I won't pretend to know much about Jazz but this album sounds amazing to me. Best new jazz album I have heard in a long time.

Kamasi Washington - The Epic

Mavis Staples - Down In Mississippi

Good track from an even better album:

Koko Taylor -I Got What It Takes

Newly discovered CW Stoneking. Boy am I happy!

Anyone else a fan?

This is my favorite he has done (an old Hank Williams cover), but his original work is amazing too. If you like his sound, you would probably enjoy most of his music.

Also, I was surprised to see what he looked like after I listened to him.

Hozier - To Be Alone

I've recently found myself listening to John Coltrane's A Love Supreme, and Miles Davis' Live-Evil over and over. For someone who is completely new the the genre, where should I go from here as far as listening to "the essential Jazz albums" or whatever.
