Smells Like Teen Spirit
The album "East Meets West" opens with the somewhat unexpected choice of “Smells Like Teen Spirit.” Made famous by the rock band Nirvana, the track stands out for its constantly shifting arrangement by Mina Choi. The original song feels rough and intensely powerful overall, yet its melody carries a strangely wistful quality. Perhaps one reason so many musicians have chosen to arrange this song is the pathos contained within its melody. Here, that melody is explored through a wide range ......

Solar Eclipse
I travelled to Argentina for some gigs and my dear friend and brilliant pianist Russell Kranes who originates from New York but now resides in Argentina introduced me to some extraordinary musicians in Buenos Aires. From the moment we had our first gig together at Thelonious Monk Jazz Club in Buenos Aires, I knew that there was something special about this group. After various gigs that we had together, I felt that our chemistry was effortless and incredible so I ......

Hidden Vibes
HIDDEN VIBES è un brano jazz fusion melodico e sppensierato tratto da SUBTERRANEAN IDEAS, un album ispirato all'idea di un underground musicale: uno spazio appassionato e indipendente dove il jazz fusion continua ad evolversi lontano dal mainstream.
Con le sue calde melodie, i ritmi fluidi e l'atmosfera leggera e spontanea, "Hidden Vibes" riflette il piacere di suonare musica semplicemente per il gusto di farlo. Il brano si inserisce in una più ampia riflessione su uno stile che, nonostante la sua ......

LUMINESCENCE
Agenor Garcia + André Togni
Ever-adventurous pianist Agenor Garcia in exploratory expontaneous duets, now with the drummer/percussionist André Togni. It's noticeable the spaces in their music and, when they sound, it matches to emotional images contrasting silence to build a foundation for this wandering atmosphere. Both artists have been studying body movement and its relationship with musical instruments, understanding that rhythm and body movement are intertwined been necessary to move musically while playing an instrument....SOURCE: All About Jazz

It is a reminder to always remain open to more love and more life, whatever that looks like. Love wins and ......

Bye Bye Blackbird (feat. Raul Midón)
Few artists have done more to shape the modern language of vocal jazz than Janis Siegel. With her five remarkable decades with The Manhattan Transfer and the relationships with all the greats who defined the art, it only makes sense that her newest work would carry the title, The Art of Vocalese. More than a celebration of the uniquely demanding jazz tradition, the album is both a tribute to her mentor, Jon Hendricks, and a reflection on a lifetime devoted to ......

Hubris
Hubris is a piece from Simon Côté-Lapointe ='s Singularités(Hecto, 2026) that embodies uncompromising music, the fruit of a rapport so deeply rooted that it now dispenses with any prior agreement.
For more than twenty years, Simon and Magella have played together in various projects. They have recorded several duo keyboard-and-drums improvisation sessions in studio. Singularités crystallizes this long-standing rapport in its most direct form: free improvisations in keyboard-and-drums duo format.
The album draws on free jazz, fusion, and metal without belonging entirely ......

Pilots in the Basement
“Pilots in the Basement” is taken from La Cueva de Goya, the second EP by the Paris-based Serge Rogalski Trio, following This Is Not a Blues, which was recently reviewed by Sue Yang for All About Jazz.
Built around a dense and unstable dialogue between electric guitar, electric bass and drums, the piece occupies a space where contemporary jazz, free improvisation and experimental rock naturally intersect. Its title suggests an improbable underground navigation, and the music unfolds accordingly: through abrupt ......

Hertsmere Blues
Named after Hertsmere Road in London, the song's inception began while Joey was on tour in the UK a few years ago. A somewhat standard 1-4-5, 12-bar blues progression in the key of A gets a swath of tension with a flat-five sub, a major 6th and some pedaled notes in honor of Les Paul as the song was recorded live at the Les Paul Studio in Hollywood. Hertsmere Blues has all the hallmarks of classic blues with some interesting ......

Falling Grace
Stripping the music to its essentials, saxophonist Todd DelGiudice explores the remarkable freedom and intimacy of the saxophone trio on this program of compelling originals and modern jazz standards. The title, Mas Alto, carries a playful double meaning, "higher" in Spanish, reflecting DelGiudice's continual pursuit of artistic growth, and "more alto," a fitting celebration of the instrument's lyrical power in a format more often dominated by tenor saxophonists. With longtime musical partner Jon Hamar on bass, in two trios with the masterful ......

Gathering
'Gathering' is an album cut from "world" music trio East of West's 4th studio album Velella (4000 Records, 2026). The tune was written in Leigh, New Zealand and is inspired by a spontaneous and wild dinner gathering of more than 50 family members. It recalls a place of connections and family, a place of beauty of land and sea, a place that invites memories. It is a lively number that features the trio's core instruments of double bass, oud and hand percussion.

Maree Latenti
This recording project unfolds as a profound narrative and psychological journey through a soundscape in which the piano engages in a constant dialogue with the forces and elements of nature. The entire album evokes dense atmospheres, characterized by imposing masses of sound, enveloping resonances, and an emotional ebb and flow that oscillates between subtle tension and moments of absolute peace.
