Double vinyl LP pressing. Few artists exult in the joyous exhilaration and intrepid spirit of communal music-making with the fervor and vitality of visionary bandleader, trumpeter, composer and arranger Steven Bernstein. With a breathtaking pair of intimately interrelated new albums, he applies that bold passion to an uncharacteristically pared-down setting, then transforms those stunning sounds via a startling process of sonic reinvention. 'ResoNation Trio' convenes a new chordless trio with master improvisers Scott Colley on bass and Nasheet Waits on drums. The album's contemplative explorations feel like a departure from the raucous spirit that characterizes so much of the trumpeter's work, yet the trio discovers such an audacious beauty and celebratory gusto in these sparse environments that the music feels uniquely Bernstein's. It is also a rarity in his oeuvre for featuring Bernstein - whose mastery of the little-used slide trumpet has become so central to his sonic identity - exclusively playing valve trumpet and flugelhorn.

Winner of Best Jazz Instrumental Album at the 68th Annual Grammy Awards, Sullivan Fortner's Souther Nights is now available on LP. In July 2023, Fortner returned to the Village Vanguard as a leader. Tasked with forming an all-star trio, Sullivan brought together the iconic bassist Peter Washington, celebrated for his lyrical depth and groove, and drummer Marcus Gilmore, whose innovative rhythms have redefined modern jazz. Despite their first-ever collaboration and limited rehearsal, the trio's chemistry was immediate, resulting in Southern Nights, a raw, unedited live recording that perfectly captures the energy of their Vanguard performances. "Not only would this be the first time Peter and Marcus had ever met, but there was no time to rehearse. [...] With no isolation, no edits, and very few retakes, we managed to record 12 songs in four hours." Featuring one of Fortner's original composition, pieces by Allen Toussaint and Consuela Lee, and a heartfelt tribute to his late mentor, Bill Lee, the album is an acoustic celebration of spontaneity and connection. On Southern Nights, Fortner celebrates the music of New Orleans that he holds so dear and continues to prove why he is one of the most celebrated jazz pianists of his generation, delivering music that is both timeless and deeply personal.

Jazz by Sun Ra was Sun Ra's first properly distributed LP. Although some sources state it was his debut, he had previously recorded and released various other sessions dating back to 1949 on his own Saturn label. The LP featured original compositions by Sun Ra along with one by Arkestral bassist Richard Evans. The single non Arkestral composition was "Possession", by Harry Revel, which had been written for Les Baxter's album Perfume Set to Music. "Possession" was arranged for the Arkestra by the Texan pianist and composer Prince Shell.

Trumpeter and composer Ted Chubb has spent much of his career creating spaces where jazz can be heard up close.

Live at The Statuary captures that atmosphere over four nights with longtime collaborators Bruce Williams, Oscar Perez, Tom DiCarlo, and Jerome Jennings.

