Rafael Enciso: Bassist Intends To Search, Remember And Evolve
by Dean Nardi
Turn your ears on jazz heads, and you'll hear Rafael Enciso and his quartet playing around New York City's five boroughs. And somewhere nearby, someone will surely be listening to his cooling and coiling debut record Crossfades (2025) on Dayna Stephens' Contagious Music label. It slithers down bowling alley lanes and soda pop convenience store aisles ...

by Mark Edelman
The Hot Sardines Birdland New York, NY April 14, 2026 A noodle shop near Times Square may have marked their beginning, but the 9:30 show down the street at Birdland was the spot for pianist Evan Palazzo and vocalist Elizabeth Bougerol to serve up some classic American jazz.

Carlos Henriquez: Monk Con Clave
by Pierre Giroux
Carlos Henriquez has long understood that rhythm tells stories long before words arrive. On Monk Con Clave, he takes Thelonious Monk's angular brilliance and brings it back to the streets, dance halls, and other crowded spaces across New York's Afro-Caribbean neighbourhoods. The result is not merely a tribute album but a living dialogue between Monk's genius ...
Elsa Nilsson: Liminal
by Mike Jurkovic
If, for just 52 minutes, one needs to step away from the breach, do not hesitate to push play on Liminal. A Brooklyn conceptualist by way of Sweden and Seattle, “Andetag" (Swedish for “breath") opens flautist/composer Elsa Nilsson's Liminal. But, all things considered, it could have been sequenced anywhere in the playlist given Nilsson's nod ...

Lakecia Benjamin: We Dream
by Andrew Schinder
In a genre full of peaceniks, Lakecia Benjamin is a killer. Benjamin, the alto saxophonist, vocalist and multi-instrumentalist, has exploded over the course of the 2020's--both figuratively and musically. Her sound is brash and resonant, yet delicately composed and precisely structured. Benjamin is a focused musician, with all of her artistic choices brimming with ...
Lakecia Benjamin: We Dream
by Mike Jurkovic
Lakecia Benjamin is clearly pulling no punches on We Dream. Not that she ever has, given a discography that includes 2020's Pursuance: The Coltranes (Ropeadope Records); 2012's intoxicating, groove-crazy Retox (Motema) or the spellbinding sister releases Phoenix (Whirlwind, 2023) and the super stoked Phoenix ReImagined (Live) (Ropeadope Records, 2024). We Dream drops the mic and leaves ...
Warren Wolf: Smoove Vibes
