Connor Bernhard: Pathways
by Jeff Cebulski
Nearly five years after his debut album Altitude (BASE Records, 2020), Chicago trumpeter Connor Bernhard gathered most of that album's cohorts for his second recording as a leader, Pathways. What also returns is the same bright, engaging horn that distinguishes Bernhard and lifts the proceedings significantly. His band--the three repeaters Julius Tucker on piano, Jeff Swanson ...
Heidi Martin: Attunement
by Neil Duggan
Born from two years of research at Rutgers University, Attunement finds singer-songwriter Heidi Martin tracing the life, work and journals of jazz artist and civil rights activist Abbey Lincoln. The result is anything but a conventional tribute; it is more a channelling of Lincoln's spirit, one that has pushed Martin to some of the most ambitious compositional work ...
Sean Imboden Large Ensemble: Uncharted Realms
by Jack Bowers
Saxophonist and composer Sean Imboden's Large Ensemble springs forth from America's heartland--more specifically, the thriving capital city of Indianapolis, Indiana. The ensemble is indeed large--18 members strong--and Imboden gives every one of them serious work to do on the group's second recording, Uncharted Realms, unraveling a series of colorful and adventurous charts written with the ensemble's ...
Trombocalist Big Band: The Vigil and the Sleeping Giant
by Jack Bowers
Even those whose batting averages are high are not immune from life's unforeseen and often disastrous curve balls. Low-brass multi-instrumentalist Ron Wilkins, riding the wave as a successful musician and bandleader, learned that the hard way when he was struck by Covid in 2020 and spent more than a month in a medically induced coma with ...
Charles Ruggiero: Plays Monk Live! At The Baked Potato
by Jack Bowers
Perhaps no other composer has contributed more standards to the jazz canon than Thelonious Sphere Monk, whose music was once considered too atypical and erratic for the mainstream. Times and tastes have changed, however, and on second glance, Thelonious Monk's compositions, even when skirting the norm, seem nowhere near as deviant as before. In 2026, it ...

Martin Kohlstedt: Kluft
by Neil Duggan
German composer, pianist and record producer Martin Kohlstedt has been refining and focusing his unique soundscape since his initial solo release in 2012. He works with a modular approach, blending acoustic, upright piano with Fender Rhodes and a gallery of electronic keyboards, using improvisation to move between jazz and a range of avantgarde, ambient and cinematic ...
Peter Erskine: Peregrine
by Jack Bowers
Drummer Peter Erskine, who began his productive career with the Stan Kenton Orchestra in the last century, is a master craftsman who is comfortably at home in groups large or small. Along the way, he has recorded more than forty-five albums as leader or co-leader of various ensembles, always embracing his assignment with proficiency and taste. ...
Finely Tuned Elephant: No Goats
by Dan McClenaghan
The Ottawa-based jazz-rock group, Finely Tuned Elephant, sounds like a band that Steely Dan might have hired to craft their sound. A quartet comprised of guitarist Jordan Robinson (the group's leader), bass guitarist Cyrus Robertson Orkish, keyboardist Alex Lugli and drummer Kyle Iveglia crafts a sharp, tight sound. They are snappy and upbeat. A blind listen ...
Chris Aschman: Volcanic
by Jack Bowers
Although multi-instrumentalist Chris Aschman's third recording may be a shade less than Volcanic, it does deliver some heavy punches marshaled from its roots in the funk/rock/fusion format. Aschman, who plays trumpet and steel pans, is clearly on board with that, as he wrote all save one of the album's seven numbers and arranged every one.
