>Mats Gustafsson & Craig Taborn
Surprised I didn't hear about this one. I like both of those guys but it's not a pairing I would have imagined working.

it's pretty decent, starts off a bit subdued then gets really going

Nothing in the last 20 years is as good as The Epic; it's the modern day A Love Supreme.

So far, I haven't heard anything. But I found an interview on NPR that said to look out for these artists, Miguel Zenon, Craig Taborn, and Keven Eubanks. If anybody has any sites or ways they keep with the jazz world, I'd love to hear it! Sidenote: I'm spinning pic related right now, and I'm digging it.

I visit my local record store and see which new albums they've ordered a lot of/are displaying prominently. Then I usually just download them.

>>70770574
We'll I didn't really like it too much. I like Taborn a lot but have never liked Gustafsson really.

Taborn's new ECM record comes out tomorrow. Should be interesting. Taborn was interviewed in the most recent Downbeat and kind of said that the album wasn't completely the sound he wanted but that he had to compromise for Manfred Eicher's "ECM aesthetic"

i thought some of the songs off of it were good though. What makes it bad to you?

>>70770032
I'm pretty sure nobody will reply to a thread about current jazz unless you start it with The Epic

how do you know if jazz is good or not?
