are hundreds of great LIVING musicians playing/writing very interesting music NOW. They need support, both artistic and financial, just as boppers did 50 years ago. They can't all be geniuses on the level of Dizzy, Monk, Bird. But neither were many of the musicians playing on the LP's you love.
Jazz is not a stagnant or antique art. Because I know you are a jazz devotee, I'm just suggesting you make a serious attempt to check out what contemporary jazzers are doing before concluding their music is not to your taste. Your *good* taste.
... interesting stuff. I'll buy one today after I write this post.Thanks,

I'm guessing the sound quality of the Redbook CD is pretty nice, too ... :)Jack
