Arturo O'Farrill's Afro Latin Jazz Orchestra. Their latest recording and the first album in his famed recording catalog to exclusively include all originally written compositions. Weaving together empowering messages for the times, the album portrays the pioneering pianist as outspoken as ever on the obligation of artists to speak truth to the great injustices occurring across the globe.
Daniel Carter, Patrick Holmes, Matthew Putman. A remarkable trio session from members of the Telepathic Band.
Matty Stecks & Musical Tramps. With his first double album effort, Matt Steckler has created something eclectic along the following streams: modern jazz, film score, musique concrète and popular song.
Posi-tone Swingtet. Marc Free assembles players from the Posi-tone repertory theatre company of musicians to celebrate 25 years of making music.
Rob Luft. The award-winning 25-year-old jazz guitarist from London returns with his second album as a leader.
Ximo Tebar's latest project is a song to freedom and brotherhood among peoples, reflected in a project for a new approach to the big band . It fuses jazz with African dance and percussion in a return to the roots of "Groove."
