it’s interesting to see how much Shabaka seems to be taking the lead here. All three of the bands he plays a large part in are out front. Hopefully this doesn’t mean people aren’t exploring some of the other artists in the list. There’s so much good stuff in this scene. ❤️🥰

Stellar list like you I’ve been listening to the nu-jazz music for some time now! |

The sax player in Sons Of Kemet, Shabaka Hutchins, is also in The Comet Is Coming and Shabaka & The Ancestors, both highly recommended. I saw Sons Of Kemet at the Big Ears Festival two years ago, superb and loads of fun. |

I only know Sons Of Kemet from the list but they're absolutely great! Two drummers and extensive use of tuba as central instrument.

my bad! ![]() But Gondwanna was started by Matthew Hallsall (mostly) and Nat Birchall (he since moved to Jazzman label a while ago) Edited by Sean Trane - February 21 2021 at 02:52 |

It would appear the forum voters think otherwise, but of the three Shabaka bands in this selection, my favourite is The Comet Is Coming. Shabaka is pretty much awesome, though, wherever he is playing. ❤️ Moses Boyd released one of my favourite albums last year, which I enjoyed even more than Nubya Garcia’s Source (which was pretty much universally lauded). I love how much interest jazz is getting in recent years. (Obviously jazz has always been around, but it’s certainly seeming to me to be having a bit of a rise in popularity of late.) |

Great list, of which I still have to explore some bands... I think it was you, Nogbad, who made me discover The Comet Is Coming in one of the interactive polls, and they're one of my favourites now! The other two, from the ones I know on this list, are Hidden Orchestra and Portico Quartet.

Correct, I've got Gogo Penguin, Mammal Hands & Portico Quartet from Gondwanna in the poll. Great label.

I have a long running minimalist jazz thread running on PE so it may have been there.

I'll have to go with Hidden Orchestra, followed closely by Nik Bartsch's Ronin. I discovered both based on your (Ian) recommendations on another thread... maybe on PE.

Listened to it now, haha, this is great indeed but so straight that I'm a bit surprised you think it's "best in five years" material. But then why not? Having lots of fun maybe the best thing at any time. ![]() PS: The Ronin one is clearly better than what I had heard of them up to now, and that wasn't bad either.

I only know GoGo Penguin, and they're great. I will check out all the artists you recommended.

I really like Thumbscrew but I indeed doubt that they'd appreciate being classified as nu jazz

They must be the only one. ![]() 'new' jazz is probably a better moniker. But its all good. Alot of excellent bands here regardless.

I haven't heard most of these, but I like what I've heard from Yazz Ahmed.

I'm abusing the term, I use it on my ipod to group any modern jazz bands who aren't playing traditional/mainstream jazz.
Jazz Music Archives does have Nik Bartsch Ronin, The Necks & Dawn Of Midi in Nu Jazz.
