[Nels Cline]

As a fan of Cline's jazz side-I'm really not familiar enough with the Wilco stuff to comment- I really like "Initiate".Probably more accessible than some of his other jazz stuff to the,uh,uninitiated- more in a fusion-ish vein.One disc studio,one live.Recommended.

[Weather Report: Black Market]

Coming late to the party as I just stumbled on this discussion.I'm a huge WR fan from the very beginning and wanted to steer you guys to Wolfgang's Vault for some great concert recordings from the 73 Sweetnighter tour.Wolfgang is Bill Graham and the site has an amazing amount of original taped concerts from his venues and some others.Not a whole lot of jazz of course,but 2 lengthy and pretty well recorded shows of WR.Streams for free.

I'd also like to recommend the new "Absolute Zawinul" record.Joe worked on this collaboration with the Absolute Ensemble right up to his death and it's great.Here's a link with info:
