From Plato's Cave to Señor Blues: new voices and classic tracks from Miles Davis, Lucas Walters, Clifford Jordan, Ruben Fox and more

Click the play button to listen

Tenor saxophonist Clifford Jordan's Soul Fountain may once have been considered a relatively lightweight album compared with much of his work as a leader and sideman, but it's full of familiar tunes, funky grooves and Latin rhythms. His version of Horace Silver's "Señor Blues," featuring trumpeter Jimmy Owens and trombonist Julian Priester, is a particular highlight. From there, this edition of Jazz on the Beach moves between new releases and deeper catalogue discoveries, with Lucas Walters' "Plato's Cave," Tyler Henderson's "Eight Ball," and music from Ruben Fox, Tomoki Sanders and Italian trumpeter Mattia Basilico. There's hard bop, soul jazz and plenty in between.
