A really good (or great) 80's Jazz Record?

[mrmatthew]

Name one. Not a one or two tracker...but an entire LP.

 

[Guzzo]

Nimbus LPs are filled with goodness

•Dadisi Komolafe - Hassan's Walk
•Creative Arts Ensemble - One Step Out
•Adele Sebastian - Desert Fairy Princess

I guess I just thought of a couple too:

Lounge Lizards - No Pain For Cakes

Some of thsoe Henry Threadgil records were alright too.

So what was the Kind Of Blue or Giant Steps of 1980's Jazz music?

Jerry Gonzalez Ya Yo Me Cure

Hannibal Angels of Atlanta

 

[batmon]

Unfair to the 80's era.

Medasi

 

[mrmatthew]

How so?

 

[batmon]

Who is the next Michael Jordan?

 

[Fatback]

Marsalis sucks.

 

[mrmatthew]

"Who is the next Michael Jordan?"

Thats more of a prediction. This is more asking for a considered appraisal of past events.

Anyone who completely discredits most jazz music that was happening in the 70s is no good in my book. And, I'm not really into his music.b

On the other hand.

How about this one though '82.

 

[batmon]

Equating Marsalis' playing w/ his critique of Jazz history is suspect.
