Laura Ann Singh: Mean Reds
by Hrayr Attarian
Vocalist Laura Ann Singh has an adventurous spirit and a unique style. Whether interpreting Brazilian music, standards, or modern classical compositions, Singh puts her indelible mark on everything she tackles. Her ambitious debut, Mean Reds, draws inspiration from vocalist Asha Puthl and saxophonist Ornette Coleman's 1970s collaboration. The eight elegant originals eloquently express a range of ...
Mark Corroto's Best Jazz Albums Of 2025
by Mark Corroto
I have an alternative to the year end list. I prefer a “what I listened to most this past year" list. Even so, the discs below would likely make a “best of" list, but that's not my preference. These are discs (and the dreaded digital files) I kept on a heavy rotation. For instance, I am ...
Webber/Morris Big Band: Unseparate
by Angelo Leonardi
Le sassofoniste Anna Webber e Angela Morris confermano le innovative concezioni orchestrali dimostrate in Both Are True (Greenleaf Music, 2020), con un disco ancor più avvincente, che s'impone tra i migliori dell'anno. L'organico registra pochissime variazioni (le più significativa sono l'ingresso della pianista Marta Sanchez al posto di Marc Hannaford e le assenze della vibrafonista Patricia ...
Presenting Great Music: Adam Hopkins and Scott Clark of Out of Your Head Records
by Don Ball
It is difficult to make a living as a musician, especially as a jazz musician, and even more so as an avant-garde/free jazz musician. Venues are hard to come by, especially outside of major cities. The COVID pandemic made things worse, closing many of the few places that were available for live jazz. Even putting out ...

Adam O'Farrill: For These Streets

Trumpeter and composer Adam O'Farrill distills a heady mix of inspirations into For These Streets, the debut release from his new octet. Drawing on music, literature and the ambiance of the 1930s, the album reflects his immersion in the era--Henry Miller's prose, Charlie Chaplin's City Lights, and the sonic worlds of Stravinsky, Ravel, Carlos Chávez and ...
Adam O'Farrill: For These Streets

Con questo nuovo disco Adam O'Farrill scrive una delle pagine più avvincenti del 2025, confermando di non essere solo un magistrale trombettista ma un compositore d'alto spessore anche per medio organico. Nei quattro album col quartetto Stranger Days, ha dimostrato di saper integrare con coerenza le forme del post bop degli anni sessanta con ...
The Hemphill Stringtet: The Hemphill Stringtet Plays the Music of Julius Hemphill
by Troy Dostert
One of the most multifaceted saxophonists to come out of the 1970s-80s jazz avant-garde, Julius Hemphill exuded both fervid power and delicate sensitivity, always with an underpinning of swing to help anchor him within the jazz tradition. While his iconic releases like Dogon A.D. (Mbari, 1972) and Flat-Out Jump Suite (Black Saint, 1980) are rightly considered ...
The Hemphill Stringtet: The Hemphill Stringtet Plays the Music of Julius Hemphill
by Mark Corroto
Let us borrow a famous tagline from the dairy industry: Got Hemphill? If not, it is time to take a closer listen. Julius Hemphill (1938-1995) was a towering figure in the creative music scenes of both St. Louis, where he co-founded the Black Artists' Group (BAG), and New York's vibrant loft jazz scene of the 1970s ...
