New Album Alert: Devotion by Muriel Grossman
Muriel Grossmann is a really fascinating saxophonist who has been putting out many fantastic recordings over the last few years. This latest one, Devotion, is really interesting! Heavy blues influence this time.
The Wailing Mall - Alan Palomo
So far, I know nothing about Alan Palomo, but I’ll definitely be learning more after this track
Sandwich - Louie & The Lunch Special
Really enjoyed this album by the multi-talented Louie Zong. Turkey Club was particularly standout.
Laufey
I am really really loving Laufey right now; I’m just in the perfect head space for everything she’s doing.
Shot and Chaser, New and Old
Moanin' - Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers
Watching this, I was struck by how professional this band looks, compared to the picture in my head of casual people hanging out in a smokey room in a basement somewhere.
I Try to Introduce Jazz: Part II: Contemporary
In this part, I try to introduce you to Jazz artists who (at least as far as I know) are working in the here and now. These are people releasing new albums, who you just might be able to find in concert somewhere should you be in the right place and right time (May I be so lucky some day!)
Unlike my last list, this isn’t focused on a particular locale, more a particular time: Our time, now.
This one was hard to keep to a semi-reasonable length. I may do a followup another day!
