Freddie Hubbard: On Fire--Live From The Blue Morocco
by Jack Kenny
Freddie Hubbard is a conundrum. His style has varied significantly over the years, as though he were unsure of himself at a deep level. There were the Blue Note years, then the funk years, where he gained money and lost credibility. The all-encompassing technique was displayed in so many contexts, with Art Blakey, Ornette Coleman, John ...
Yaron Herman: Radio Paradise
by Anastasia Bogomolets
"When I started working on this album, the first thing that came to my mind was melody. I have been writing a lot over the last few years, mostly in my notebooks, for myself. On the road or at home, anything from long lines to short fragments. With time, (and hard work) these “motifs" started to ...
Charlie Ballantine: East by Midwest
by Dan McClenaghan
A bracing guitar/bass/drums trio outing from guitarist Charlie Ballantine, East By Midwest, sounds as if it was recorded in a large, high-ceilinged warehouse with a cement floor, that floor buffed into the next dimension to a high polish, this giving the music a beautiful resonance.

Prescribing Jazz: A Top Ten
by Artur Moral
National Doctors' Day is celebrated unevenly across our mistreated planet. It is absent in most countries, while it is observed as a holiday in a few.

Reggie Watkins: Rivers
by Paul Rauch
Jazz on an international scale is actually just a network of smaller, local jazz scenes that in 2025 exist in virtually every nation on earth. Most of the music happens on the local scene, where the closest of musical alliances are formed. Trombonist Reggie Watkins has managed to take us to that sacred place on his ...
Paul Bley: Open, to Love
by Jack Kenny
Reviewing an album that is already heralded as a masterpiece, the highlight of the work of Paul Bley, is intimidating. The quality of the recording as issued on CD was already magnificent. Would it be enhanced on vinyl, revealing hidden depths? When Bley sat down at the piano in Oslo, he was already the ...
Michael Bisio: NuMBq

With NuMBq, Bisio blurs the line ...
