Brandon Seabrook: Hellbent Daydream
by Glenn Astarita
Brandon Seabrook's Hellbent Daydream arrives as a bold, surreal dispatch from the mind of one of New York's most restlessly inventive guitarists and banjoists. Long known for fusing punk rock energy, jazz improvisation, pop sensibilities and metal intensity, Seabrook assembles a striking drummer-less quartet here: Elias Stemeseder on piano and synthesizers, Henry Fraser on bass and ...

Satoko Fujii: Indefatigable
by Doug Collette
Satoko Fujii's indefatigable artistic versatility may very well be the source of the generally arresting quality of her work. By the same token, no matter the form, her creations may in turn ignite the foundational inspiration for new projects. Witness two titles released within two months of each in 2025, on both of which Fujii returns ...
Mike Clark and Phil Haynes: Keep Beating The Drum(s)
by Doug Collette
A great drummer is the driving force of any band's performances, whether on stage or in the studio. So, is it any surprise that jazz ensembles led by drummers invariably evince strong collective personalities, even if the members of those groups are as self-motivated and inner-directed as their leader(s)? Each of these bands, led by Mike ...
A Wind For All Seasons
by Dan Bilawsky
There is something positively elemental in the artistry of Martin Wind. Beyond being one of the music's premier bassists, he is a creatively driven composer and leader--a seemingly bottomless font of expression in action--and his work most certainly represents the breadth, and breath, carried in his name. One minute he's conjuring a Brazilian Nordeste with buoyant ...

Echoing Ravel's harmonic conversations and guided by the environmental philosopher Glenn Albrecht, who describes his concept of solastalgia as a form of homesickness while we are still at home, Davis and Poland's revered Lutosławski Quartet, named for twentieth-century ...

Martin Wind: Stars
by Pierre Giroux
A chamber-jazz glow hangs over Stars a sessions featuring renowned bassist and composer Martin Wind, with a quietly luminous quartet including legendary pianist Kenny Barron, exceptional clarinetist Anat Cohen, and imaginative drummer Matt Wilson.
