    This is from the "Miles Electric" DVD, which is great. A few others are asked to do the same, like Airto Moreira.

    I'm not just posting this because I happen to have a huge crush on Björk, but also because I was very surprised when I heard she made an album with an Icelandic jazz trio back in 1990.

    Listening to this is a perfect way to realize the power of the voice as a musical instrument. When you have such a talented singer singing in a very foreign language (for the most part), you end up focusing more on the timbre and sounds, than on the words, which is a great way to appreciate the nuances of the human voice. Worth it.

    Here are a few videos of her with the old guys on Icelandic TV. The album above has better sound quality, but young Björk was incredibly hot so it's nice to see a few videos too...

    Unfortunately I can`t help you there. Maybe if you search the All About Jazz forums, they might have a nice list.

    Weather Report does Disco. This particular concert was instrumental in making me a Jazz lover. I downloaded it back in 2005, burned it to DVD and used to watch it over and over. Loved Pastorius' playing more than anything.

    Here's a spectacular concert by Sonny Rollins with one of Europ's greatest piano trios/rhythm sections - Bobo Stenson, Arild Andersen and Jon Christensen.

    Jon is one of my favorite drummers of all time and it's great to hear him take a nice solo around 9 minutes in. The whole video is a great way to kick off Friday...

    Happy 2015 to all!

    The Tunein Radio app has access to thousands of stations across the world and categorizes into music style, country, etc. Pretty sure it can be played through Airplay.

    For a dedicated Internet tuner for a stereo, the Grace Tuner is pretty good (Amazon.com: Grace Digital GDI-IRDT200 Hi-Fi Internet Radio Tuner: Electronics). The quality is surprisingly good for the price and it has a digital out so you can take advantage of an external DAC. I use this all the time for Pandora (Jim Hall channel is a mainstay) and for internet radio.

    [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wlSg2f58w_I]"Scrapple From The Apple" Stan Getz, Gary Burton, Steve Swallow, Roy Haynes. (1966) - YouTube[/ame]

    I will not let this thread die!!

    That up there is a video of a great group of musicians led by the legendary Stan Getz who wasn't afraid to mix it up once in a while. In this case, instead of the more obvious Piano, the position of the major harmonic instrument in the band is the Vibraphone, played by a young but already very renowned Gary Burton, one of the greatest vibes players of all time. They are joined by bass player Steve Swallow (playing an upright bass, which is rare as he switched to electric not long after this) and drumming legend Roy Haynes. "Scrapple from the Apple" is a Charlie Parker tune - one of his most famous.

    I'm a drummer and Roy is one of my heroes. He's still going strong at almost 90 years old, with a band aptly named "Fountain of Youth". If you ever get the chance to hear him play live, take it! The man is Jazz royalty!

    I still struggle to believe there are only 2 guys playing, it sounds like they have 4 hands each....and maybe 3 legs...

    A little late to this post, but one of my family's favorite jazz pianists is Jessica Williams. One of the best albums is "Nothin' But the Truth," which includes an excellent rendition of Thelonious Monk's "Round Midnight." Might be hard to find, but absolutely worth checking out!

    Along with Ella, Sarah, & Carmen, Betty Carter was one of the greatest vocalists of the 20th century.

    I know close to zero about jazz, but I know who Ella is. The others I had to use Google. So far, a couple of YouTube songs in, and Sarah Vaughan is my fave among the ones you listed. Listening to Tenderly while I type. Great stuff. Thanks for posting!

    You can go crazy trying to pick which rendition/performance/voice you like more between these two:

    I like Dee Dee. Usually if a live set is released it has some nice moments. Yoshi's is a nice room with a good audience, so though I haven't heard the record I'd bet on it being a good buy.

    Here's a long concert by swedish pianist Bobo Stenson and his trio, with a special guest at the end playing the saxophone. These guys are some of Europe's best jazz musicians. The drummer here, Jon Christensen, is one of the great names in drumming. A very unique player, he takes an impressionistic approach to the drum set, but can burn like the best of them whenever he wants to. One of my favorites.

    We lost Ornette Coleman today, perhaps the last great living Jazz innovator. He was incredible, and largely responsible for a dramatic shift in my understanding of music in general. Thankfully his recorded output is huge and easy to find. RIP Ornette.
