One of my favorite latin jazz albums. I love Tito, didn’t listen many things from him though cos’ I’m into Paquito D’Rivera, but I’m biased: his bass player being Oscar Stagnaro, the guy who wrote the Latin Bass Book method, I’ve been more into D’Rivera’s music to transcribe Stagnaro bass lines and solos. Also, I’ve always loved the famous Calle 54 documentary: And, for music shedding purpose, this awesome podcast about the afro-cuban 6/8 rhythms in Latin Jazz: beta.prx.org/stories/74556

That beautiful reharm of "Love Me Tender" with Ray Brown bowing the melody on his double bass lets me... speechless

I always forget how much I like Jazz until it shows up on the movies:

Been really enjoying these guys lately. I think it's technically jazz? DOMi's keys are awesome- on top of playing the keyboards with hands, she often is playing like a foot-piano thing that sounds like a bass. I don't know what that's called. Gotta try to catch them next time they're in the Midwest.

They are definitely a jazz duo, but I would characterize them as avant-garde jazz, or maybe neo or nouveau avant-garde jazz (because they are electronically reproducing the typical jazz quartet).

You're welcome- so glad you like them! Thanks for that additional insight. I don't know much about jazz beyond that I enjoy listening to it. Always appreciate the music knowledge drop.

I love all kinds of music. I went through an intense jazz phase in my twenties where I listened to a ton of live jazz music and built up a huge collection of recordings. There are a lot of different categories or types of jazz, with or without vocals, that encompass a lot of different instruments, tempos and rhythms (more on that later). Not sure what your preferences are, but I'll post some options. One of my favorite jazz vocalists is Dianne Reeves. She has a self-titled album Dianne Reeves, and another titled I Remember, which have some great recordings (you can find them on YouTube, but probably on whatever music source you use as well). This is her cover of a classic jazz song, I've Got it Bad (And That Ain't Good):

Here are three different covers of My Funny Valentine by Rachelle Ferrell (6 octave range including whistle register), Chaka Khan and Dianne Reeves, both of whom have about a 5 octave ranges (in a slightly lower register).

This is her cover of a classic jazz song, I've Got it Bad (And That Ain't Good): Thanks for the shares! My preferred jazz is instrumental. I really like seeing it live- it's nice to hear live music and not feel like I should probably be wearing earplugs. Had tinnitus for a couple days following a meh outdoor rock show several years ago and have been religious about bringing plugs to concerts since. But jazz you can usually get away without them.

Had tinnitus for a couple days following a meh outdoor rock show several years ago and have been religious about bringing plugs to concerts since. But jazz you can usually get away without them. Ok, I was trying to get a feel for your interests. On the instrumental side, there's traditional jazz (sometimes called straight-ahead) with piano, drum, bass and sax or some other brass. The terms acoustic, fusion, cool and others are used to describe a modern jazz that incorporates different instruments, sounds and tempos (The duo you posted fall into this category, I think). Latin Jazz (which is different from salsa, etc) is also a category. Some examples to explore. Hope you enjoy. On the modern straight ahead side, there's Joshua Redman (Sax), Wynton Marsalis (trumpet) and Kirk Whalum (sax), Nat Adderley Jr (piano): Joshua Redman Acoustic, Cool, Fusion: Weather Report, Pat Metheney Group, David Brubek, Chick Correa. Tito Puente (I posted a youtube video earlier in this thread), Poncho Sanchez, Hilton Ruiz (piano), Poncho Sanchez (I was at this concert):

This is the kind of homework I'm happy to sink my teeth into! Much appreciated : )

One last post on this. The piano solo by Nat Adderley Jr beginning at 4:03 is sublime:
