Branford Marsalis, Lucas Lee and Tim Morse are part of the latest edition of Five for the Road, an occasional look at music that’s been in my car lately.

The Ivo Perelman Trio’s ‘Garden of Jewels’ is a feast of ear food delivered with passion, fearlessness and a unity of purpose.

“Orphan,” the first single from 2015’s ‘Toto XIV,’ further cements Joseph Williams’ standing as the best of all Toto vocalists.

Glenn Miller and Duke Ellington may have shuffled off this mortal coil, but Ed Palermo and 8-Bit Big Band are among those proving this sound isn’t dead yet.

San Francisco Bay-area standout Richard Turgeon really should be a household name at this point. Perhaps “Goodbye to Summer” will do the trick.

Put simply, “Mah-Jong” wouldn’t have worked on anything Chicago put out between 1982’s ’16’ and 1991’s ‘Twenty 1.’ But it fits in perfectly here.

Genesis legend Steve Hackett chatted with Ross Boissoneau as he prepared to release the upcoming acoustic project ‘Under a Mediterranean Sky.’

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.

Mark Wingfield joined Ross Boissoneau to discuss career-shaping albums by Kenny Wheeler, Miles Davis and Jan Garbarek.

Musically gratifying and lyrically vibrant, “Words On a Page” would have made an excellent addition to ‘Fly From Here.’ Luckily, it’s available now.
