There's a sensational Japanese big band discovery in "Fairy Rings" by pianist Masahiko Satoh and Toshiyuki Miyama's New Herd, alongside guitar-led music from Julian Lage and Bill Frisell. Vanisha Gould contributes the sharp, gorgeously sung "Who Knows," while Sean Mason's trio offers the engaging "Honey Pie," with Reyna Nuñez and LeAndre Douglas dancing in the studio as part of the creative process. Pianist Walter Bishop Jr. and drummer Chico Hamilton's tracks each bring a welcome flute feature, with plenty of hard bop and soul jazz from Dexter Gordon, Tina Brooks, Lou Donaldson and Gigi Gryce, plus Full Moon's still-fresh "Three Step Dance" from 1971.
