Tina Carr: Moon Over Mildmay
by Neil Duggan
Though jazz has been woven through Tina Carr's life since childhood, she came to performing later than most, launching her career after decades in another profession.

Nils Wülker: Zuversicht
by Neil Duggan
Zuversicht is album number 15 from German trumpeter Nils Wülker. The album title probably needs explanation, though that proves difficult as the word combines numerous ideas that lack a direct English equivalent, making a clean translation impossible. The concept is close to experiencing hope so strongly that we trust in the future, despite all doubts.
Shai Maestro: The Guesthouse
by Neil Duggan
This is pianist Shai Maestro's second release since signing for Naive in 2025.

Laura J Marras: Isotope
by Artur Moral
Laura J Marras first drew Neil Duggan's attention in his review of Alessandro Di Liberto's Punti Di Vista (GleAm Records, 2025), where her alto saxophone is repeatedly highlighted--thanks to her fresh blend of sensitivity and energy. Other press notes on that release, quite rightly, attributed to her traces of John Coltrane and Oliver Nelson, as well ...
Mammal Hands: Circadia
by Neil Duggan
The album title Circadia reflects themes of renewal and change rooted in the cyclical patterns of life.
