Here is the video premiere of “I Look for Religion in War” from pianist/composer Dave Meder’s upcoming release ‘Unamuno Songs and Stories.’

Peter Frampton, Prog Collective and others are part of the latest edition of Five for the Road, an occasional look at music that’s been in my car lately.

There’s a healthy dose of complexity on ‘Dice of Tenors,’ but Cesar Cardoso’s melodic and musical respect for the original source material remains.

Preston Frazier’s Best Jazz of 2017 list touches on Lara Bello, Nick Finzer and Chris Greene, as well as other favorites from Joe Jackson sideman Vinnie Zummo and Lucas Pino.
