A selection of new and not so new this week:

New releases feature: Dave Douglas with his new album shining a light on the legacy of the legendary Dizzy Gillespie.

Nicholas Krolak a great sophomore album from the Philadelphia-based bassist. Krolak is a young veteran of the Philadelphia jazz scene.

Giovanni Guidi, Enrico Rava, Matthew Herbert Big Band a remarkable blend of jazz, sampling and electronica creating an entirely new listening experience.
