Legends open and close this edition of One Man’s Jazz. Pianist Joachim Kuhn and drummer Daniel Humair are front and centre of a fine quartet led by Luxembourg saxophonist Maxime Bender‘s opening track, and the closing track features master trumpeter Wadada Leo Smith in a duet with pianist Sylvie Courvoisier, herself on the path to legendary status. It’s from “Angel Falls” a sparkling new release on Intakt Records. Between those, there’s some great new music from England’s Led Bib, pianist Russ Lossing with a new trio, Montreal now Netherlands bassist Zack Lober, pianist Anat Fort in a Paul Motian mood, the Aussie band I Hold The Lion’s Paw, New Order led by bassist Joe Fonda, and an avant garde quintet from Havana Cuba led by bass clarinetist Leandro Cardenas.
