The Jazz & Blues Recommendation Thread

Check out Scott H. Biram. Especially his live stuff. He pretty much exemplifies dirty and raw when you put him behind a microphone

Ok, I will. Thank you!

Yep,he's pretty good!

Hey everyone, I'm looking for recommendations to similar music like this (Polyenso - 'Falling in Rain')
youtube.com/watch?v=jHNkS0QN8Kg
I'm not sure where to look, it's kinda indie, kinda jazzy, kinda ambient. Figured here would be a good place.

Also, general ambient jazz recommendations.

This is a very fun live cd. It's the only release from Bridges I own so I can't comment on his studio albums. A few covers (two by Sam Cooke) and a slew of originals. I'd sure love to see him & his band live.

I kind of like Stevie Ray Vaughan and Johnny Winter - anything similar?

I believe you should check out Avishai Cohen Trio (especially the album called "Continuo") - it's INCREDIBLE!
Also Vijay Iyer's album Accelereando is really really good.
They're both kind of modern Jazz albums, not the classical swing/bebop kind of jazz, but they are soooo good. Just beautiful music!

Hi everyone!

I'm new around here, so I thought I'd just jump into the mix this way. Who are some of your favorite female jazz vocalists?

I tend to like jazz vocals in the setting of trip-hop/electronica, and some of my favorites are Ksenia Istenko from the band Rekevin (Russia), Julie Gomel from the band Shine (France), Emiliana Torrini (Iceland, more folk-ish than jazz, but still sings the style well on many occasions). If you're familiar with any of these you get the picture!

Any noteworthy recommendations? Thanks!

I know Howlin' Wolf records go without saying but this two-fer is worth every penny. I have Moanin in the Moonlight on vinyl though it's pretty unplayable now (bought it used & it was extremely used). I was surprised at the great quality of the disc considering how cheap new copies are selling for.