A Newly Unearthed and Fully Restored Recording of Thelonious Monk's 1967 Paris Concert - Long Considered One of the Most Elusive Performances of his European TourThis marks the first official release from the Monk Estate.Monk Live in Paris, 1967 Volume One will be Available on 180-Gram Vinyl on April 24, 2026, via the Thelonious Monk Estate's Rhythm-A-Ning EntertainmentCaptured at the Height of Monk's Creative Powers, this Historic Performance Showcases the Pianist and Composer with His Classic Quartet: Charlie Rouse (tenor saxophone), Larry Gales (bass), and Ben Riley (drums)For its first 70 years, the profound art of jazz made originality, singularity and unrestricted vision prime requisites of its expression – not just in musicality, but also in personality, image, style and demeanor. The unparalleled composer/pianist/visionary Thelonious Sphere Monk epitomized every aspect of this in exponential form. As a result, he occupies a unique position in the Jazz Pantheon.Every aspect of this extraordinary man epitomizes jazz expression at its most compelling level. His visual presence – his headwear, his glasses, his sartorial style – matched with his remarkably profound verbal statements, the way he danced around the piano during other musicians' solos; and even more importantly, his brilliant compositions that are both starkly angular, yet gorgeously lyrical, and matched by his piano playing which made dissonance and fractured rhythms so utterly delightful, make Thelonious Monk stand out dynamically even amidst his other transcendent peers.Capitalizing on all of this, the Monk Estate is launching a comprehensive plan to launch a new ongoing series of archival recordings under its authorized control of material that has been circulated for years as bootlegs – and is doing so with clever brand marketing that will further express the legendary presence and spirit of this singular iconoclast.The initial release, Monk Live in Paris, 1967 Volume One, is very special, not only for its merging of these elements, but also because it showcases Monk's longstanding quartet featuring tenor man Charlie Rouse and the bass/drums tandem of Larry Gales and Ben Riley, who are joined by five very special guest horn men. Alto saxophonist Phil Woods, trombonist Jimmy Cleveland, Ray Copeland and tenor titan Johnny Griffin (Rouse's predecessor in the quartet) perform in various permutations – with the full nonet, including trumpet legend Clark Terry, coming together in Volume Two of this wonderful concert recording (to be released October 9, 2026).Volume One includes four Monk classics (an apt description of virtually every one of his compositions) – ''Epistrophy,'' with a scorching, growlingly muscular Griffin solo and a lyrical and adventurous Copeland solo; the deliciously syncopated ''Evidence,'' with sparkling Rouse, another terrific solo by Copeland; and bluesy, wickedly swinging Woods. On both extended pieces, the four horns provide densely harmonic thematic statements and some adventurous riffing that spurs on the soloists for a spontaneous feeling with a jam session atmosphere of jubilant excitement. ''We See,'' again highlights Rouse and Copeland; with the beautiful ''Ruby, My Dear'' just featuring the original quartet completing the package. Of course, Monk brings his totally singular piano stylings to each piece; and Gales and Riley both offer their own outstanding contributions as well.Monk's son, T.S. Monk, says Monk Live in Paris was chosen to showcase the caliber of musicians who traveled with Monk, though not excluding Charlie Rouse, who is most familiar to his public. ''Giants like Rollins and Coltrane, Abdul Malik, Roy Haynes or Art Blakey, Mingus and Max Roach spent much time with Monk, but they didn't travel that much,'' Monk says. ''People are quite aware of his touring and recording quartet, his colleagues as a young man at Minton's Playhouse, like Dizzy, Bird, Charlie Christian, Red Rodney, Kenny Clarke and so on. His touring with larger ensembles especially in Europe, not as much. The Clark Terry's, Phil Woods, Thad Jones', the Jimmy Cleveland's, Johnny Griffin's and others highlight the respect his peers had for him. Men in some cases that often led their own bands. These musicians traveled for the art as much as the money! In some cases, more so! They all loved Monk and their presence is a tribute to his artistry.''''Thelonious Monk never wrote music to fit a system,'' TS Monk says. ''He wrote to expand imagination and move the culture forward. We've spent years navigating piracy, legacy structures, and an industry not always built for artist control. This album release marks a shift - stewarded independently, handled with intention, and delivered directly to listeners. Legacy isn't something you just inherit - it's something you defend and reinvent. This is a milestone not just for our family, but for anyone who believes in art over formula.''The recording is presented as a 180-gram audiophile pressing and was selected by Thelonious Sphere Monk III as the first in a new series of previously unreleased, rare live recordings, mastered by Rudy Van Gelder. The album cover artwork was designed by Japanese graphic designer and artist Gaku Inada.Vinyl: 180 Gram, Blue VinylPackaging: single pocket jacket with a polylined sleeve and insert

Step right up, jazz aficionados, and feast your ears on The Tony Bennett & Bill Evans Album (1975), a jazz gem that's as smooth as a martini and twice as intoxicating! This isn't just any album - it's a legendary collaboration between the velvet-voiced crooner Tony Bennett and the piano wizard Bill Evans, two titans who decided to waltz into a studio and create pure magic. Spoiler alert: they nailed it.This album was a critical darling, earning rave reviews for it's intimate, stripped-down vibe. It charted respectably, but it's real triumph lies in it's enduring legacy - decades later, it's still a go-to for jazz lovers who crave soulful authenticity. Bennett's warm, storytelling vocals paired with Evans' lyrical, impressionistic piano work made this a standout in both their discographies.The PersonnelTony Bennett: The man with a voice like buttered velvet, turning standards into heartfelt confessions.Bill Evans: The piano poet, whose delicate touch and harmonic genius could make a metronome weep.Recorded in a cozy, no-frills session at Fantasy Studios, with just the two of them (and a trusty engineer, Helen Keane, keeping the vibes pristine). No big band, no overdubs-just raw, unfiltered artistry.This album is a masterclass in less-is-more. Recorded live in the studio with minimal takes, it captures the spontaneity of two masters riffing off each other like old friends at a late-night jam. The production is crystal-clear, letting Bennett's nuanced phrasing and Evans' shimmering chords breathe. Evans' harmonic choices-think lush, unexpected chord voicings-add a layer of sophistication, while Bennett's impeccable timing keeps it grounded. The balance between voice and piano is so perfect, you'd think they shared a telepathic link. Plus, the song selection (standards like 'My Foolish Heart' and 'The Touch of Your Lips') is a love letter to the Great American Songbook.Why Jazz Fans Need This in Their CollectionIf your record shelf is craving a dose of elegance, this album is your ticket. It's intimate enough to feel like a private concert but profound enough to reveal new layers with every spin. For fans of vocal jazz, Bennett's delivery is a masterclass in emotion without excess. For piano nerds, Evans' introspective solos are practically a spiritual experience.Grab The Tony Bennett & Bill Evans Album and let these two charmers remind you why jazz is the coolest kid on the musical block.

