Bassist/Composer/Educator HANNAH MARKS Presents FEED THE FIRE

Produced by Jason Moran & Featuring Hannah Marks (bass, compositions), Nathan Reising (alto saxophone), Lex Korten (piano) & Steven Crammer (drums)

Released today, June 12, 2026 on Endectomorph Music

Feed The Fire Tour Starts Tonight!

" . . . there remains something quintessentially New York about Marks’ second outing, Feed the Fire. The liveliness of walking into a late-night club is captured well on the record. The quartet – with saxophonist Nathan Reising, pianist Lex Korten, and drummer Steven Crammer- scorches through a collection of original pieces and standards. Odd meters and hard swing capture a sonic vibrancy seldom heard outside the Big Apple. With much of her professional career built out of the Jazz Gallery – partly crafted by a Texan turned New Yorker – perhaps this reflection of New York is unavoidable. The equally pointedly staccato and smoothly swaying opener 'Aggro,' dedicated to 'the House that Roy built,' certainly suggests as much . . . In all, Feed the Fire is a work that shows more than its respect for tradition. It burns new paths for the flames to continue to grow in luminescence."- Rob Shepherd, Post Genre

"The bassist has a way of giving riff tunes an extra bounce, an animation that might usually come from a drummer. Whether it’s a Geri Allen nugget or one of her own pieces, such as ‘Room 157,’ the buoyancy she brings to the table helps fashion her still-evolving artistic persona. With the acoustic quartet record Feed The Fire (Endectomorph) arriving in early June, Marks is helping deliver updates to the mainstream jazz lingo. Live renditions of her own ‘Aggro’ and Dewey Redman’s ‘Mushi Mushi’ suggest that feistiness is zero problem, and with Jason Moran in the producer’s seat, her sophomore disc is surely one to anticipate." - Jim Macnie, Lament For A Straight Line - Must See Three https://conta.cc/4olI8PS

Award-Winning Indo-Canadian Drummer/Percussionist/Composer Agneya Drops First Single From His Debut Album - AGNEYA

First single, “Teleology” Out Today, June 12, 2026!!!

Agneya, born and raised in Western India, and now based in both Toronto and Berlin, has been working for almost fifteen years as a freelance drummer and percussionist in many worlds of music, from Indian folk and commercial music, contemporary jazz, Arabic music, Zimbabwean music, Nigerian soul, rock, and experimental music, amongst others. He has said yes to every opportunity to make music with others, and every one of these experiences quietly and slowly shaped AGNEYA, his debut recording as a leader (releasing on September 18, 2026).

AGNEYA opens with “It Began Before Words,” like a zephyr carrying the ocean that has brushed up against the hulls of myriad ships. “Zwischenspiel I” (German for interlude or intermezzo), displays Agneya’s ability to deliver unique, forceful grooves, along with Canadian bassist Rich Brown’s melodic and rhythmic virtuosity (also check him out on “To Hold On To”). Built from a South Indian Konnakol (vocal percussion) phrase, “Teleology” expands outward into a fierce, groove-heavy composition where rhythm constantly shifts perspective. On “Keiko” Agneya joins rhythmic forces with Indian percussionist Varun Venkit, propelling the ensemble into a hip and urbane recreation of this lovely folk melody. Other highlights on this truly global album are, “Khoj”, featuring the compelling, riveting trumpeter Ingrid Jensen. Her brilliant solo, underpinned by the masterful accompaniment of Agneya is a highpoint of the album; a rearrangement of “Fix You” (the Coldplay hit) features the evocative, poignant vocals of German-Ghanaian vocalist Emily Intsiful, and offers up an uber-creative sing-a-long which will conjure up all sorts of memories and emotions (if you let it); and “Naima”, John Coltrane’s 1960 classic reimagined over the West African folk groove, Ketju, featuring the soaring alto saxophone of Parisian Yonatan Hes, and the brilliance of pianist Jakob Reisener. To sum it all up, this is wide-ranging music made by artists who love and respect each other, and this shines through every note. https://conta.cc/4eExale

Drummer/Composer Matt Slocum Presents: A Revolving Alliance, Featuring Rising Star Emmanuel Michael (guitar)
& The Legendary Larry Grenadier (bass), Recorded & Mixed by James Farber, Mastering & Cutting by Bernie Grundman

Available Worldwide – June 19, 2026 on Sunnyside Records

" . . . Larry Grenadier — fourth appearance on a Slocum date, the man whose 25-year Mehldau tenure is reason enough to clear the diary — anchors the centre. Emmanuel Michael, the youngest voice and already a fixture in Ambrose Akinmusire’s circle, occupies the left channel with startling clarity and a harmonic vocabulary that nods to Lage Lund without parroting him. Slocum takes the right channel and takes up less space than you’d expect. Six of seven cuts are first takes — and you can hear it. The title track, built from a winding bass line in mixed meters rather than a melody, lets Grenadier do the cartography. 'Yerazel' (Armenian for 'to dream') is the quiet heart of the record. Closer 'A Dissolving Alliance' — a title first used on Sanctuary, now recast for darker times — takes everything apart . . . Slocum is not the obvious jazz drummer of his generation — not flashy, no long solos, does not 'stand out' in the conventional sense. What he does instead is write music that lets extraordinary musicians sound even more extraordinary, and assembles the technical chain — Sabbagh, Farber, Grundman, Gotta Groove — that captures it with rare fidelity. A composer’s record, played by three of the most attentive listeners in modern jazz, captured with the kind of care that was once the rule rather than the exception . . . Essential. A modern reference pressing." – Steve Williams, UKVibe

