These are great.

Gregory Porter is just simply wonderful. From the album you suggested, “On My Way to Harlem” would be a fantastic choice. It’s an ode to jazz. “You can’t keep me away from where I was born; I was baptized by my daddy’s horn”.

The other track of his that I could see included, which is one of the most uplifting songs ever I’ve ever heard, is Revival from Still Rising. What a track!

Also, Nina Simone. Perhaps this. Or Sinnerman.

or anything by these guys:

He is no longer among us. Ahmad Jamal. ‘Rossiter Road’ is not the most famous of his recordings. But please listen to what he does on the piano. Marvellous!

Excellent recommendations, everyone! My thoughts for the International Jazz Day list are to balance it with old and new artists as much as possible. There’s so much to choose from when it comes to jazz. We’ll never be able to tackle a comprehensive list; that’s not our aim here. A two - three hour playlist that inspires people to dip a toe into the genre would be great.

I’m all for starting a “Jazz Community” playlist similar to the one we’ve rebooted on the Roon home page for Classical music. We can pull recommendations for that one from this thread

There is this:

The "I didn't know that one" PIANO TRIO mega-thread

Of course this will only become a mega-thread if we make it so but I’m committed! “I didn’t know that one” means jazz piano trios that are not the classics that we all know and love. So let’s skip the Evans, Mehldau, Jarret and maybe even the McCoy Tyners and Booby Timmons. One more clarification - by jazz piano trio I mean the classic rhythm section of piano, bass, drums. But of course it can be a combo that is led by any of the three, as the most interesting ones are led by the drummer or th…

And I’m almost up to date with the tidal playlist following the thread: I didn't know that one on TIDAL

And also:

Italians do it better!

Do they? Let’s see… Add jazz albums by Italian artists; or with some italian artists… or recorded in Italy… or if it reminds you of Italy… I’ll start with one of the greats Enrico Rava, The Pilgrim and the Stars, his first ECM outing [RoonShareImage-638131309077988840]

But here I lost track: Italians do it better! jazz albums by Italian artists on TIDAL
