Yeah, and it is very good. She's an excellent guitarist.

As grindy has just posted, same day, in both these threads:-

https://www.musicbanter.com/jazz-blu...tening-51.html = What jazz album are you listening to?
https://www.musicbanter.com/jazz-blu...aganza-49.html = What are you listening to Jazztravaganza?

I thought it might be a good moment to ask why we have two threads asking essentially the same question. Is there any difference between them? Am I the only person bugged by the fact that they weren't merged long ago?

The other one has the sticky advantage but this one perseveres with pure grit and determination!

A Portrait of Thelonious by Bud Powell

I'm rediscovering Billy Bang whom I haven't listened to in about ten years.
Too bad because he has some amazing albums.

Currently listening to:
Billy Bang Quintet Featuring Frank Lowe ‎– Above & Beyond: An Evening In Grand Rapids

https://open.spotify.com/album/5vkDqYF9IM3fg6CmWgRqD0

It's far from smooth jazz but this should be very listenable even for people who aren't into avantgarde jazz.
Not to say that there aren't some delicous dissonant flourishes here and there keeping it interesting.
This album is also a farewell to the great sax player Frank Lowe who died from lung cancer not long after this concert.
He sounds great here and you'd never guess that this is the playing of a dying man with just one lung left.
Recommended for pretty much everybody here who likes jazz.

I'll put that on my listening list! Right now I'm playing this, which is one of my favourite jazz albums I've heard so far:
Alice Coltrane - Journey In Satchidananda
