    FYI, on Friday June 5th, bandcamp.com will give all the money for records sold to the artists. I have a couple of jazz guitar things picked out:

    Steve Cardenas, both on his own and with Chris Cheek:
    Steve Cardenas / Chris Cheek

    A relatively unknown player, Scott Sawyer, who just put out a quartet album with tenor sax that sounds a bit like Rosenswinkel with Mark Turner, or even a distant relation of the Scofield/Lovano quartet:

    album review: First Listen: Scott Sawyer’s ‘Night Visions’ - Jim Dixon - Medium
    bandcamp: Night Visions | Scott Sawyer

    Anyone have any good recommendations? Doesn't have to be jazz guitar

    Black Coffee Blues | Albanie Falletta
    I like Albanie Falletta a lot, a bluesy singer-songwriter who crosses over into New Orleans-style swing when she's with her band

    Thanks for the recommendations. I now have several new Sunnyside-label records and some independent London jazz I never would have found on my own.

    My son, Dylan Sherry, and his trio released a beautiful set last year on BandCamp. It's here.

    As a fan of postmodern jazz and yeah, as a proud dad, I recommend it.

    Nice! Which music from the London scene did you pick up?

    I don’t like Bandcamp. I have $0 in sales there. At least I am making a little bit of money on Tunecore and Distrokid. It’s hard being a small market incognito freelance composer. Even though my songs are jazzy jingles containing strong harmonies, strong melodic structures, and well-written lyrics, it’s lost in the mix of garbage original rap songs. I have my best songs buried on Spotify with other rappers. You have like rappers getting millions of streams with rubbish content, while I have much better songwriting skills but getting A stream requires a miracle and I’m not signed to a record label. I deserve a much better fate.

    I listened to samples of everything recommended and liked a lot of it. Yesterday I got Nigel Price - 'Live at The Crypt'. Also got 2 Nelson Veras records, and I'd never heard of him.

    That was on top of about 5-6 Sunnyside label things that I couldn't resist. Thanks for all the good recommendations, I'll return to this list.
