Xhosa Cole, Nicola Miller & Art Jackson’s Atrocity

There's a seemingly endless pool of great saxophonists that have emerged from Birmingham, England's scene---Andy Hamilton, Soweto Kinch & Shabaka Hutchings to name a few—with the latest, Xhosa Cole whose career is taking off. Named the 2018 BBC Young Jazz Musician of the Year Award, Cole has gained much attention, and his third release On A Modern Genius Vol. 1 focused on the music of Thelonious Monk will no doubt boost the interest further. It's the feature recording in this edition of One Man's Jazz. Other new recordings sampled come from saxophonists Desiderio Lazaro from Portugal and Canada's Nicola Miller who got her career back on track studying with Frank Gratkowski, trombonist Reut Regev's R-Time, and the unique combination of double bass and the gayageum from Brandon Lopez and DoYeon Kim. Plus, was there really a '70s band, the Martin Jackson Atrocity, that Miles Davis was pushing to Columbia Records, or was it really all a fake?
