Nick Freer: Apperceptions
by Glenn Astarita
Australian guitarist Nick Freer makes no secret of his admiration for Allan Holdsworth, and Apperceptions wears that influence proudly, like a sharp suit cut from familiar cloth. Legato runs that melt note boundaries, chord voicings that wander through restless harmonic territory, and melodies approached sideways rather than head-on--it is all there, executed with clear devotion.
Shmeisani Jazz Massive: Shmeisani Jazz Massive
by Blue Summers
Jazz is alive and living in Jordan. Shmeisani Jazz Massive is an Amman-based band, but do not expect much in the way of local musical influences (not that that would be a bad thing). These guys would sound at home in any American jazz club. The core band consists of Motassem Azar ("Azar") on drums, John McKay ("John") on ...
Hilarious Disasters: Unnatural Root
by Ian Patterson
You can take the gal out of Ukraine, but you cannot take Ukraine out of the gal. Kateryna Ziabliuk may pursue her music in Poland these days, but with Unnatural Root, the debut album of her group Hilarious Disasters, Ziabliuk draws deeply from her Ukrainian traditions. The Kyiv-born pianist, composer and journalist--she co-founded the jazz portal ...

Triple Blind: Cold Walk
by Rob Garratt
A lot of beautiful, ugly, and--more than anything--middling music was made during the pandemic. In the first camp we might lump Triple Blind, whose remotely recorded, self-titled debut EP was defined by the isolation of its players. So for its follow-up, the quartet appear at pains to underline the shared space and interpersonal interaction that birthed ...

Entre Amigos: Joyful Foundation
by Jack Bowers
Joyful Foundation is a near-perfect name for the third album by Entre Amigos, wherein the Chicago-based quartet welcomes aboard one of the jazz world's rising stars, trumpeter Justin Copeland, to play--naturally--The Music of Justin Copeland on an album whose upbeat posture and sunny disposition help make it utterly charming and highly listenable. There is, ...
Marco Colonna: Eight Decades
by Neri Pollastri
Marco Colonna è autore prolifico, solito sia documentare situazioni musicali più o meno estemporanee cogliendole dal vivo, sia dedicare lavori musicali ad eventi, luoghi, persone, specie se simbolicamente rappresentanti della critica complessità del mondo in cui viviamo. Per questo, troppo spesso, alcuni suoi lavori non ricevono l'attenzione che meriterebbero, giacché quello che fa --vuoi per le ...
Steven Husted and Friends: Two Nights--'Live'
by Jack Bowers
Two Nights--'Live,' Texas-based bassist Steven Husted's third album, was recorded in front of a (presumably) appreciative audience in April and May 2026 at the Brass Peacock in Georgetown, Texas. The word presumably" is needed because, for reasons unknown, audience response at the end of each number has been erased. Husted's friends" on this concert ...
