As Shakespeare said, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Kurt Elling and Charlie Hunter follow up their Grammy-nominated 2021 album, SuperBlue (Edition), with another sublime blend of jazz and groove.

Kurt Elling: SuperBlue

Read "SuperBlue" reviewed by Angelo Leonardi

Chi segue la scena della black popular music attuale sa che i due sono membri del collettivo Butcher Brown, la band jazz/funk/hip-hop di Richmond che ...

Bassist/Producer Frank Swart's 'Mischief In The Musitorium' Features Vernon Reid, Lenny White, Donald Harrison And More!

A new record bringing together some of the most fearless voices in modern music: Vernon Reid (Living Colour), Nduduzo Makhathini, Jason Marsalis, Lenny White (Miles Davis and Return to Forever), G Calvin Weston (Ornette Coleman), Donald Harrison and Bill Summers (The Headhunters). This album is a collision of alt-jazz, progressive blues, and improvisational fusion- equal parts groove, chaos & cosmos. It doesn’t sit neatly in any category, and that’s the point! Think Ornette meets King Crimson in a NOLA warehouse. ...

Following the success of his previous live, two track recording, Blues & Hues, San Francisco pianist Clifford Lamb again teams up with producer Jeff Weber to pursue their concept of the jazz “mashup”—the process in which a Lamb composition is stirred into an existing jazz work to offer a new perspective on history and culture. This time, they took their show on the road —despite COVID-19 restrictions—to record in New Orleans, the storied birthplace of jazz, whose gritty majesty and ...
