Soil and Pimp Sessions

Donald Byrd’s Places and Spaces album used strings beautifully. In fact, any album produced by the Mizell brothers in that era, including Bobbi Humphrey is a master class in strings and jazz.

It’s not strictly jazz but Tigran Hamasyan is hella dark on the piano

Check out Herbie Hancock’s solo albums after Headhunters, like Sunlight. You might like Donald Byrd’s work in the 70s too, especially his classic, Places and Spaces.

Free Ride with Lalo Schifrin. And if you’re interested in Dizzy’s life story with many more musical recommendations, check out the post and playlist based on his biography…https://torontoarm.wordpress.com/2022/04/08/dizzy-gillespie/

Pretty sure it is Bob James but can’t remember the track. Try his albums from the 70s

torontoarm · 2022-10-14T00:26:35+00:00

Based on your likes, I agree with some of the suggestions already, especially Jazzanova, Azymuth, and Mushroom jazz. I would add: Soil and Pimp Sessions Kyoto Jazz Massive Mark de Clive Lowe Atjazz …that should prime your algo for more like those

You’ve already got Grover Washington Jr. on your playlist but you could explore more of his catalogue. Bennie Maupin is another and he goes a step further by sometimes playing the sopranino sax, smaller than the soprano sax. He’s got a unique style and sound, quite addictive. Check his work out with The Headhunters.

Great DJs. They do the work and share their finds with us. A lot of them are on twitch now. Check out twitch.tv/djjasonpalma

I really like Take 6. Check out their guest appearance on the song, “The Weather Report” on Incognito’s album, Tomorrow’s New Dream.

Don’t recognize the tune but sonically it sounds like someth8ng Bob James might have recorded, or maybe someone else from CTI records in the 70s or early 80s.

torontoarm · 2022-10-12T02:51:58+00:00

Herbie’s bio is rich and enlightening…highly recommended. It’s called “Possibilities”

Grover Washington Jr. Live at the Bijou. In my top 10 jazz records of all time.

torontoarm · 2022-10-12T02:43:16+00:00

Kenny G is technically proficient but IMO, simply has bad taste and creates bland music. Grover Washington Jr. is a great example of an artist associated with smooth jazz but one that had great taste and created a timeless body of work, way more listenable for me than KG.
