I'm a newbie to the site, but have been a jazz fan for several years. Great resource here, lots of fun...

I find my tastes lean primarily toward souljazz and jazzfunk from the 1960's and 1970's, although I enjoy a good bop record when I'm in the mood. There's some great contemporary jazz records out there too.3 Organ and guitar are the instruments that really turn me on

Some of my favorite older artists

Roy Ayers
O'donel Levy
Caldera
McCoy Tyner
Kenny Burrell
Richard "Groove" Holmes
Grant Green
Charles Earland
Chick Corea


And Newer

Ximo Tebar
Joey DeFrancesco
Charlie Hunter
Jaga Jazzist
Bill Frisell
The Bad Plus
Victor Wooten
Will Bernard
Simak Dialog

Happy listening everybody!

Hey Rokukai, welcome again!

Since you're an organ fan, you'd no doubt be a fan of one of my favourite organ-based albums? Jimmy's 'Root Down'?

I do have Root Down. Honestly, not my favorite, but a good album.

I love the rockier feel to that one. :) Probably one of my other favs are his Jimmy & Wes albums too
