Here is the video premiere of “Changes” by Santi de la Rubia & Vinícius Gómes, from their new album of the same name.

‘My Mom’s Getting a Horse’ by Mike Keneally and Scott Schorr’s MFTJ is feel good music for the thinking man/woman.

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

Walter Becker has a message for us from beyond the grave on how we should approach 2021. Check out the new (to us) song “Golden City” from the folks at Walter Becker Media.

Like their previous five long players, Throttle Elevator Music redefines rock-jazz by blending a different kind of rock with a different kind of jazz. It’s organically pure spiritual joy.

There were two discoveries with ‘Science Friction +size’: When a quartet discovered new possibilities with a trumpeter, and when Tim Berne scraped a shiny disc off the floor.

It’s amazing how the tight musical partnership of Natsuki Tamura and Satoko Fujii is able to embrace just one more musician and build a set of performances that fully represents the talents of all three. With drummer Ramon Lopez, ‘Mantle’ musical democracy at its finest.

‘Threads’ is the kind of opening statement that usually takes several tries to nail down, but the Caterpillar Quartet blends a variety of styles to make ostensibly jazz that’s often hard to neatly categorize when you dig deep into these songs.

A meeting of artists who do not impose any rules on themselves is bound to produce music that dares to be dazzling in ways not previously heard, and that’s just what ‘Dust of Light/Ears Drawing Sounds’ by Ivo Perelman and Pascal Marzan delivers.

A global pandemic hasn’t quelled the creative fire of Ikue Mori, Satoko Fujii and Natsuki Tamura, and their long-distance collaboration ‘Prickly Pear Cactus’ doesn’t sound at all like musicians trying to just ‘make do.’
