This one’s for Jack.

Jack DeJohnette. Passed now, but never surpassed. One of the most respected musicians...ever. One of the best drummers...ever. Loved by so many. He made this world a better place.

Thank you Jack. You made me a better listener.

Maybe you have a mental list of your favourite live performances. I do, and every Jack DeJohnette gig I saw is on that list. I thought I’d check my music database to see how many recordings I have that are graced by his presence. There were too many. I gave up.

So here’s some music featuring Jack DeJohnette, plus music from a few other recordings. Ready for you at

Someone once said if you take care of someone with dementia you lose them more and more everyday. When they get the diagnosis, when they go through different stages, when they need treatment and when they pass away. This is called "ambiguous loss".
As the brain slowly dies, they change physically and eventually forget who their loved ones are. They could end up lying in bed, not moving and not eating or drinking.
There will be people who will scroll past this post because Dementia has not touched them. They may not know what it's like to have a loved one who has battled or is still battling dementia.
To raise awareness of this cruel disease, I would like my friends to put this on their page today.
Hold your finger on the post to copy and paste to your timeline.
A special, personal, thank you to anyone willing to put this on their timeline for Dementia Awareness Week! 💜💜💜

The devastating news of the passing of Jack DeJohnette, one of my all-time favourite musicians, made me think of rushing to do a special show this week, but I want to give it the kind of attention and respect such a show deserves, so look for that next week.

For this week, some great musical treats from fireball trumpeter Peter Evans and his Being & Becoming Quartet, the Pocket Quartet which is influenced by the hard-boiled fiction and movies of the ‘50s and ‘60s, Poland’s fiery pianist Joanna Duda, California’s Nathan Clevenger with an intriguing ensemble on “Astrolabe”, and preview tracks from upcoming releases by soprano saxophonist Jane Ira Bloom collaborating with percussion master Brian Shankar Adler, bassist Shawn Lovato, pianist Mara Rosenboom’s Flyways, and bassist Mali Obomsawin. Her tune is a special one-off live recorded track to preview not only a new recording in March but also a new band.

So it happens to be my birthday today, and I could have played a whole show of favourite tunes from past eons, but NO, THERE ARE TOO MANY AMAZING ALBUMS THESE DAYS!
Like Australian saxophonist Sam Gill’s “Sensemaker” with his Coursed Waters quartet or Italian bass clarinetist Federico Calcagno & The Dolphians’ “Face The Music”. Both of these recordings are showcases for original forward-thinking brilliantly played music. Or the prolific Ivo Perelman’s seeming quest to record with everyone – this time it’s trombonist Ray Anderson. Or the unique music of the Dutch ensemble, Spinifex. Or the no longer unknown quartet from Germany - Schlapitzki; they take no prisoners. It’s a glorious time for creative music, and it’s great to be still having birthdays while it’s happening!

The spotlight’s on saxophonist Mark Turner’s new “Reflections on: The Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man”, inspired by the book written by James Weldon Johnson. A central figure of the Harlem Renaissance and the civil rights movement, Johnson wrote about a bi-racial man passing as white. Turner related to this as he has family members who could pass. The author's words enhance some excellent music. Other debuts come from the all-female Polish Quartet O.N.E., saxophonist Ivo Perelman & trumpeter Nate Wooley’s fourth in their “Polarity” series, Italian trumpeter Tomasso Iacoviello considering birds, Swedish guitarist John Lindstrom, vocalist Laura Ann Singh, the late trumpeter Herb Robertson in one of his final albums from a tour with the German trio of Christopher Dell, Christian Ramond & Klaus Kugel, and preview of an upcoming album by Japanese?New York pianist Shoko Nagai. The closer is a tribute to poet Thomas Sayers Ellis who with James Brandon Lewis founded Heroes Are Gang Leaders.

An episode filled with some wonderful new releases, like a hot steaming bowl of African Peanut Soup! So good, so filling. Trio of Bloom (Nels Cline, Craig Taborn & Marcus Gilmore) rip it up on their new one: “Bremen 1965 - Thelonious Monk never heard before; a preview of Dutch powerhouse band Spinifex’ upcoming release; bassist Thomas Morgan doing eye-opening things with his digital “Woods” instrument; piano trios from Italy’s Esmerelda Sella & the Brookly NY th*****me, Prawntail; Tomasz Stanko with the Scandinavian Art Ensemble; the sinister-sounding quartet, Wrens; and celebrating 35 years as a successful, hard-working and feel-good ensemble, the Revolutionary Snake Ensemble. And that’s just the debuts – the rest of this musical tureen is just as tasty. Enjoy!

I confess to being a bit of a wuss when it comes to bridges and heights. Perhaps that’s because one of my idiot uncles thought it would be great fun to dangle me over the edge of the footbridge at Assiniboine Park in Winnipeg when I was four or five years old. One bridge I do like though is The Bridge, a powerhouse of the avant garde led by saxophonist Rodrigo Amado. Along with pianist Alexander Von Schlippenbach, bassist Ingebrigt Haker Flaten and drummer Gerry Hemingway, Amado and his mates present a masterclass on the art of free improvisation on their new “Further Beyond”.

There are several other excellent new releases to sink one’s teeth into in this episode of OMJ, including maqam master trumpeter Amir ElSaffar & his New Quartet, Argentinean saxophonist Matias Formica, the sizzling Swiss trio of guitarist Dave Gisler, the Agnas Bros. of Sweden & their brotherly love/hate album, saxophonist Isaiah Collier dueling in a free live session in London with drummer Tim Regis, another sample of vibist Patricia Brennan’s next album, and the Otherlands Trio, a new band formed by two members of the acclaimed Brotherlands Trio, bassist Stephan Crump and drummer Eric McPherson. They were unsure of the future for Brotherlands, but wanted to continue so enter saxophonist Darius Jones and Otherlands was born. It’s otherworldly! Some great music in this show. Pass it on! It’s grumpy-free.

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

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.

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’!
