Episode 163:More of the Musicians Jazz Critics Love.

Part two features some more of the musicians rated in the 69th Annual Jazz Poll from Downbeat Magazine.

This week I start out with Kris Davis (with Nels Cline), and follow it with the vocal-less Nels Cline Singers. You’ll also hear Freddy Cole, Laila Biali, Sinne Eeg, Aaron Diehl, and Charles Lloyd and The Marvels.

There are a few interesting combinations of great musicians. There is Redman,Meldhau,McBride,and Blade, and all four of them have individually been ranked high. And one of my favourites is a trio of Bill Cunliffe, Vinnie Colaiuta, and John Patitucci on a brand new label called LaCoq records.

Bassist Marcus Miller and a recording he made of one his compositions with Miles Davis is also featured.
