I don’t know how it happened, but I find myself suddenly into Jazz. Probably has to do with the fact that I recently started playing vinyl again. And jazz just seems to be made for a record player. Not the hyper kind, but the soulful, smooth, dim-the-lights-and-pour-me-a-whiskey kind of jazz. So much to discover! Especially from the 50’s and 60’s.
Whenever I used to go on vacation I couldn’t walk by a record store and not go in, hoping to find some Quo I did not yet have. But when I went back ‘home’ to The Netherlands last month I found myself buying vinyl by Chet Baker, Kenny Burrell, Art Pepper, Cannonball Adderley, Frank Sinatra and Jimmy Smith. And it does sound beautiful on my record player!
It’s a wonderful thing to broaden one’s horizon. Still love Quo and all the other great rock bands that I grew up with, but just give Jimmy Smith’s “Back at the chicken shack” a listen and maybe you’ll discover something you will like as well.

Great stuff. I tend to prefer the 'hard bop' era (late '50s-mid '60s, approx). Hard to single out one favourite album but Lee Morgan's 'The Sidewinder' is a perennial regular visitor to the stereo.

Thanks for sharing that one, Stringybob.
Here's another one off one of the records I bought: Cannonball Adderley's version of "Autumn Leaves".

Great stuff. Love all those. Here's something a little more modern from an album I listen to regularly. I couldn't even begin to call myself a jazz fan but sometimes a piece of music just grabs you. Not exactly smooth or as cool as Jimmy Smith. But nice
