Nathan Hanson / Steve Hirsh: Memory Is Subjective
by Mark Corroto
It goes without saying that memory is subjective. Saxophonist Nathan Hanson and drummer Steve Hirsh might tell you that, apart from the experience of attending their October 2025 live performance at the 210 Gallery & Art Center in Sandstone, Minnesota, encountering the resulting recording is an entirely different affair. They would be right. Yet Memory Is ...

by Maurice Hogue
Congratulations to saxophonist / composer / innovator Henry Threadgill & his Zooid band on their 25th anniversary, well-celebrated with the releases of Cut You Where You Was.

by Maurice Hogue
If you haven't heard of singer/pianist Brittany Davis, find her new album Black Thunder now! Ms Davis, who hails from Seattle and is blind, has released a very exciting recording that evokes echoes of Nina Simone, Betty Carter, Fay Victor and other great female singers. The fact that she and her trio, despite not being all ...
Steve Hirsh: Root Causes
by Mark Corroto
Although Steve Hirsh's name appears on the masthead of Root Causes, you might not immediately recognize it as a drummer-led recording. Unlike the unmistakable leadership of Art Blakey, Elvin Jones, and Tony Williams, Hirsh leads with subtlety, functioning more as a selfless, responsive collaborator than a dominant force. The album features a classic piano ...
Myra Melford Splash, Thomas Heberer's Remedy & Ra Bishop
by Maurice Hogue
It's early in the year to be thinking “best-of" albums, but I'm definitely noting these for December: pianist Myra Melford's Splash Trio with bassist Michael Formanek and drummer Ches Smith and Remedy, the trio of Thomas Heberer trumpet, Joe Fonda bass & Joe Hertenstein drums. These are two recordings that present the kind of free expression ...
