Marvin, I haven’t sampled the Marcin Wasilewski Trio in their own right, as it were, but for four or five years they were Tomasz Stanko’s rhythm section — specifically for: Soul of Things (2002), Suspended Night (2004) and Lontano (2006) — and fine records they were too.

My entry would be the Polish pianist Marcin Wasilewski Trio. As much as I love classic 50’s sessions I ventured upon this guy in Amazon by accident and became hooked instantly I love his music and recommend it very highly to all my fellow jazz collectors. Another perdon would be vocalist Wanda de Sah and also Sue Raney.

I covered and still cover Scandinavian and European jazz on CDs from this period, they are on par with American jazz by that time in my opinion, listen to pianists like Thomas Clausen, Jan Lundgren, Carsten Dahl, or Italian pianist Stefano Bollani, all world class, or guitar player Ulf Wakenius, I could go on.
But I had another passion which is to tape live radio FM jazz concert since the mid 1960s, in later years on an old Revox G36 providing master tape quality, the first owner of that Revox, which in reality was a Studer for the market, was Swedish pianist Jan Johansson, another jazz great. But so much good live musoc has been trabsmitted on radio during this period, a lot now appearing on CD and you tube as well.

In an ecumenical spirit, I agree with everybody, although many of the names cited I know nothing about. James Carter was unknown to me until I put on one of his You Tube performances of the Parker with Strings arrangement of “Laura.” The orchestra was conducted by master musician, Lennie Niehaus. On tenor, Carter shows a bit of Don Byas in his playing, but he’s no Don Byas. But then who is?

Mulgrew Miller & Wingspan :The Sequel
Dave Holland Quintet: Not For Nothing
James Carter: Jurassic Classics
Jeremy Pelt: November
Dave Holland Big Band: What Goes Around
Eric Alexander: The First Milestone
Branford Marsalis: Eternal

All wonderful music but I agree that when at home in front of the hifi that vinyl is my vastly preferred media. But on a long car ride you sure can’t beat any of the above in CD mode. I think any jazz fan will love any one of the above. Not a big avant gardist but I do enjoy Roy Campbell’s Ethnic Stew and Brew Delmark CD a whole lot also.

The International Association of Jazz Record Collectors (IAJRC), based here in the States, has issued over the years an extensive line of jazz LPs that included much material never before previously issued. When IAJRC replaced its LP program with a CD program, very little of that material had been issued before either. This includes concert and club recordings. CDs are still available and may be found on the IAJRC website. Laserlight also has some very nice jazz CDs that have never been issued before. This includes the Stan Getz February 12, 1969 Paris concert CD “The Song is You” with Stanley Cowell, Miroslav Vitous, and Jack De Johnette. The group and the music are exceptional.

Hank Jones The Oracle is a fantastic 1989 cd. It can be difficult to find and a little pricey for a cd but well worth the effort.