'Around the World With U' is the sophomore release by Ulysses Owens Jr. Produced by Owens for Cellar Music, 'Around the World With U' finds the Grammy Award-winning drummer, producer, and educator together again with his ensemble Generation Y. Following 2024's A New Beat, Owens and Generation y build, and in many ways move beyond their debut, aiming toward their proverbial North Star: The Jazz Messengers, Art Blakey's prodigious and ever-shifting ensemble who set a high bar in committing more than 100 albums - both live and studio productions - to tape. Although Generation y has only just begun to establish it's recording legacy, A New Beat put both the ambition and potential of Owens' ensemble on full display. And in the short time between their freshman and sophomore recordings, members of Gen y ascended to new levels. Around the World with U features Erena Terakubo on Alto Saxophone, Anthony Hervey on Trumpet and Tyler Bullock on piano (both former Juilliard students of Owens'); Yasushi Nakamura on bass, who was a student with Ulysses at Juilliard within the Inaugural first years of the jazz studies program. Lastly Nanami Haruta on trombone joins the quintet on the tunes "Road Life" and "Little Girl Power" who was a product of the Seiko Jazz Camp which was created by Ulysses Owens Jr., Takeshi Ohbayashi, and Tomoki Sassa in 2016 due to their previous relationships through the band New Century Jazz Quintet. 'Around the World with U' finds Owens' band brimming with confidence earned during long stretches of global touring. There's a new and singular synergy that's evident from the album's first notes. "Gen y now has some street credit," Owens says of the band's evident assuredness. Owens says the band was motivated to push their music forward, after two years in which the group released it's debut, toured the globe, and went viral with a cover of Nirvana's alt-rock masterpiece "Heart Shaped Box."

Blessed with a captivating, richly sonorous singing voice, Japan-born, Seattle-based Valerie Joyce recorded two albums for audiophile label Chesky Records in the 2000s. The first of them, 2005's critically acclaimed New York Blue, albums for audiophile label Chesky Records in the 2000s. The first of them, 2005's critically acclaimed New York Blue, featured the young singer supported by a crack Big Apple jazz band: formidable pianist Andy Ezrin, alternating bassists John Hebert and Tim Lefebvre, and drum stalwart Gene Jackson. They are augmented on some tracks by the veteran session musician Lawrence Feldman's smoky saxophone. Joyce's intriguing repertoire blends deft interpretations of well-known evergreens from The Great American Songbook ('Darn That Dream') with jazz standards (Miles Davis' 'Blue In Green'), jazz-tinged R&B ('Fever'), rock (Jimi Hendrix's 'Little Wing'), and pop (The Beatles' 'Golden Slumbers').

From the late 1960s into the mid-1980s a New Orleans-based record label, the Smoky Mary Phonograph Company, released fourteen LPs by some of the city's most revered and respected elder jazz musicians. The labels's owner, trombonist Frank Demond, produced Smoky Mary's sessions and often played on them, including many of the songs anthologized here on Traditional Jazz From New Orleans. A native of Los Angeles, Demond fell love with the Crescent City trad sound after hearing the Preservation Hall Band perform in California. That transformative moment inspired Demond to move to New Orleans, sit in with the band, and eventually join it. Smoky Mary refers to a nineteenth-century train which many musicians rode between gigs in downtown New Orleans, bythe Mississippi River, and. Dome five niles away, in Milneburg on the shore of Lake Pontchartrain. Demond focused on recording such venerable veterans as singing pianist Sweet Emma Barrett, trumpeter Percy Humphrey and his clarinetist brother Willie Humphrey, trumpeter Kid Thomas Valentine, trombonist Jim [Big Jim?] Robinson, and a host of their colleagues.

This San Francisco trio of the mid-1950s has a sparkling personality all its own, with a refreshing lack of pretentiousness. Vince Guaraldi and Eddie Duran had been longtime associates in the local music scene and their rapport is self-evident, while bassist Dean Reilly fit right in. With an ebullient swing on the up-tempos, and a subtle, unhackneyed approach to ballads such as 'Sweet and Lovely' and jazz standards such as John Lewis' 'Django,' this 1956 LP marks Guaraldi's triumphant first complete album as a leader. With Eddie Duran and Dean Reilly.
