A really good (or great) 80's Jazz Record?
- Thread starter mrmatthew
- Start date
I was doing Jazz radio in the 80's, so I'd say just about anything that wasn't pop-funk; there is so much, plus great reissues. Take your pick.
Wynton's debut was actually very good. Of special note (and I don't know if it's already been mentioned, as I admit to not having read the entire thread): Sonny Rollins, "Sunny Days, Starry Nights." Also Tony Williams' comeback ("Foreign Intrigue").

Frank Lowe and Dwight James both sound nice from what I just checked on YT. Didn't know that label, thanks for heads up!
Chico Freeman - Peaceful Heart, Gentle Spirit - Contemporary '80 (so maybe recorded '79 and ineligible for purposes of discussion!)
Chico's 'Destiny's Dance' also on Contemporary from '82 is maybe not quite as good, but has nice versions of 'Same Shame' and 'Wilpan's Walk'.
