Ambrose Akinmusire, Omri Zeigele, Adam Caine & More
by Maurice Hogue
When a highly respected saxophonist like David Binney recommends a young up-and-coming musician, I tend to pay attention. Los Angeles trombonist Logan Kane and his Nonet live up to the tip on his new Nope, Science, one of the featured new releases hitting this week. Also of great interest are albums from the much-admired trumpeter Ambrose ...

Another saxophonist, American Seth Trachy, brought along his mentor, the very respected ...

A sample of his new album ...

Three albums by drummers highlight this episode.

Tying ...

Lina Allemano, Yaroslav Likhachev, Pauli Lyytinen and More
