There's some great music coming in 2026, so I dropped in a preview tracks of upcoming albums by alto saxophonist Angelika Niescier collaborating with some of Chicago's finest, England's free jazz pianist Pat Thomas with XT (2.5 hours of screamin' free jazz on Strata Act (Joy Contemporary), Chicago's cellist supreme Tomeka Reid & quartet, Flea from the Red Hot Chili Peppers (on trumpet, too), and This Is Wuppertal! from the Trondheim Jazz Orchestra led by the excellent Norwegian bassist Ole Morten Vågan. There are also tracks by guitarist Fred Frith with drummer Mariá Portugal from their Matter and by solo bassist from Lithuania, {m: Vytis Naviskas}}. The closer is a track by the brilliant drummer/percussionist Marilyn Mazur who sadly has left us. Her ideas were wider than the sky. R.I.P. Marilyn.Playlist
