Blindfold Test 185--Link and Discussion

[kh1958]

While I could have tried to stump the band with obscure hard bop or west coast or swing era jazz, I thought a different path would be of interest to at least some.The oldest recorded track is the first track, from 2000. All of the rest is from the last few years, all of artists that I have heard in person and found impressive in the last few years at the festivals I've been attending (New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, Big Ears Festival and Winter Jazzfest). With nearly all of my musical heroes passing away over time, I have focused in the last few years on finding living musicians to follow. I'm not ready to hide in my house only listening to deceased great musicians.
