Jazz

So while waiting for my RSD Kenny Dorham to arrive in the mail, I decided to give it a listen on Spotify. I’m really digging this!

Anyone have recommendations of similar albums? Also, what style of jazz is this? Thanks!

That's a really deep rabbit hole as this is a fairly straight-ahead record....but the great news is that you should be able to find things that hit the spot. Not knowing too much about your listening, here are some good spots:

Miles Davis -- Someday My Prince will Come or the live set, My Funny Valentine ('64 or '65)

For more Kenny, while the tone is different, Uno Mas is hard to beat :)

Haha, that's my fear is going down another rabbit hole, as if I don't have enough records on my wantlist.

As far as jazz, the stuff I've personally enjoyed is mostly jazz-funk / fusion. Which is why I was pleasantly surprised to enjoy Quiet Kenny so much. So I guess I'm looking for more traditional style albums like the Kenny.

I checked out Uno Mas, but I think I'm looking for a more laid-back vibe like on Quiet Kenny. I'll check out those Miles albums. Thanks!

Yeah Crazy shit eh, Amazon US recently sent me the wrong album in a plastic bag, that I guess is used for clothing. To Australia.
My copy of Binker Golding "Moon Day" showed up today in one of those ultra flimsy UK mailers and it is just ridiculously warped. Why would you send a record in packaging like that when it needs to cross an ocean!? So bummed.
 
Breaking in the Lintons with this one that just showed up! Went in completely blind, the playing is great, although I feel like the sound is a bit tinny? Any one else? I’m guessing it’s because it’s a live recording from way back when. I was expecting more of a tone poet sound but this isn’t quite there, feels a bit muffled in places.

Yea, it is an old radio broadcast I believe. Their studio albums, which all got reissued by Jazzman, sound fantastic. I love the energy in these live recordings though.
 
FYI, Gearbox Records Tubby Hayes at Ronnie Scott's is among the summer sale items at Mr. Bongo (for $16.99):

Anyone heard of this label, it's on Bandcamp so I'm thinking it won't be a bootleg?

The Mike Osborne title caught my eye somewhere else & traced it back to band camp. @Selaws I suspect you might have an OG, its this worth a listen?

Oh fantastic, glad to see all the British jazz classics are getting reissues. There is a big Decca-led reissue series starting soon with some killer titles in there.

Yes, I do have the OG and it's a great album in my opinion. I would recommend streaming some of it first though. He is quite an intense player with a focus on free/avant garde playing, so I imagine it's not for everyone. Harry Beckett on trumpet is really killer on this album as well.

For €15 its definitely worth it if the pressing is half decent.
