Hardbopjazz Posted January 1, 2006 Report Share 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.

Alfred Posted January 1, 2006 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nate Dorward Posted January 1, 2006 Report Share 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.

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.

BFrank Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share 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.

Sundog Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
