Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Stereo Jazz?

I have a few recommendations, I'm going to stick to mostly newer straight ahead recordings. Coltrane, Miles, etc are great but usually less than stellar recordings. However I can't stand "smooth jazz" either so anyway here are my suggestions for some modern recordings of some incredible straight ahead jazz albums (some have been mentioned I think):

Joshua Redman - Any album
Michael Brecker - Tales from the Hudson
Chris Potter - Gratitude
Charlie Haden - Always Say Goodbye, Haunted Heart
Kenny Garrett - Pursuance (or any album really)
Dave Holland Quintet - Prime Directive
Arturo Sandoval - I remember Clifford
Herbie Hancock - The New Standard (interesting album)

That's just a few off the top of my head, hope it helps...
