Kind Folk is a new jazz supergroup that lives up to the promise its first time out, with ‘Why Not.’

‘Omnisphere’ combines the nimble gumption of Medeski, Martin & Wood with theconvention-busting modern creative twenty-person band Alarm Will Sound in a gutsy collaboration.

Henry Kaiser has long found spiritual fulfillment playing music informed by the ancient songs of Korean Shamanism. This time he finds further fulfillment in the comradery of musicians who like him understand the power of the mudang.

The fourth Frequency Response release from Tom Abbs could well be his last for a long time; the man’s got things to do. If that’s the case, it’s all the more reason to savor ‘Hawthorne.’

Like the Real Thing, you might attempt to resist the 1957 Tail-Fin Fiasco’s “39 Grams” but let’s face it, you can’t.

Get used to seeing that adjective ‘funky’ applied to the Jeff Lorber Fusion’s latest album ‘Impact;’ it applies all over this record and that’s just the way it was intended.

In unveiling his Superette band, Chris Lightcap shows that he invests a fair amount of serious artistry into his work even when he’s making casually fun music.

No adjustment was necessary for this new collaboration, because Sonar or David Torn complement each other uncommonly well on ‘Vortex.’

‘Espresso’ doesn’t always stick to the script of being an acoustic trio playing straight-ahead jazz, but Bob James never really chose a side.

Ivo Perelman, that endless fountain for saxophone phraseology, is finally slowing down.
