Murmullo features five young and very talented musicians whose surety and confidence in what they do is growing.

#Bloomerangs has achieved something which is not easy on ‘Moments and Fragments,’ linking many different influences and musical references.

Susanne Ortner’s journey to New Orleans was partly due to her seeking “Sehnsucht,” a German word for yearning or wistful longing.

With ‘Black and White Volume 1,’ Julia Biel has become a confident, characterful musician who can deliver numbers with certainty.

Ruby Turner’s voice has the ability to lift, charge emotionally and occasionally drop the listener into a void, longing for more.

Enjoyable, well-honed and expertly delivered, Erodoto Project’s ‘Molon Labe’ is a really engaging recording.

Jeff Goldblum has a style that’s light-fingered, dexterous and at times pithy. You get the sense he is not out to prove anything.

ARQ’s ‘Short Stories’ is a thing of beauty, an album that celebrates life rather than dwelling on losses that sparked three of its tracks.

Day and Taxi’s ‘Devotion’ is an outstanding album with a rich combination of improvisation, tonal musicality and depth.

We find John Coltrane on the cusp of a breakthrough with ‘A Love Supreme,’ with perhaps his best ensemble of musicians ever.
