There seems to be a bit of growing trend to exploring the confluence of poetry and jazz, and this is right down my alley. New York poet Fred Moten and bassist Brandon Lopez have released two albums with Gerald Cleaver that feature stirring free improvisation in lockstep with Moten's political and questioning words. Now Moten and Lopez have combined to release Revision. It's a very worthy addition to the category. Highly respected bassist Michael Bisio leads an off-the-path quartet on his latest, NumBQ joining his bass to viola, English horn and percussion. Bisio's new album will no doubt show up on best-of lists at the end of '25. Two contrasting trumpet albums are featured in this episode—Mexico City-based Jacob Wick's & Japan's Natsuki Tamura who hooked up guitarist Keiji Haino for a fiery first-time meeting. From the European side, Finland's Timo Lassy's trio are captured live, German pianist Julia Hulsmann's quartet maintains the ECM standard of presenting interesting pianists, and a re-release of Rainer Brüninghausen's Freigeweht recalls the early releases of a key contributor to the early ECM sound.Playlist
