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.

If you haven't heard of singer/pianist Brittany Davis, find her new album Black Thunder now!

Marty Ehrlich's Trio Exaltation, Loot, Enemy & Cosmic Ear
by Maurice Hogue
The much respected woodwind master, Marty Ehrlich, has a thing about trios--he feels a trio is a perfect vehicle to get to the essential core of music. Ehrlich has fronted several great trios with the most recent being Trio Exaltation. The 2018 debut of that band with bassist John Hébert and drummer Nasheet Waits was met ...

Myra Melford Splash, Thomas Heberer's Remedy & Ra Bishop
by Maurice Hogue
It's early in the year to be thinking “best-of" albums, but I'm definitely noting these for December: pianist Myra Melford's Splash Trio with bassist Michael Formanek and drummer Ches Smith and Remedy, the trio of Thomas Heberer trumpet, Joe Fonda bass & Joe Hertenstein drums. These are two recordings that present the kind of free expression ...
Steve Lehman, Nels Cline, Satoko Fujii & Hobbs/Shanko
by Maurice Hogue
It's not easy to find a more accomplished figure in creative music than Anthony Braxton. Alto saxophonist Steve Lehman knows that, and he honours his one-time mentor with a bristling new live album, The Music Of Anthony Braxton, destined for 2025 best-of lists. This recording is a reminder of Lehman's fearlessness. There are other excellent new ...

The 1,400th Edition Of One Man’s Jazz
by Maurice Hogue
When you're older than dirt like I am, each show completed is a milestone, and happily, I'm still around to arrive at 1,400 in the life of this show. For some of these milestones, I try to do something a little different. I always say this show is about the music and the people who make ...
Michael Bisio, Fred Moten/Brandon Lopez & Rainer Brüninghausen
by Maurice Hogue
There seems to be a bit of growing trend to exploring the confluence of poetry and jazz, and this is right down my alley. New York poet Fred Moten and bassist Brandon Lopez have released two albums with Gerald Cleaver that feature stirring free improvisation in lockstep with Moten's political and questioning words. Now Moten and ...
