Nite Bjuti: Minwi
by Kevin Poindexter
When Nite Bjuti (pronounced Night Beauty), Candice Hoyes, Mimi Jones, and Val Jeanty take to the stage, the surrounding air is charged with energy and anticipation. The trio conjures voices that invoke their ancestral past, and those voices guide them and help to shape and change the future. On Minwi, (Haitian Creole for midnight), Nite Bjuti channels that ...
David Maranha / Rodrigo Amado: Desolation Row
by Kevin Poindexter
David Maranha and Rodrigo Amado's Desolation Row seems to invite you into its world, offering you a front-row seat on a transcendent journey, an opportunity to bear witness to the wonders that are about to transpire. Desolation Row is the duo's second album, and like its predecessor,Wrecks (Nariz Entupido, 2024), it was also recorded live before ...
Møster!: Bolts
by Kevin Poindexter
Møster! has been blowing minds, woofers, and tweeters with their unique blend of Scandinavian noise-rock and psychedelic jazz-punk for six albums. It would be pointless to ask if this band is ready to take the next big leap forward, because they are not really trying to ascend any ladder. In fact, they are not climbing at all; ...
Kiri Ra!: nen
by Kevin Poindexter
The film opens with a wide-angle shot as the camera slowly pans across the scenery: a Finnish lake swallowed by morning fog. Behind the lake is a rolling hill covered with tall, straight, evergreen pines. As the pines poke out of the fog, you can almost smell the deep green needles that sway gently in the ...
Goran Kajfeš Subtropic Arkestra: Goran Kajfeš Subtropic Arkestra & Avin Omar
by Kevin Poindexter
On the first of three collaborative EPs planned for release in 2026, each featuring a different vocalist, Goran Kajfeš Subtropic Arkestra and Kurdish-Swedish vocalist Avin Omar have created a cinematic narrative in just three tracks. Goran Kajfeš Subtropic Arkestra & Avin Omar transports the listener through a moving emotional cycle, guiding them through the darkest of shadows and back ...
Steve Swallow: Winter Songs
by Kevin Poindexter
While it is true that much of the modern jazz landscape thrives on the burning fire of the avant-garde, albums like Steve Swallow's Winter Songs operate on an entirely different frequency. This is a classic ECM Records slow burner--an album that does not flash like lightning, but instead radiates a calm, late-night glow. It evokes the quiet ...
James Brandon Lewis Quartet: Omni
by Kevin Poindexter
James Brandon Lewis is on a remarkable run. Deface the Currency (Impulse!, 2026), his second collaborative album with the Messthetics, placed him at the cutting edge of the fiery fusion of punk and jazz. While that record proved he could invoke the power and fury of 60s Detroit band MC5's rock-and-roll testimonial Are You Ready to ...
Joe Webb: Neath Beat
by Kevin Poindexter
Joe Webb's Neath Beat is the work of a fascinating artist. Obsessed with both football and Britpop, Webb fuses those passions with his love for South Wales, filtering it all through the musical vocabulary of legendary piano titans like Duke Ellington, Thelonious Monk, Oscar Peterson and Count Basie. The result is an album that not only pays tribute ...
Alexander Hawkins: No Nation but Imagination
by Kevin Poindexter
Pianist and composer Alexander Hawkins has spent years at the forefront of the European jazz avant- garde scene, leading various mutations of the standard group format, from solo piano to large ensembles and everything in between. Experimenting with different dynamics, instruments, and musicians, and adapting them to fulfill the needs of the music has been his ...
Janel Leppin: Slowly Melting
by Kevin Poindexter
Haunting, thrilling, gorgeous, these are all words that one could use to describe Slowly Melting, an album of both grace and power by Janel Leppin. Not power in the sense that the album will blow your hair back, but power in the sense that it can shape and change the way you listen, evoking a complex ...
