The video debuting here takes us on a whirlwind tour of Carn Davidson 9’s upcoming new album ‘The History of Us’ and the driving force behind it.

Highly individual artists on their own when they got together the first time, Sylvie Courvoisier and Mary Halvorson forge a highly individual piano/guitar duo for ‘Searching for the Disappeared Hour.’

From two very fertile musical minds come endless ways to approach a duet. with ‘Any News,’ Satoko Fujii and Alister Spence don’t even need to plug in and be in the same room to make theirs compelling.

James Brandon Lewis typically alters his approach from album to album but with his forceful new quartet, the second go-around ‘Code of Being’ is not a bad idea at all.

Here is the premiere of the video to herald the release of saxophonist, composer and bandleader Beth McKenna’s new album ‘Beyond Here.’

‘Village Mothership’ is not merely Whit Dickey, William Parker and Matthew Shipp going off to their corners doing their own thing, these are three strongly distinct musical personalities able to interlock with each other while unconsciously maintaining their identities.

Here is “You Gotta Know,” the soulful vocal debut of the superb jazz pianist and composer Kait Dunton.

Here is the video premiere of “Stir Crazy,” the title song from the Heavyweights Brass Band’s upcoming album out November 5, 2021.

Only by being so open-minded and outside the box leads to truly original art, and guitar/banjo virtuoso Wendy Eisenberg has just made more of that kind of art again with the latest release, ‘Bloodletting.’

There are now lots of practitioners of the electro-acoustic, rock-oriented style of jazz that Eivind Aarset and a few others pioneered. He’s still the best.
