Marilyn Crispell/Harvey Sorgen, The Young Mothers & B.B. King

Read "Marilyn Crispell/Harvey Sorgen, The Young Mothers & B.B. King" reviewed by Maurice Hogue


If you haven't heard the piano trio, Dreamstruck (Marilyn Crispell, Joe Fonda & Harvey Sorgen), put them on your must-listen list. Highly original and free wheeling playing make their two releases much appreciated. Crispell and Sorgen decided to continue making magic as a duo on the new Forest, now available, and it's one of the feature ...

Floros Floridis, Tyshawn Sorey & Phil Haynes’ Daydream Trio

Read "Floros Floridis, Tyshawn Sorey & Phil Haynes’ Daydream Trio" reviewed by Maurice Hogue


This episode is a truly mixed bag featuring drummer-led piano trios, the saxophone playing of a true jazz legend in Greece, live recordings from New York, and the usual music from faraway lands. Drummer Tyshawn Sorey has been hailed as one of the most important creators of our time, and his recent The Susceptible Now continues ...

Steve Coleman, Berne/Formanek & Arthur Blythe

Read "Steve Coleman, Berne/Formanek & Arthur Blythe" reviewed by Maurice Hogue


If you are as big a fan of Steve Coleman as I am, you will most definitely dig his latest release, Poly Tropos/Of Many Turns, which captures Steve and Five Elements tearing it up at live performances in France earlier this year. Toronto electric bassist Rich Brown contributes an amazing pulse throughout, and Coleman's on fire ...

Spinifex, Angelica Sanchez / Camila Nebbia Duo, & Rob Mazurek

Read "Spinifex, Angelica Sanchez / Camila Nebbia Duo, & Rob Mazurek" reviewed by Maurice Hogue


The unpredictable but always powerful Dutch sextet, Spinifex, is releasing its latest album in North America, Undrilling The Hole, so it will be interesting to see if the band gains some traction in North America. Hopefully it will; they're a no-prisoners-taken ensemble. Brooklyn's I-Beam was the venue for a most interesting and perhaps inevitable hook-up for ...

Joe Fonda, Jesper Zeuthen, Jose Lencastre & Rodrigo Amado

Read "Joe Fonda, Jesper Zeuthen, Jose Lencastre & Rodrigo Amado" reviewed by Maurice Hogue


Bassist Joe Fonda's new Eyes On The Horizon is a must listen. He turned to musicians he has great familiarity with--pianist Satoko Fujii, trumpeter Wadada Leo Smith and drummer Tiziano Tononi--to create a tribute to Wadada, his former teacher and mentor. This is uncompromising music. There are several new albums by saxophonists in this edition that ...

John Hollenbeck, Michael Attias & Nordic Artists

Read "John Hollenbeck, Michael Attias & Nordic Artists" reviewed by Maurice Hogue


This show has a bit of wanderlust. It starts and closes with music by artists from Scandinavia (an all-star band honouring the music and spirit of Albert Ayler, then at the end a new Norwegian/Swedish quartet called Unionen followed by Nacka Forum celebrating its 25th year and the closer by the Finnish trio Hot Heros). The ...

Jason Robinson, Sanchez / Guy / Lopez, Vehicle / Passenger & Jeff Lederer

Read "Jason Robinson, Sanchez / Guy / Lopez, Vehicle / Passenger & Jeff Lederer" reviewed by Maurice Hogue


Multi-reedist Jason Robinson's second volume of music composed in honor of his ancestors maintains the same power and emotion as the first and both albums are among the best releases of 2024. Fellow saxophonist Jeff Lederer's new Guilty! has a political slant, and it delivers a message that many of us are waiting to hear, while ...

Darius Jones, Thumbscrew, Oaagaada & Kira Kira

Read "Darius Jones, Thumbscrew, Oaagaada & Kira Kira" reviewed by Maurice Hogue


These two hours are filled with amazing music. Alto saxophonist Darius Jones continues his Man'ish Boy series with his new Legend of E-Boi (The Hypervigilant Eye). I'll be amazed if this doesn't show up on most best-of lists for 2024. It's Darius in his finest form. Thumbscrew's work is impeccable too, and their new Wingbeats continues ...

What's in this episode of One Man's Jazz? Music from new releases by the greats (Wayne Shorter & Miles Davis) by rising stars (saxophonists Isaiah Collier & Anna Webber) by the vets (pianists Tonino Miano & Russ Lossing and Nexus, the long-running band from Italy led by drummer Tiziano Tononi & saxophonist Daniele Cavallanti) and by ...

D. D. Jackson, Asher Gamedze & Caroline Davis

Read "D. D. Jackson, Asher Gamedze & Caroline Davis" reviewed by Maurice Hogue


A big “welcome back" to pianist D.D. Jackson who's not been heard much on recordings for the last several years. He returned to his native Canada to make Poetry Project, inspired by a commission received during the pandemic to compose music for a poem written by former poet laureate George Elliott Clarke. That led to Clarke ...
