Can anyone suggest jazz music similar to that in Lipstick Jungle?
Filed under: jazz music

In episode 4 or 5 of season 1 Lipstick Jungle, the characters go to a Jazz Club and Wendy’s husband Shayne is asked to go on stage and perform. I loved the jazz music - can anything recommend anything similar?

Here are the best jazz musicians out today and some Cd’s you should check out

Dave Holland Quintet - Features the best trombonist out today Robin Eubanks and one of the best Sax players - Chris Potter

Any Album But Prime Directive

Not for Nothin’

and
Critical Mass

are outstanding…. the live album is also amazing, but it gets very out at times….

Joshua Redman - Amazing Sax player who hasn’t forgotten his roots while he’s progressed… very funky at times as well

Try: Elastic

and Momentum

- Brian Blade plays on these albums and he is best drummer out today in my opinion.

Roy Hargrove and the RH Factor - Roy is one of the top trumpet players around and his band experimenting with new sounds and musical fusions while at the same time making it accessible!

Try Hard groove

and
Strength

If you don’t have any Bela Fleck and the Flecktones, you should get some immediately

Look for Flektones albums with Jeff Coffin
like:

and

    I personally think Winton Marsalis is a great teacher, defender and promoter of jazz AND a good trumpet player… but I feel that he never really “says anything” when he plays…he never plays an idea that has much meaning…

    I’d also check out

    Gerry Bergonzi
    John Swana
    Terence Blanchard
    Chris Potter
    Robin Eubanks
    Wyclef Jordan (bone player for Marsalis)
