    Thanks Reid and Mo for the replies.

    I've been recommended Levels & Degrees before, but it seems to be OOP. I'll look for the others.

    And everything I've heard with George Lewis on it has been great...didn't realize he had one of these things out. Will definitely get that one at some point. I'll investigate those other ones too, thanks.

    Used copies start at $8.73 on Amazon and $7.00 on Discogs. And Jazz Record Mart - the store owned by Delmark Records - has new copies for $11.99, which would imply that it it isn't OOP.

    Oh, well that's good news. I just assumed since everywhere I usually buy from doesn't have it currently. Thanks for the heads up.

    I heard a track by this guy a couple of days ago on Chicago's only jazz radio station, WDCB. I'd never heard of him, but I'll admit that I'm as out of the loop with current jazz as I am with current prog. Anyway, I like his playing and his tunes.

    Let me give a second shout-out for Jonathan. You can read my review of some of his music here.

    Thanks, John! Funny you should mention Adam Rogers, because he reminds me of him a bit. If I were to choose one, which do you recommend?

    Adam. Kriesberg is a bit "lite" for me. Check out Miles Okazaki and Travis Reuter, as relatively new guys on the scene.

    That's funny! I meant which Kreisberg album. But I'd give Adam the edge over him too. Will look into those other guys you mentioned when I get a chance.

    I like Jonathan Kreisberg's sound. Never heard of him before, but he seem to have a pretty solid set of releases. Will need to check him out further. Thanks.

    Gotta get that because it's Nucleus, but I'm not sure I can take Leon's yodeling over an entire album.

    Depends on the album. I think his last couple of group albums have been anything but lite. But I'll give a second shoutout for the very undervalued Okazaki. His trilogy was simply fantastic, even if I only reviewed one of them.

    Jonathan is about 10-15 years younger, and I'd say there's little doubt that Rogers was an influence on him when he was coming up.

    I saw Rogers two years ago in Montreal with Ravi Coltrane, who usually plays with pianists, and it was great to hear him stretch into new territory. (Obviously) A completely different sound for Coltrane, and Rogers was absolutely stunning.

    Me too; it's a very refined take on the traditional "big box archtop" sound.

    I saw him with Michael Brecker, touring in support of the "Time is of the Essence" album. Hadn't heard of him before, but he sounded fantastic! I sort of think of him as a more modern Pat Martino. Of course he's got that other side; the jazz-rock fusion one as witnessed on the old Lost Tribe albums.

    I remember early on when Jonathan Kreisberg had a prog metal band. They weren't very good and I think I turned them down after receiving their demo.

    He moved to NYC and completely reinvented himself as a straight ahead jazz guitarist. Seems to have met with quite a bit of success.

    Always enjoyed Harriott's involvment in Indo-Jazz Fusion, whether with D'Silva or John Mayer... Surely this new reissue will be mine soon (love Winstone's vocals)

    Love Vocalion reissues, but the most awaited Brit-jazz reissue I'm waiting for will not be coming from them: NJO's Déjeuner Sur L'Herbe >> this will most likely come from Ardley's reissue organisation.

    Double (boot) album with mediocre sound, it's more of a "Leon Thomas sings Pharoah Sanders and solo stuff" with Nucleus as a back-up band... Still quite good (can it be bad with Nucleus anyway), but I wouldn't fork up big bucks (saw it for 27£ in London last month) for something that you can find on the web with much of a search...

    Quite a bit may be pushing it a bit, but he's done ok. He's also moved away from being more straight-ahead, at least on his own records, and more into sort of Kurt Rosenwinkel/Adam Rogers territory. Modern mainstream would be a good term. He plays more in the centre when he plays with Dr. Lonnie Smith (good gig) but one of my favorite guest spots is his work in Joe Locke's Sticks and Strings group. They released one record in 2007, and it's well worth looking for. You can read my review here.

    Just discovered this:

    and this:
    rcarlberg: Is there anything sadder than a song that has never been played?
    Plasmatopia: Maybe a song in D minor that has never been played?

    bob_32_116: That would be a terrific triple bill: Cyan, Magenta and Yello.

    trurl: The Odyssey: "He's trying to get home."

    Well, I did. Either they're too modern or I'm too square, probably the latter. I just like to hear some semblance of jazz tradition in there somewhere. Adam Rogers has that while still sounding modern, at least to me. These guys hardly suck; it's just too dissonant and devoid of lyricism for me. YMMV. Here they are together:

    Anyone see that movie Whiplash? I heard this interview on NPR yesterday and it sounds fascinating. Of course being we live in a remote rural area I won't be able to see this until it streams on Amazon or Netflix.
