Nice, thanks friend.
What are some good sources to find out about new jazz albums and/or groups?
Don't have to be review sites.

I don't want to listen to Ravi cause I'd be just sizing him up against John the whole time and that wouldn't be fair on Ravi.

>tfw finally bought a saxophone, instrument that I dreamed about even in my childhood
it feels good, even though I can't play it for shit, working on embouchure, blowing and maybe playing C scale. Every day is a giant step right now, it feels really great.

Where should I start with Trzaska?
Miłość - Miłość or Miłość - Taniec Smoka (first one is rather normal jazz, second one is more of yass)
Łoskot - Koncert w Mózgu if you want the ethno side
Łoskot - Amariuch if you want a bit more erxperimental side
Mikołaj Trzaska - Cześć, Cześć, Cześć, Cześć if you want some nice tunes and a light and fun album.
Mikołaj Trzaska - Kantry is pretty good too, even better if you're familiar with writings of Andrzej Stasiuk.
And I guess that his later albums are even better, but I haven't listened to them yet. If you're a fan of Brotzmann, Trzaska has an album with him.
As a Pole, let me thank you for taking care to use diacritics, but also tell you that we, like apparently most non-English languages, only capitalize the first word.
To przyzwyczajenie z wypisywania angielskich albumów. To jeszcze mogę polecić ci album ze Świetlickim jako że spory nacisk jest tam na słowo.
I polecam jeszcze książkę Chłepcąc ciekły hel, o historii yassu.
I just finished listening to Kantry and I loved it. I even caught a sample that I understood, about the Bosnian war or something. It was some Serbian news broadcast. I'm from Macedonia.
Nice to hear that you liked it. I love it too.
Listening to the Miłość album now. It's great to hear some amazing European jazz.
Check Yass genre on rym, you'll find a lot of great music. Some of them are hard to get, but you'll find most of them on soulseek.
I've managed to find them all so far on slsk.
