Il arrive que les planètes s’alignent et cet enregistrement en est la preuve éclatante. Alignement numérique d’abord puisque Jacques-Schwarz-Bart et Grégory Privat, tous deux nés un 22 décembre à 22 ans d’écart, se connaissaient depuis 22 ans lorsqu’ils ont décidé d’unir leurs sensibilités caribéennes dans un duo [1], qu’ils ont choisi, comme une évidence, de nommer 22. On ne pouvait trouver meilleur résumé - de surcroît lisible dans toutes les langues - d’une complicité qui éclate ici au grand jour, au long de dix compositions originales dégagées de tout impératif autre que l’expression d’une passion partagée.

Featuring leading Scandinavian bassist Jesper Bodilsen, drummer Morten Lund, and pianist Henrik Gunde.

Contemporary jazz icons Bob James and Dave Koz mark a unique milestone with this aptly titled duo album Just Us, a piano and saxophone only collection of fresh originals and colorful re-imaginings of Great American Songbook standards. Its inspired format ventures spontaneously beyond the trademark sounds that fueled their superstardom and years of Billboard chart-topping successes into something entirely new, and fresh. A must listen for any fan of these artists.

Influenced by Ray Brown and Ron Carter, standup bassist John Patitucci is best known for his time spent with Chick Corea and Wayne Shorter. Many of his most recent albums have been in configurations with drummer Brain Blade, and on Spirit Fall, the two team with tenor and soprano saxophonist Chris Potter as the John Patitucci Trio. Recorded in one day at Brooklyn's Bunker studio, this session is composed entirely of original Patitucci compositions with the exception of Shorter's "House of Jade." Trio formats allow for lots of soloing freedom for each player and on "Deluge on 7th Ave," Patitucci slides into the groove via a lengthy opening solo. Potter follows, playing the tune's winding midtempo melody while the ever-resourceful Blade adds tasteful cymbal, tom and snare work in the background. At the center of the track is Patitucci's fully absorbed solo playing, a skill that makes him one of the most recognizable bass voices today. The title track opens with Patitucci playing bass in its higher, guitar-like register before Potter enters on soprano saxophone, weaving a dexterous line where at times he's blowing hard and at other moments he's easing into long melodic lines.

Arba - Borochov's fourth album as leader, was recorded in 2022 with his quartet of in-demand New York musicians and Grammy award-winning producer Matt Pierson, and is due for release on 8th September 2023 on Greenleaf Music. The nine original compositions celebrate an emergence from a time of hopelessness and loss to a recognition of faith in the radiant life-force. Borochov performs on a custom-made Monette 4-valve quarter-tone trumpet which he uses to incorporate Maqams into his playing (the middle-eastern microtonal modes that are the musical language of his traditional upbringing).

Gifts–recorded with the Weavers quartet–serves as a deeply personal musical memoir.

Kelly Green is a brilliant pianist, vocalist, and composer who has an inimitable presence on the NYC Jazz scene. Having headlined iconic venues including The Kennedy Center, Dizzy’s Jazz Club, and the DC Jazz Festival and having shared stages with jazz giants such as Steve Wilson, George Coleman, and Scott Robinson, it is no surprise that Green’s first three albums were received with great acclaim through written reviews and consistent radio play. Armed with this manifold experience and equipped with mastery from her time as a protege to legendary pianists Harold Mabern and Mulgrew Miller, Green strikes forward once again and presents Seems.

Back with a newly formed quintet, gathered together for a particularly fruitful 2024 session in Southern France, the German pianist Benjamin Lackner presents a different and exciting side of his composer-approach. Trumpeter Mathias Eick is the sole returnee from Lackner’s debut Last Decade, and can be heard in striking dualism with Mark Turner’s idiosyncratic saxophone dialect, forming a key-characteristic of the interplay that permeates Spindrift.

Sebastian Zawadzki (born 14 October 1991) is a Polish-born jazz pianist, composer and film composer living in Copenhagen who has been releasing albums since 2014 as well as composing and arranging music for a wide array of media including TV and films.

The trio collides Nordic serenity with vibrant jazz energy to create a soundscape that is earthy, minimalistic and irresistibly groovy - and probably something you've never heard before.
