wera 96.7 is back on the air. i think they are playing the same lite jazz song over and over and over

yep, been on a loop of 4-5 pretty lame songs and some dude who says the call  letters

In February there was some rumbling they might try to save it

[Yada]

been in a deep piano driven jazz phase... any essential recs, i'm all ears!

Well bill Evans is #1

Check out his late career masterpiece you must believe in spring.


Of more modern I really like Brad Mehldau’s trio or solo records. Definitely an Evans influence…

Sonny Clark never played a bad session…you might enjoy Sonny Clark Trio.

not everyone's cup of tea, but I love Thelonious Monk

straight no chaser and Misterioso are good places to start

thanks peeps!

Love Jarrett and what I've heard of Mehldau.

[hutch]

Oh yeah Monk.

Jarrett has some great stuff and some stuff that annoys me particularly live stuff with his grunts and noises.

There is one I love I want to say The Melody is you?

[hutch]

This is the Jarrett one I love

For Bill Evans I really prefer his late career…there is something extremely beautiful and melancholic about this music. This was a man barely hanging on after his brother committed suicide. Before that his wife killed herself.

The Turn out the stars box is gorgeous.



It goes without saying that Bill Evans also was extremely hurt by Miles Davis taking full writing credit for Kind of Blue. I think after his death Miles’ estate gave Evans the writing credit but Evans was long gone.

Fort Yawuh was always a favorite Jarrett album.

The Romantics - 61/49

the one they recorded with Clem Burke in 2003

actually although at the Clem was an official member of The Romantics, he only played on two tracks.. The original  drummer  Jimmy Marinos  handled most of the album and Johnny Badanjek of the Detroit Wheels handled a couple more... 

good album all around

[grateful]

Thunderclap Newman

Dwight Yoakam’s latest

He is the only guy who sings in that voice that I like to listen to even though sometimes it’s hard to stomach.

If you had told me in 1998 that in 2025 I would still listen to Yoakam but hardly ever put on Steve Earle I would not have believed you.
