by Troy Dostert
We were treated to another superb year of creative jazz and improvised music in 2025, with a broad range of projects seeking to extend the boundaries of jazz into and beyond other idioms. Chamber-adjacent outfits such as the Hemphill Stringtet and Patricia Brennan's latest ensemble blurred the border between jazz and contemporary classical music, while Miguel ...
Ye Olde 2: Ye Olde 2: At the End of Time
by Glenn Astarita
Ten years after the first Ye Olde (Yestereve Records, 2015) was framed around a fantasy quest into a riotous Brooklyn guitar summit, trombonist extraordinaire Jacob Garchik returns with Ye Olde 2: At the End of Time, a 48-minute sci-fi prog jazz odyssey stretching from the heat death of the universe to the resurrection of consciousness itself. ...
Don Ball’s Favorite Jazz Albums of 2025
by Don Ball
Whether these are best releases in 2025 or not, they are the ones that resonated most with me. And 2025 seemed a good year for guitarists; they were often a driving force on many of these recordings and an important element in the mood and atmosphere of the songs.

Julius Gawlik, Conference Call & Camila Nebbia
by Maurice Hogue
German saxophonist Julius Gawlik has captured my attention whenever I've heard him play, particularly of late with Jim Black's The Schrimps. His brilliance has taken him to the NDR Big Band at only 23 years old, and now he's released a very fine debut It's All In Your Head. More saxophone of note comes from the ...

by Libero Farnè
Bologna Jazz Festival 2025 Varie sedi Bologna e Ferrara 9 ottobre--16 novembre 2025 C'è da domandarsi se si possa definire festival una manifestazione musicale che si protrae per una quarantina di giorni. A Bologna una ragione giustificativa la si può trovare nel volersi ricollegare idealmente al memorabile festival storico, nato alla fine ...

Mary Halvorson's Amaryllis Sextet Domicil Dortmund, Germany November 6, 2025 Sixty seconds before this concert's advertised start time, a member of the venue's tech team deposited a gym towel on each on-stage music stand.

Presenting Great Music: Adam Hopkins and Scott Clark of Out of Your Head Records
by Don Ball
It is difficult to make a living as a musician, especially as a jazz musician, and even more so as an avant-garde/free jazz musician. Venues are hard to come by, especially outside of major cities. The COVID pandemic made things worse, closing many of the few places that were available for live jazz. Even putting out ...
Patricia Brennan: Of the Near and Far
by Troy Dostert
Not one to rest on her laurels, vibraphonist/marimbist Patricia Brennan has continued to challenge herself and her listeners with each stop in the studio.
