When a highly respected saxophonist like David Binney recommends a young up-and-coming musician, I tend to pay attention. Los Angeles trombonist Logan Kane and his Nonet live up to the tip on his new Nope, Science, one of the featured new releases hitting this week.

The Confront Recording's Collectors Series is distinguished by the packaging of its CDs which arrive in a DVD sized metal box.

Veryan Weston / Jon Rose / Hannah Marshall: Tuning Out

By JOHN EYLES
