Helge Albin: Homemade
by Fran Kursztejn
If the word “fussy" occasionally rears its head when relating the Helge Albin Quintet's newest release, it is not meant as a slight. Albin--an undeniable staple of the Swedish and wider North European jazz scene--is nothing if not insatiable.

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.

Nichols for Your Thoughts
by Patrick Burnette
Normal service resumes with a podcast devoted to tributes celebrating the still-obscure pianist and composer Herbie Nichols. Nichols spent his truncated career in the shadow of Thelonious Monk (a big guy who cast a big shadow).

Steve Lehman Trio and Mark Turner: The Music of Anthony Braxton
by Troy Dostert
Anthony Braxton has long had a reputation as being one of the most abstruse and forbidding musicians of the jazz avant-garde.
