This edition has a bit of everything, but the emphasis is definitely on improvisation on new recordings by Bernardo Tinoco & Tom Maciel, Rodrigo Amado’s The Attic, Pedros Alves Sousa and friends, Joao Lencastre’s first quartet, Nichunimu from Chile, Josh Sinton’s Predicate Quartet, albums from the Gauci Live at Scholes Street Studio improv series, and the in-your-face quartet led by Gebhard Ullmann and Steve Swell. Plus — and is there always a plus – new piano trio releases by Frank Carlberg interpreting Thelonious Monk’s 1952 “Reflections” and Matthieu Mazué from France.
