Klipsched with Yamahas Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 I've heard of Fred Hersh, but clueless about the others! Which can only mean I don't know "diddly" about Jazz[:#] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theryugobuddy Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 Surprising how many of them are long time jazzers -- not much new blood-- Sonny Rollins is always good-- so is Bill Frisell's trio -- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jheis Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 Well, if he thinks Jazz is getting old -- maybe it's just him. There are quite a few "young lions" out there. Christian McBride, Charlie Hunter, Joshua Redman, Julian Lage to name a few. My pick for best Jazz Album of 2006 is Taylor Eigsti's "Lucky to be me." Eigsti is about 20 or 21 now and has been playing piano since he was 3! He opened for David Benoit at age 8, played with Dave Brubeck at age 12, and has been on the faculty of the Stanford Jazz Workshop since he was 15. I picked up "Lucky to be me" yesterday & I've played it four times already. (the title is from a Leonard Bernstien composition - not an ego thing). Check it out. Highly recommended!

Klipsched with Yamahas Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 Always looking for new material, and thanks: Reading reviews as we speak, but I'm really funny about Jazz! Sounds like he was in great company w/the likes of Brubeck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
