The re-release of Joe Chambers’ ‘Double Exposure’ should provoke a long overdue re-examination of a career that touched on several turning points in jazz using multiple talents.

We long knew that Cecil Taylor was an intensely creative artist, and it’s remarkable to behold this intensity that never waned even at the end of a sixty-plus year career.

Here is “Oo Long!”, the second advance single from cellist Tomeka Reid’s album ‘Dance! Skip! Hop!’.

Zev Feldman’s Time Traveler Recordings is set to give Woody Shaw’s lost 1976 classic ‘Love Dance’ the high-quality vinyl release treatment.

A solo cello record might not sound like an exciting proposition for some, but with ‘REX,’ Christopher Hoffman puts the instrument at the forefront of modern music.

Camila Nebbia, James Banner and Max Andrzejewski successfully capture the spirit of creating live while innovating, making ‘Presencia’ an exciting new entry in the catalog of free jazz.

If laying down tracks where John Coltrane’s ‘A Love supreme’ was birthed is a jazz pilgrimage, then Dave Stryker’s ‘Blue Fire, The Van Gelder Sessions’ is a truly religious experience in the jazz sense.

Ivo Perelman and Wadada Leo Smith collectively bring about a century of fearless music creation into ‘Duologues 5,’ and the veteran poise and confidence shows up unfailingly from beginning to end.

Vijay Iyer, Steve Lehman and Tyshawn Sorey come back from seventeen years off to execute with a vengeance on Fieldplay’s ‘Thereupon.’

Breaking up ‘Off the Record’ into four EPs afforded Makaya McCraven the opportunity to construct discreet ‘suites’ whereby he uses his studio sorcery to provide the connective tissue between these primal jams.
