Kris Davis Trio, Propulsion and Porchbone
by Maurice Hogue
This week features the first trio recording by pianist Kris Davis in ten years--Run The Gauntlet. It's on her own label, Pyroclastic, and of course it's excellent.

Patricia Brennan, Ola Tunji & Ingerbrigt Haker-Flaten
by Maurice Hogue
Vibraphonist Patricia Brennan put together a very strong ensemble to make Breaking Stretch, one of the best releases of 2024. Her original compositions and ever-growing skills on her instrument draw on elements of her native Mexico, and that helps to set apart this terrific new album.

Nicole Mitchell, Lina Allemano, Laubrock / Rainey & Parker / Barket / Irabagon

Carlos Bica, Sulida, Gayle / Parker / Graves & Giovanni Guidi

The much-respected guitarist Ben Monder took ten years to painstakingly craft the music on his latest release Planetarium.

There's new music from Europe as usual--the German trio Brom, French soprano sax wizard Emile Parisien and his quartet, and Portuguese drummer Joao Lencastre and ...

Bassdrumbone, Kim Cass & Ivo Perelman
by Maurice Hogue
Ever heard of “fartlek"? It's a method of training for runners where they can play around with their speeds, very unstructured. That's sort of what this episode of One Man's Jazz turned out to be--all over the place in terms of style, tempos, musical variations and origins in the albums debuting. For instance, the Southeast Asian ...
Albert Beger, Matthew Ottignon & Sinaptrico
