Today is Tuesday, January 06, 2009.
Today I begin my quest to find MY favorite Jazz Recording of the year.
I’m beginning today, of course, because Tuesday is new release day and this is the first Tuesday of 2009.
No, I’m searching for a classic. No, I’m not suggesting I will hear all the jazz music that is released this year. And no, I’m not suggesting that my choice or list will be the “be all that ends all”.
I realize that I have spent the last few years involved in revisionist history of the jazz. Spending most of my time collecting and recollecting the recordings of the giants of the genre – Miles, Mingus and Monk and so on;
So this year I’m on a quest - more of the young lions and older cubs.
