1st Look - Trumpeter Christian Scott's New Project "Christian aTunde Adjuah"! (Video)

OOOoOo - this is exciting news! I became friends with Christian about 3 years ago and have been schooled on a lot of jazz and New Orleans history by him. He is delightful to hang around with, always curious and never settles for the status quo.

The new project entitled Christian a Tunde Adjuah is going to be a two disc set. It's going to be such a treat for everyone that has embraced Christian Scott and his vision.

The EPK (Electronic Press Kit) below was released earlier today by Concord Jazz on their YouTube Channel.

Enjoy!

YOUR Picks For Favorite 2010 Jazz Albums!

For a few days over the past weekend, I asked people online two questions. The first one was, "What is your favorite album from 2010?" and the second was "Why was it your favorite?"

These were pretty basic questions but I discovered music that I didn't have a chance to listen to during the past year. I hope that you enjoy reading the answers. Maybe a recommendation will pique your interest to check out a couple of the albums, too. :)
