Linda May Han Oh & Melissa Aldana: Beneath Lifted Skies

Read "Beneath Lifted Skies" reviewed by Andrew Schinder

by Andrew Schinder
August 22, 2026

Bassist Linda May Han Oh and tenor saxophonist Melissa Aldana, two modern jazz powerhouses, have recorded one of 2026's most delightful jazz surprises, the duet album Beneath Lifted Skies (Biophilia Records, 2026). Oh and Aldana are two of the music's strongest contemporary players, potent in both overall skill as well as sound, and that intensity serves them ...

2025 Year in Review by the Numbers: The Magnificent Seven and the Pluralism of Taste

by Marek J. Śmietański
February 17, 2026

My Journey From Sports Analytics to Counting Jazz I've always had a soft spot for statistics and rankings--especially those that try to say something more than just “what people like." This is probably a result of my rigorous mathematical-informatics education and the scientific research I conducted over a dozen years ago on classification and ranking methods ...

I Dischi del 2025 secondo Ludovico Granvassu

by Ludovico Granvassu
January 5, 2026

Immortalare la bellezza e la varietà del jazz pubblicato nel 2025 attraverso una “top ten" appare tanto arduo, vano--e alla fine deludente--quanto cercare di fotografare un tramonto sulla costiera amalfitana usando una rudimentale fotocamera digitale e facendo un forellino sul copriobiettivo. Certo, una foto verrà scattata. Potrebbe persino dimostrare che eri lì, in quel momento, quando ...

Paolo Peviani's Favorite Jazz Albums of 2025

by Paolo Peviani
January 4, 2026

When looking at today's jazz recording industry, it is hard not to feel that something essential has gone missing: real selection at the source--producers willing to take responsibility, to filter, to choose. This is not a new phenomenon, but one that now seems to be reaching a breaking point. In the overwhelming flood of releases, identifying ...

Ludovico Granvassu's Garden Of Jazzy Delights 2025

by Ludovico Granvassu
January 3, 2026

Capturing the breathtaking beauty, range, and diversity of jazz released in 2025 through a list of “10 best albums" feels as challenging, vain--and ultimately disappointing--as trying to photograph the Grand Canyon at sunset by placing a pinhole in front of a rudimentary digital camera's lens. Sure, a picture will be taken. It might even prove you ...

I dischi del 2025 secondo Paolo Peviani

by Paolo Peviani
December 31, 2025

Si avverte sempre più la mancanza di una selezione a monte, di produttori capaci di filtrare e fare scelte. È un trend che non scopriamo oggi, ma che sembra ormai vicino a un punto di rottura. Nel mare magnum delle uscite discografiche diventa sempre più difficile individuare lavori di reale valore. Per fortuna, almeno ...

Angelo Leonardi's Best Jazz Albums Of 2025

by Angelo Leonardi
December 24, 2025

The five U.S. jazz albums and the five Italian jazz albums selected here represent, in my view, the very best of what was released in 2025. They stand out for their innovative spirit, expressive intensity, and interpretive freshness. The list is not ranked: each title fully deserves its place at the top. Patricia ...

I dischi del 2025 secondo Angelo Leonardi

by Angelo Leonardi
December 23, 2025

I cinque dischi di jazz internazionale e i cinque di jazz italiano qui selezionati si collocano, a mio parere, ai vertici di quanto è stato pubblicato nel 2025. Si distinguono per forza innovativa, intensità espressiva e freschezza interpretativa. L'elenco non segue un ordine di valore: ogni titolo occupa, a pieno titolo, il proprio posto al vertice. ...
