Hi y'all

So I guess there r a few jazz addicts around here. What's really fresh lately, whether talking regular jazz or more xperimental shit?

Just asking cuz I ain't a specialist in the genre and though I caught a few nice jazz records lately, I'm sure I missed a great deal of good shit

My faves from these last few years (some aren't "new" artists but I dug recent works of them, hence them being here):

- Akiko Grace

- Akira Sakata

- Austin Peralta

- Bill Laswell (did all kind of weird free-jazz collabs lately, including shit with John Zorn)

- Food

- Jeff Parker

- John Scofield

- Masabumi Kikuchi

- Nils Peter Molvaer

- Sayag Jazz Machine

- The Cinematic Orchestra

- The Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble (and their impro variation The Mount Fuji Doomjazz Corporation)

- The Thing

+ a few people like George Duke, Katie Melua and Donald Fagen who're somewhere between jazz and pop... That Chaka Khan/George Duke tour in 2009 was wow! So bad they didn't release anything from that collaboration

Thanks for your advices

Robert Glasper's outfit just released a new, cool jazz-rooted record called Black Radio.

Marc Cary and The Bad Plus have put out some solid albums in the last year or three.
