Andrew Hill, Ralph Burns, Joe Henderson
by David Brown
In the set I'd like to remember jazz pianist/composer Andrew Hill who was born 94 years ago on June 30, 1931. Hill's music defied categorization for over four decades with its enigmatic and sophisticated musical style. Tracks include two Hill works, a cover by drummer Chad Taylor and a collaboration with pianist Jason Moran. New releases ...
New Music from Weiss, Flying Sutra, Jackson Heinemann and Shead, & More
by Bob Osborne
Perhaps the most fascinating and rewarding gift from jazz music is its' unpredictability. On this show the selection of new releases continue to demonstrate that the music never fails to surprise and excite. As well as new material there is further exploration of Ivo Perelman's back catalogue on Leo Records and the recent reissue of the ...
Armageddon Flower, Felix Henkelhausen Quintet & Darrifourcq/Hermia/Ceccaldi
by Maurice Hogue
It seems like everyone is talking or writing about Armageddon Flower, the excellent new album by Ivo Perelman and Matthew Shipp's String Trio. It may well be the pinnacle of the Perelman/Shipp musical relationship, and it will no doubt be one of the more highly regarded albums of 2025. But can I throw a little light ...
James Brandon Lewis Quartet At Solar Myth

James Brandon Lewis Quartet Solar Myth Philadelphia, PA June 9, 2025 Freshly minted album in hand, the James Brandon Lewis quartet filed down the center aisle of Solar Myth and took the stage before a sold-out, anticipatory audience.

Darrifourcq/Hermia/Ceccaldi, Evans/Eldh & Irène Schweizer
by Maurice Hogue
There are two mini themes running through this edition of One Man's Jazz: one is musical partners, as in the trio of Sylvain Darrifourcq, saxophonist Manuel Hermia and cellist Valentin Ceccaldi who have released but three recordings in their 13 years of trio-hood yet believe their time spent together has let them develop into one of ...

James Brandon Lewis Quartet with Aruán Ortiz, Brad Jones and Chad Taylor: Abstraction Is Deliverance
by Mark Corroto
John Coltrane, Sonny Rollins and David S. Ware cast long shadows over Abstraction Is Deliverance, the fifth release from the James Brandon Lewis Quartet. These tenor saxophone titans have influenced Lewis since his breakout major-label debut Divine Travels (Okeh, 2014). Yet while their legacy is acknowledged, it never overshadows the bold, present-tense expression of Lewis's own ...
Strata-East, James Brandon Lewis & Phil Haynes
by Maurice Hogue
Back in the '70s and '80s, flicking through the LPs at a favourite record store and finding the latest Strata East releases made the trip worthwhile. Established by trumpeter Charles Tolliver and pianist Stanley Cowell, the label that was dedicated to spiritual jazz and social consciousness was releasing music by some of the most important artists ...
Barbara Bruckmüller Jazz Orchestra, feat. Aruán Ortiz: A Chain of Moments
by Artur Moral
Julio Cortázar's Rayuela (1963), Mark Z. Danielewski's House of Leaves (2000) and Chris Ware's Building Stories (2012) are novels--both written and graphic--that stand out, not just for their literary merit, but also for the various ways readers can engage with them. A similar phenomenon occurs on the listening level with A Chain Of Moments: Suite in ...
