I'm Adam Manus.

And I'm Peter Martin.

And you're listening to the You'll Hear It Podcast.

Today we're going to talk about five great jazz albums from the 90s. The 90s. I love the 90s. The 90s were great. I mean, I feel like it was just yesterday. We were in the 90s. But also, I'll say that the 90s is a very overlooked decade for jazz. I think there's really some good albums out. I'm glad we're talking about this. I think so, too. I mean, for me, I was in my 20s. It was very formative. I mean, 1990, I was 20. And then 99, I was 29. You do the math. That's right.

But that was a time when I was, you know, recording a lot and participating in some stuff,

but really heavy listening.

In fact, I remember right in Brown 1990 or 91 walking in, it was 90, right when I first, no

sorry, 91, when I first moved to New Orleans, I went into the Tower Records

down on South Peter Street.

They had a huge tower records there.

And I bought 700 and something dollars worth of CDs.

I was so excited.

I'd gotten back from like my first Europe tour and I didn't have a care in the world and

just bought all this music.

And it was a lot of older stuff.

It was like the heyday of the CDs, but a lot of new releases and things like that. And I think it was a great decade for jazz music.

Just the fact that there were Tower Records. That's a very 90s thing. I know. I know.

Those places were so great. Exactly. All right. So I'm going to kick off the five great ones.

And certainly, like many things, this could be 50 or 57 but it's five

with my friend Nicholas Payton's gumbo Nouveau and I think this was right in the middle

obviously we're not going chronologically here but this was right around 95 96 94

something like that but this is such a great record I go back and listen to it like I mean certainly monthly sometimes even But it's just such a great record. I go back and listen to it, like, I mean, certainly monthly, sometimes even weekly.
