I like Another Story too, though it's interesting to hear how much Pine's
style has changed since the early 90s, when he was sounding like late
Coltrane!

Scofield (I think) just released a new album, in the vein of the A go go
stuff (minus Medeski, Martin and Wood). Another cool album is the Blue
Note album "New Directions," which consists of covers of funky standards
from the 60s Blue Note records; Greg Osby is on there with some up and
coming players. It's all acoustic, but borrows a lot of inflections from
hip hop and drum and bass (see the Sidewinder cover).
