Jazz reborn

I haven't bought an album in a few weeks, so I picked up:

 

Never thought of myself as an organ person, but I recently bought a package of Stanley Turrentine CD's and one was Dearly Beloved. Pretty cool use of the organ, to me.


I started digging and it turns out the organist in question was actually his wife, Shirley Scott and was known as the Queen of the Organ. I ended up buying Shirley Scott and the Soul Saxes. Pretty cool. My interest in jazz is pretty much all horns, but this is a cool little off shoot and still has lots of horn action.

 

Some new releases that deserve (re)listening, varied styles:

The Berlin Sessions — Anat Fort Trio (with Gary Wang, Roland Schneider)
Corridors — Kendrick Scott, Reuben Rogers, Walter Smith III
Prime — Christian McBride's New Jawn (with Josh Evans, Marcus Strickland, Nasheet Waits)
Ghost Cat — Christoph Irniger Pilgrim (with Stefan Aeby, Dave Gisler, Raffaele Bossard, Michael Stulz)
No Subject — East Axis (Gerald Cleaver, Kevin Ray, Scott Robinson, Matthew Shipp)
Got the Keys to the Kingdom: Live at the Village Vanguard — Chris Potter, Craig Taborn, Scott Colley, Marcus Gilmore
Conversation #8 - Ablaze — Florian Arbenz, Jorge Vistel, Wolfgang Puschnig, Oren Marshall, Michael Arbenz

 

Just arrived, Aruán Ortiz's Serranías (I love this title, there's definitely so much of the mountains here) hits it out of this world.

 

Worthy reading on Monk.

 

I have been on a Clifford brown binge. He has a wonderful tone which sounds amazing even on crap laptop speakers.

 

I let my streaming subscription lapse and started digging through some cds and found this:

 

Rich Ruth - "Older But Not Less Confused" from the album I Survived, It's Over.
Definitely John Surman influenced with new-agey sythed out vibes at times, but usually driving, goovy drums and great saxing.
Edit: Recently released a live version of the album at Third Man Records, but I don't like it as much as the studio takes.
