Cool story. (To me, anyway). I saw this band in New Orleans the day after a Mardi Gras drunk fest. Went into a record store after a LATE lunch at Paul Prudhomme's. It was a laid back country and blues record store. On a tiny stage was this band playing. Awesome, awesome old ragtime and delta swing. I bought the CD and got it signed by the guys.

Another great blues player, if you like Jimi or SRV, is Eric Gales:

For jazz, I like some Bireli Lagrene:

and I love this album of remixed Miles Davis stuff:

I'm not jazzy at all, but I like some

Contemporary Noise Quintet (or Sextet, depending how many of them plays at the moment), cinematic, modern stuff. Seen them live and they were cool:

The Bad Plus - non-electric trio, they're funny and known of jazzy covers of song like Rush's Tom Sawyer or Nirvana's Smells Like Teen Spirit (also seen them live and they were funny):

Pink Freud - just like Contemporary Noise Quintet, they're from Poland, and they're good (and modern too).

I also like Nils Petter Molvaer and his magical trumpet.

Yeah, this stuff's completely un-oldtime, but still worth recommendation.

As for blues - I don't like it at all.

DAMN! What kind of black magic is this 2-stringed mini-bass??
Sounds awesome!

The second song, preachin,' was awsome....

yeah thanks Ive heard Sign of the storm before, what you posted sounds way different.

yeah the panthalassaremix is great i have it too!xD.

this ones kind off the line of thought here but still relevant to the thread...this ones kind of a genre bender along the jazz-rock line, and soul I guess too. If your patient enough there is a little rock orgasm towards the end.

lol fats waller one my faves but I gotta say Art Blakey....Moanin' is the shit

John Fahey!

Listen to his stuff, seriously. He does open C as well, for those who study the tuning.

This guy could have you in an upbeat bluegrass maze of notes and then all of a sudden you snap out of it and are listening to some depressing classical part and don;t even know how the transition slipped by you. Its that good.

Anyways, some live clips.
