I find that with jazz, like any genre of music, there might be one to five percent of the music that truly resonates with me. With the posts that reach me through facebook or gmail, I end up having to listen to a lot of them in order to find that 1 to 5 %.

My discoveries over the past couple months are featured in this week’s episode. Most of the artist were familiar, but the particular recordings weren’t. And there are a few that are brand new to me. Jazz artists’ you’ll hear are:

Alan Pasqua (with Peter Erskine and Derak Oles)

Renee Rosnes Trio

Chet Baker

Paul Jost

Hubert Rostaing

Mike Murley, Ed Bickert, and Steve Wallace

Richie Cole (with Eddie Jefferson and Manhattan Transfer)

Bill Frisell.

For each tune I give a ‘shout-out’ to how I discovered it: the facebook or gmail friend who posted it.

I’m always on the lookout for new discoveries.
