What up Wes. I'm interested to see what her music for this release will sound like with Danger Mouse producing. Love the cover for it too. Not a big Russ Meyer fan, but I do love some of the graphics for his b-movie posters. This is a play on the Mudhoney movie poster by Meyer...She looks hot...

Esperanza Spalding killed it last night during the Oscars where she performed What A Wonderful World during the In Memoriam segment of the show. It was breathtaking & very moving. She looked beautiful too. Tried finding a vid of the performance but couldn't find anything. I will post later on if I find it.

What up Wes. Sad to say, there isn't that many Jazz concerts on Blu Ray. You'll only find Kenny G (%$%!?!!), Chris Botti, Pat Metheny, & Diana Krall...Notice the trend? If you want to stick with the blu ray format, I'd suggest Diana Krall live in Rio.
If you're ok with dvd format, I'd suggest the docs about A Great Day in Harlem & Blue Note: A Story Of Modern Jazz.
I'd really recommend newly released Miles Davis Live in Europe 1967 cd/dvd pack combo which I got for Christmas. It didn't come with a blu ray option. Here's a link to Best Buy's ($47.99) site for the item & the link to Amazon ($35.43) for the item too. I would highly recommend this for your pops.

Let me know if you get the Miles set & how you dad likes it. The live in Europe '67 is the first release for the bootleg series. There will be several releases with really great material...Originally Posted by omgitswes
, yeah I saw the Diana Krall in Rio. If I get that it'll be for myself, it's pretty cheap on Amazon.
That Miles combo is great! Thanks man

I forgot to include if you don't mind the DVD format, the Diana Krall Live In Paris is better IMO.

I don't have "idols" but one of the few people I respect/admire is Gilles Peterson. His long running show was canceled on UK's Radio One but you can get his podcasts for free through his website here. Gilles has the best taste in music.
His record label Brownswood Recordings released Jose James' Blackmagic about 2 years ago. It features tracks produced by Sbtrkt & Flying Lotus. Highly recommend this album. This was a more traditional song/gem from that album...
Dudes voice reminds me of Johnny Hartman like a mutha...My pops used to play the Coltrane/Hartman record all the time...I can still hear the crackle of the vinyl of this record playing on Sunday morning from my childhood while breakfast was cooking...

Yo, yo what up good people?! Glasper's new release is a must have jawn. Really enjoying it. It made me go digging into my collection to find this '05 release from Joshua Redman called Momentum which had a whole bunch of folks ranging from Meshell Ndegeocello, Eric Krasno (Soulive), Flea from the Red Hot Chili Peppers, & Questlove who played on this track.
