Very hard to choose just one Monk album, but this solo album covers a lot of Monk ground.

Any of the four Road Show albums would be a good choice as Sonny was always better live. I just chose Vol. 1 was that came up first.

Johnny Raducanu

I had the honour to spend some days in a closed group with him when I was student. He was very close friend with one of my teachers. He was so open minded that accepted the invitation to come sit for us as a drawing/painting class.

Thanks for posting

I’m relatively new to listening to jazz, and too much of a meat head American to contribute anything from outside of the US right now… but here are a few things I’ve been listening to lately that I love.

Isaiah Collier put this album out last year and it blew me away.
Favorite Track: The Vessel Speaks

Favorite track: Kera’s Dance

Blank Forms Editions’ rerelease of this Organic Music Theater live show is one of my favorite albums right now, and some of my favorite Don Cherry.
Favorite track: Butterfly Friend… it’s just

Lots of great stuff already mentioned.

Fela Kuti

What We Are Listening To [2022-06]

Tonight is time for a change of pace… Roon classifies this as Mainstream Jazz and Vocal Jazz, but it is not. It is the beautiful rendering of Roger Miller Country-Pop songs, featuring Jordan Officer’s guitar accompaniment… [Screen Shot 2022-06-20 at 9.31.17 PM]

There’s not a lot of vocal jazz suggested:
