One Man's Jazz

O N E M A N ‘ S J A Z Z
for September 11, 2025

I guess because there was no One Man’s Jazz program last week, the hard-working crew better put together a stunner of a show this week, and indeed that’s exactly what will confront you when you head to
http://www.onemansjazz.ca/september-11-2025-1427/
or to https://www.mixcloud.com/onemansjazz/one-mans-jazz-ep-1427-sylvie-courvoisier-wadada-leo-smith-leandro-cardenas-led-bib/

for some very memorable music.

There are masters at work right from the jump with Joachim Kuhn and Daniel Humair playing with saxophonist Maxime Bender to the closing tune from Wadada Leo Smith and Sylvie Courvoisier’s new and brilliant “Angel Falls” duo release. In between there’s music of all kinds and sizes: England’s rambunctious Led Bib, pianist Russ Lossing with a new trio, bassist Zack Lober with his second No Fill3r album, pianist Anat Fort exploring the genius of Paul Motian,
the quirky and unpredictable I Hold the Lion's Paw from Australia, and something you don’t hear too often – the avant garde from Havana Cuba in the form of bass clarinetist Leandro Cardenas’ quintet.

You MUST listen to this one!

This show is loaded with some amazing new music. Fieldwork (Lehman/Iyer/Sorey) drops “Thereupon” their first album in 17 years. Seventeen, and it’s brilliant. There’s some great piano albums from Switzerland’s Matthieu Mazué with alto saxophonist Michael Attias, Santiago Leibson reflecting on the 70's importance to jazz, and Poland’s Aga Derlak & Neurodivergent’s magic touch. The Anna Webber/Angela Morris Big Band is in its usual challenging form on its second release as is English drummer Tom Skinner on “Kaleidoscope Visions”, his second recording. For real grit check out the first time meeting of three of free jazz’ true heavyweights - Frode Gjerstad, Alexander Von Schlippenbach & Dag Magnus Narvesen or the curiously named German quartet The Return Of Knut Thompson. Finally, a four generational tribute to Chicago’s creative nexus led by bassist Emma Dayhuff. Definitely check this one out!

Crazy, huh? It was August 2018 when I started making this show, One Man’s Jazz, available on mixcloud.com. At this point in time, there are 365 shows sitting there, with #366 added tonight.
Whenever someone logs in at mixcloud, allaboutjazz.com or the show website to listen, they end up at mixcloud so it’s easy to see the number of listeners and where they come from. (You’d be amazed at some of the locations.) I have to say thanks to all who take the time and interest. Out of those 365 shows, though, only 6 have ever registered over 100 listeners with one of those six registering over 250. That always puts me at a crossroads of sorts – love the listeners but wish there were more and how can I reach them, because I think I play some pretty damn good music on One Man’s Jazz. If you have an idea or two, let me know. Thanks.

Enough kvetching! There is some fine music in this show – the fiery life and musical partners, Satoko Fujii and Natsuki Tamura have a new one out and it’s all ballads(!!!!). Saxophonists Sam Weinberg from NY and Beth Schenk from San Francisco, pianist Pandelis Karayorgis going microtonal on his, Earscratcher from Chicago, Danes Daniel Sommer & Thommy Andersson hooked up with Helsinki’s Artturi Ronka on a sweet piano trio session, and poet Lisa Marie Simmons back telling it like it is on her third volume of “Notespeak”. Plus a 2025 version of “Tears For Johannesburg” from “We Insist!, à la Terri Lynne Carrington & Christie Dashiell. Good listenin’!

Three new albums from Scandinavia bear serious listening: Swedish saxophonist Martin Kuchen always tells it like it is, and this time he does with Angles 11, a new group, and stunning album called “Tell Them It’s The Sound Of Freedom “. The music school in Trondheim, Norway continues to be an incubator for interesting bands, and the young but risk-taking Lightning Trio is another product of that Conservatory. Danish saxophonist Cecilie Strange has been making waves for a while now, and her new “Beech” reveals a saxophonist who loves melody, soulfulness with a twist of power. Also new, another brilliant piece of work from Matthew Shipp, Toronto’s Lina Allemano Four, German saxophonist Timo Vollbrecht with a killer quintet, two new albums from Driff Records in Boston, and a peek at the next big release by vibraphonist Patricia Brennan. And of course there’s more great tunes, including remembrances of Sheila Jordan and Joseph Daley who passed this week – the brightest of lights.

In his graphic novel “Emanon”, Wayne Shorter wrote: "The lotus exists only in the swamp, in our world of turmoil, and the blooming flower purifies the water around it”. French pianist Bruno Angelini was so inspired by the quote that he decide to make a recording where he would pay tribute to Shorter, his favourite musician, but also to other kinds of lotus flowers – people trying to make the world a better place, like Nelson Mandela, Jack London, Rosa Parks and others. Angelini asked two saxophonists to join him – Angelika Niescier & Sakina Abdou – and the resulting “Lotus Flowers” is very, very good.

Other new releases sampled come from TiTiTi, a free jazz quartet from Slovenia, Migel Zenon’s first live release with his quartet, two from England’s Discus Records (Paul Dunmall & Hi-Res Heart), Danish saxophonist Amalie Dahl & Dafnie, trumpeter Wojciech Jachna from Poland, and the umpteenth re-release of “Witchdoctor’s Son” by the brilliant bassist Johnny Dyani. Much more music just for you, too. Enjoy!

Sheila Jordan

I have seen and heard Sheila Jordan perform live several times. Those moments are among the best in my personal jazz journey. She’s never failed to touch my heart with her joy and amaze me with her vocal ability, just as she has for many others for so many years.

Now, one of the most important and influential jazz vocalists, needs our help. Sheila is currently in hospice care at home, because she had maxed out her limit of 100 days of care at the Actors Fund Nursing Home. Now she gets only 10 hours a week through Medicare. I repeat, 10!! hours! Thus, since July 7th’, it has fallen on family and friends to pay out of pocket for a private Home Care Aide to come in for a few hours daily. This financial toll and stress has had a devastating effect on Sheila’s family. It’s hard enough to cope just with the emotions of dealing with the decline of a parent’s health. I’ve been there, and so have many others.

So a GoFundMe page has been set up for Sheila Jordan’s care. If you can help with a donation towards her care, you know it will be deeply appreciated.

This is the GoFundMe address:

Dear Friends, Jazz Family & Colleagues, As you may have heard, my mom, NEA Jazzm… Tracey Jordan needs your support for Support Sheila Jordan's Hospice Care

As always, there are new releases to sample and this time out several of those are by saxophonists: the prolific Ivo Perelman with a quintet of frequent playing amigos; John O’Gallagher reuniting with guitarist Ben Monder and featuring the first meeting of two of the great drummers, Billy Hart and Andrew Cyrille; Jon Irabagon in an acoustic setting with some of Chicago’s noted players; Russian emigré now Paris resident Olga Amelchenko; Jaleel Shaw; and Daniel Carter with the wordless vocalizations of Luisa Muhr, bassist Kenneth Jimenez & drummer Alfred Vogel. There’s no reed instrument to be heard on “Dream-Up”, because it’s an all-percussion release by the excellent Tomas Fujiwara, and one of the most interesting you’ll hear this year. Music to be heard, music to be listened to. Enjoy!

Highlights: new music from German drummer Fabian Arends & Fosterchild. I’ve played lots of music with Fabian but this is the first time where he’s leading a band, and “Order At Agan “ is very good. Also from Europe, new music from France at the hands of saxophonist Mathieu Donarier and master clarinetist Louis Sclavis, a debut from Finnish trumpeter Eero Savela, the mighty drummer Jim Black with The Schrimps, and from Italy an album I don’t know what to think: 2 CDs, 64 tracks, only one over 2 minutes long, freely interpreted standards and not so known standards, and very wryly done by vibist Sergio Armaroli, bassist Steve Piccolo and guitarist Elliott Sharp. Lastly, Trio of Bloom with Craig Taborn, Nels Cline & Marcus Gilmore. Is it a play on the infamous - one concert/one album Trio of Doom with Mclaughlin, Pastorius and Williams? Time and your ears will tell. Enjoy!

And why not some drummers getting into the action: England’s Johnny Hunter and Chicago’s Lily Finnegan with her Heat On quartet. As for bassists, one of the greatest, Barry Guy’s “Harmos” returns with the London Jazz Composers Orchestra. Listen and love it.

I really like this 19-track show, so let me beat the drum a bit. There are great drummers everywhere, like Andrew Cyrille with guitarist Karl Evangelista, Joey Baron with Fred Hersch, Rakalam Bob Moses with Brazilian saxophonist Gaia Wilmer, French wizard Sylvain Darrifourcq, Eric McPherson with a new double bass quartet, Dan Weiss, Mike Pride with Jonathan Moritz, Germany’s Oliver Steidle, and percussionist Ian Dogole who’s getting closer to finishing “Last Trane To Africa”). Some standout bassists step up too: Felix Henkelhausen, Italy’s Manolo Cabras, John Hébert & Ben Street on the Eric McPherson album, Danilo Gallo in Gulliver, Drew Gress with Fred Hersch, and Ingebrigt Haker Flaten.

New releases are marked with a smiley-face, and note the Fareed Haque album; it’s a tribute and re-interpretation of guitarist Pat Martino’s treasured “Joyous Lake”. Hope you like this show! Enjoy!
