First up, "The Ghetto" by Donny Hathaway from the 1970 album , Everything Is Everything.
I actually first ran across this song when it was used in the soundtrack to the TV show Black Lightning. I have loved it since. (1970s jazz wasn't an era I listened to much... 1950s, 1940s, and some early 60s...
I love jazz saxophone from any era. This is "The Ruby and the Pearl" by Branford Marsallis. It was released in 2004.
The standards become standards for a reason. Mostly good songwriting. Thelonious Monk playing "Caravan," which was orginially recorded by Duke Ellington in the 1930s. Many people have recorded "Caravan" over the years, including a few associated with Exotica Jazz.
