Record Store Day 2026 Jazz Releases
by Kyle Simpler
Many vinyl enthusiasts get excited when the Record Store Day lists appear, and understandably so: most of the titles are limited-run pressings that can disappear quickly once the doors open. The only drawback, however, is that the lists can be overwhelming to sort through, often spanning multiple pages and covering releases across a wide range of ...
Immanuel Wilkins Quartet: Immanuel Wilkins Quartet: Live At The Village Vanguard
by Mike Jurkovic
Firebrand alto-saxophonist Immanuel Wilkins takes over the Village Vanguard and keeps it loose, y'all. From the rogue bossa nova “Ring Shout" and its immediate successor, “Composition II," each scenario has its very own sweep and sway. Take, for instance, the hell-raising, elders-chant fever inherent in “Composition IX." Twenty-three raucous, raise-the-rafters minutes wherein each participant--pianist and fellow ...
Art Edmaiston / Chad Fowler: Memphis Mandala
by Mark Corroto
We often approach recordings as if they were live performances: fully present in the moment, deeply engaged, and then rarely revisited. Like a concert, the sounds drift into the ether, lingering in memory and, perhaps, subtly reshaping the listener's internal landscape. Yet Memphis Mandala, the 2024 live collaboration between saxophonists Art Edmaiston and Chad ...

Esistono molte ragioni per non farsi sfuggire questa splendida riedizione (anche in vinile dal master originale analogico). Primo: Il nome del batterista Roy Brooks resta ingiustamente dimenticato anche se gli unici raffronti possibili--musicalmente parlando--sono con Tony Williams ed Elvin Jones. Affetto da un disturbo bipolare Brooks fu spesso internato in case di cura e in carcere ...

Ignition of the Ages: Sonny Sharrock’s Seismic Siege of the Detroit State Theatre
by Dave Kaufman
Sonny Sharrock was a singular force in music, a brilliant and volcanic guitarist who bridged the jagged divide between the visceral power of Jimi Hendrix and the spiritual depth of John Coltrane. In 1991, he released his masterpiece, “Ask the Ages," a record that remains a high-water mark of modern jazz. Tragically, it would serve as ...
Max Trabucco: Convergence
by Neri Pollastri
L'idea guida di Convergence, ultimo disco del batterista Max Trabucco, è espressa già nel titolo: far convergere le linee dei quattro strumenti monofonici, sovrapponendole e sommandone le possibilità armoniche. E che questa sia l'idea si coglie tangibilmente nella musica, ascoltando quanto siano ridotti, e comunque sempre funzionali al suono d'assieme, gli assoli dei quattro musicisti, come ...
