All kinds of new albums to preview this week: saxophonist Caleb Wheeler Curtis, the Austrian quintet Memplex, French bassist Hubert Dupont & a new trio called Sirocco, a bristling take on Ornette Coleman’s “Lonely Woman” by New Zealand’s Trioglodytes, Brisbane’s Impulse Orchestra, Venezuelan guitarist Juanma Trujillo, and four musicians from Finland who figured it out as they went along. Plenty more great music, too. Enjoy!
