This is the guy that always springs to my mind in response to a question like yours. I'm not listening to it currently, but his Sweet Geom on the Victo label is really terrific.

That Dexter Gordon trio album sounds pretty interesting.

 

Listen to this guy:

Mad bop chops!

 

"Evening Train" by Rob Mathes.
He's got an incredible voice, and this CD has absolutely exquisite horn arrangements and playing. Mathes does not let these things dominate the music, so instead you hear songs that are beautiful and sound sincere.

 

Some recordings that everyone should hear...(some more known than others)

Art Blakey: Roots and Herbs (some great Wayne Shorter compositions on here.)

Wayne Shorter: Schizophrenia

Roland Kirk and Jack McDuff: Kirk's Work (An essential organ album)

Art Pepper: The Trip (Art at his best...The Trip is a wild ride of a tune)

Attila Zoller: Gypsy Cry (Attila at his best, has Lew Tabackin on a few tracks.)

Attila Zoller: When It's Time (featuring Lee Konitz on several tunes)

Sonny Stitt: The Last Sessions (bopping and beautiful)

Baden Powell: Live at the Rio Jazz Club (a master at work, solo)

Hermeto Pascoal: So Nao Toca Quem Nao Quer (check out Hermeto writing for big band on a couple of tracks)

Sonny Criss: Saturday Morning (right up there with the Crisscraft album, his "Saturday Morning" is a great tune)

Ben Sidran with the Bob Rockwell Quartet: Walk Pretty- The Songs of Alec Wilder (you can't go wrong with Bob Rockwell and Ben Sidran)

Repertory Quartet: Plays Mingus Pettiford (Bob Rockwell kills on this)

Clifford Jordan and John Gilmore: Blowin' In From Chicago

Benny Carter: Summer Serenade (the title composition is one of the most beautiful things ever, the whole album is great.)

Jerome Richardson: Jazz Station Runaway (one of his last albums, but great. his take on warm valley makes the hair stand up on the back of your neck)

Bud Powell/Don Byas: A Tribute to Cannonball (this is just fantastic and Cannonball even joins in on an outtake of Cherokee...I'm not sure how, but no one seems to know this album)

Gerry Niewood: Facets

Charlie Mariano: Adagio (a beautiful album, Charlie sounds great on this one)

Charlie Mariano: Silver Blue

Charlie Mariano and the KCP5: Many Ways (this is really wild)

Buell Neidlinger: Thelonioius Atmosphere (great tribute and extension of Monk's music featuring the amazing Marty Krystall on tenor and bass clarinet)

Lee Konitz: Tenorlee (Lee on tenor is something very interesting)

Frank Wess: The Frank Wess Quartet (some great flute playing on this one)

Charlie Mariano: Adagio (a beautiful album, Charlie sounds great on this one)

Charlie Mariano: Silver Blue

Elis Regina: Live in Montreux (Hermeto accompanies her on piano...unreal)

Chet Baker: Picture of Heath (featuring Art Pepper)

Herb Geller: The Herb Geller Quartet

Loren Pickford: Song for A Blue Planet (one of the great alto players playing with George Cables and Billy Higgins!)

Randy Weston: Tanjah

http://www.julien-petit.com -- there are audio samples, but the CD is amazing.

Yannick Rieu - Saint Gervais.....new clive trio album from one of the most distinctive tenorists around.
Marc Mommaas - Balance - Great Tenor/Piano Duo album from one of the greatest players around today.

. . . all on EMusic . . .

 

Bob Brookmeyer Quartet -- SMALL BAND a/k/a LIVE AT SANDY'S -- No sax but a desert island disk

Agreed. Top shelf Brookmeyer and some of the best Jack Wilkins on record/CD

 

Phil Dwyer - Sax Summit. 7 great players all at once!
Phil Dwyer - One Take Volume II (CD and DVD of the session this tune was recorded on)
Phil Dwyer - Let Me Tell You About My Day
Tubby Hayes - Late Spot at Scott's
Tubby Hayes - Down in the Village
Mike Downes - Forces

Dave Pietro - "Standard Wonder"

 

Bob Reynolds-Can't Wait for Perfect

Great young player. On the road w/ John Mayer and a great jazz player too.

He also plays with Jonah Smith, which brings up the CD I've been giving a listen to the last couple of weeks, Beneath the Underdog by Jonah Smith. All last summer the guitarist in my rock group would put this CD on while we were setting up and it just stuck on me so I had to get it. Reynolds is featured quite a bit and Smith's sound is quite refreshing given the style.

 

Luther Hughes and the Cannonball-Coltrane Project: "Second Helping".
excellent playing by Glen Cashman (tenor) and Bruce Babad (alto)

Jackie Ryan: "You and the Night and the Music"
Some Red Holloway on here, and I just love Jackie's singing.

Joe DeRenzo: "Core Beliefs"
In the interest of full disclosure let me say that Joe (the drummer/leader) is an old friend. But I just love this recording! Nice sax content in tracks with Bob Mintzer and Glen Berger.

You can sample this on iTunes. The "Umbria Suites (I, II, and III)" are wonderful. Russell Ferante adapted Keith Jarrett solo improvs for the band, with some tasty Mintzer playing. And check out "She's A Woman", the Lennon/McCartney tune. Glen Berger plays on this one and it's got a Ramsey Lewis kinda groove. The song gives me happy feet every time I listen to it! I really think this tune deserves some radio exposure in the contemporary jazz world out there. Overall, wonderful ensemble work on this recording.

Charlie

 

Wow lots of new names. Great information. Thanks!
