The focus among the new releases debuting in this episode is upon groups, like The Klezmatics and their all-encompassing mission to bring the world together (guests William Parker & James Brandon Lewis are on board); the Chicago-Amsterdam quartet These Things Happen; the eclectic NL Switch Orchestra from Amsterdam; Daniel Carter/Sabir Mateen/William Parker/Lou Grassi; bassist Hannah Marks’ quartet; the trio of American saxophonist Michael Foster with the Swiss/German rhythm section of Christian Weber & Michael Griener; the Iberian trio of pianist Clara Lai, saxophonist Jose Lencastre & electronicist Alex Reveriego; drummer Bobby Previte’s first full band in years; and from England, the Fairfield Ethio-Jazz Project. And let’s not forget pianist Alister Spence’s solo effort “Always Ever” amidst many more great bands/tracks.
