Hardbopjazz Posted January 1, 2006 Report Posted January 1, 2006 (edited) For me, it was James Carter. I really dig his playing. I went and saw him live and he was amazed, great soul jazz and straight ahead playing from him. Edited January 2, 2006 by Hardbopjazz Quote
GA Russell Posted January 1, 2006 Report Posted January 1, 2006 Mike Marshall. Mandolin. I've been meaning to start a thread about him. I'll do it in the next few days. Quote
Alfred Posted January 1, 2006 Report Posted January 1, 2006 The FOUR FRESHMEN! I got the MOSAIC box very cheap and bought it without any expectations. It is often said here: in small doses it's okay! Quote

Kalo Posted January 1, 2006 Report Posted January 1, 2006 Frank Hewitt Gary McFarland Willie "The Lion" Smith Hasaan Ibn Ali ("The Legendary") Randy Sandke Cymande and Organissimo! Pretty much all because of this board. Quote
Nate Dorward Posted January 1, 2006 Report Posted January 1, 2006 I discovered Tord Gustavsen this year--I just didn't like him very much! Randy Sandke, the Respect Sextet, Sal Mosca, David Borgo, Joey Sellers, Jim McAuley spring to mind. Some of whom I'd heard before but only got a proper perspective on this year. Quote

Some of whom I'd heard before but only got a proper perspective on this year. I'll have to check these out , Nate, given that it was your eloquent recommendation that turned me on to Sandke. Quote

.:.impossible Posted January 1, 2006 Report Posted January 1, 2006 Peruchin! Holy smoke! What a pianist! What a musician! Quote
BFrank Posted January 2, 2006 Report Posted January 2, 2006 John Fahey - Don't know why I never listened to him before. I always liked Leo Kottke. I guess I never spent the time to "get" what he was doing. Pretty amazing. Spoon - Great indie band from Austin. Good songwriting and original sound. Quote
Sundog Posted January 2, 2006 Report Posted January 2, 2006 (edited) The biggest find for me this year was Kevin O'Neil. His guitar work with Anthony Braxton was quite a pleasant surprise. Also really like his solo album "Sous Rature" Edited January 2, 2006 by Sundog Quote
JohnS Posted January 2, 2006 Report Posted January 2, 2006 Frank Hewitt. Also came to appreciate Johnny Smith a great deal more. Quote
mailman Posted January 3, 2006 Report Posted January 3, 2006 Jessica Williams. Somehow I'd not heard this great pianist before. Wow, can this lady ever play. Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted January 3, 2006 Report Posted January 3, 2006 Jelly Roll Morton. I seem to discover him every 10 years or so. Have not been disappointed yet. Quote