As a follow-up to his critically-acclaimed recording, Lion Dance, Slocum presents a new, telepathic trio on A Revolving Alliance. Featuring legendary bassist Larry Grenadier and rising star guitarist Emmanuel Michael, the multigenerational ensemble explores a distinctive set of original music with empathy and verve. https://conta.cc/4v4ifqi

Composer/Arranger Zhengtao Pan Releases New album, Day By Day: Available TODAY on Outside In Music

Featuring Pan’s 17-Piece Ensemble with Special Guests Rufus Reid, Steve Wilson, Sara Gazarek, Alan Ferber & Itai Kriss

"Zhengtao Pan doesn’t fit neatly into the category of 'emerging.' Born in 2003
in Shanghai, China, he’s already operating with the scope and confidence of a
seasoned architect—building music that’s designed not just to impress, but to
hold weight . . . Pan has quickly become a name that turns heads in both big band and orchestral circles, wowing audiences as a
composer, arranger, and orchestrator with a rare command of scale . . . With Day By Day, Zhengtao Pan offers more than a showcase of compositional firepower. He offers a worldview—one where discipline becomes devotion, collaboration becomes magic, and the quiet work of returning to the craft, day after day, becomes a path toward peace." – Johnathan Blackman, Occhi Magazine https://conta.cc/4vBZRVT

"Hannah Marks is stepping into a bigger, bolder version of herself, and doing it with the kind of conviction that makes you lean in. With her sophomore album Feed The Fire, the New York City-based bassist and composer delivers a statement of intent: fearless, exploratory, and alive with the restless energy of a musician who isn’t interested in staying inside the lines." - Jonathan Blackman, Occhi Magazine

Hannah Marks makes a monumental creative step with her sophomore album, Feed The Fire, featuring her fierce, risk-taking acoustic jazz quartet of Nathan Reising (alto saxophone), Lex Korten (piano) & Steven Crammer (drums), delightfully blending modern, straight-ahead, and avant-garde. The album, produced by Jason Moran, celebrates her burning passion for jazz in its various forms, her staking a claim as a NYC bassist and composer, relishing the musical journey she is on, and sharing with her bandmates and her audience the freedom to explore, play and experiment! https://conta.cc/4voNSKX

Trombonist/Composer JOE FIEDLER Presents
JOURNEY TO BOWERBIRD, The Fourth Album From His Critically-Acclaimed Group – Big Sackbut

Featuring Joe Fiedler, Ryan Keberle, Luis Bonilla (trombones), Marcus Rojas (tuba) and Satoshi Takeishi (drums)

Available now on Multiphonics Music" . . . the trombone squad (with newly added percussionist, Stomu Takeishi) is waxing even more adventurous than previously, and that’s saying a lot. Fiedler’s compositions for this, their fourth outing, are a tad more rigorous, a smidge more daring, and a touch more detailed than their predecessors . . . Trombonists Ryan Keberle, Luis Bonilla, and Fiedler sail around the muscular tuba lines of Marcus Rojas, and time after time their collaborative exchanges twist your head in a few different ways , , , this music breathes, and breathes and breathes. Their frenzied moments always always arrive with a dash of ease in them."- Jim Macnie, Lament For A Straight Line (Must See 3)

"'Road to Bowerbird' is Joe Fiedler and Big Sackbut at his/their best. With the members of the band in high demand, live gigs will be at a premium. But, if you see a poster with a time, a date, and a place, get in line. In the meantime, play the album loud and often!" - Richard Kamins, Step Tempest Steps Out

"Trombonist and composer Joe Fiedler has spent much of the last two decades proving that low brass can be every bit as agile, expressive and adventurous as any front-line jazz ensemble. With Journey To Bowerbird, the fourth release by his group Big Sackbut, he pushes that idea even further, delivering a record packed with intricate writing, muscular ensemble playing and flashes of brasstastic invention." - Mike Gates, UKVibe

" . . . a thoroughly enjoyable outing. Strong and focused solo work by all hands is the icing on the cake. Definitely recommended."

Cellist/Composer Jody Redhage Ferber Presents: AIR SONGS

Her first recording as a leader in more than a decade, and a celebration and musical depiction of the stunning superpowers and characteristics of our fine feathered friends!

Featuring Redhage Ferber on cello, Camila Meza on guitar/vocals, Sara Caswell on violin and Rogerio Boccato on percussion

Available NOW on Scarlet Tree Records

"Now, the cellist and composer is stepping forward with her first album as a leader in more than a decade. Air Songs is both a return and a new chapter — a project that feels intentionally curated, intimate in its instrumentation, and expansive in its emotional reach. The album features Camila Meza on guitar and vocals, Sara Caswell on violin, and Rogerio Boccato on percussion.
Redhage Ferber recently shared that she went through a phase of intense listening to recordings featuring her collaborators — a deep-dive that shaped the spirit of the record. On Air Songs, she explores a distinctive sonic niche, pairing the electric edge of Meza’s guitar with the acoustic warmth and texture of Caswell’s violin and hardanger fiddle, alongside Redhage Ferber’s own cello. Anchoring and colouring the sound is Boccato’s earthy, imaginative percussion set-up, with the percussionist contributing to three tracks.
The result is music that feels alive — crafted with precision, yet open enough to let the air in. In Redhage Ferber’s hands, listening becomes more than a passive act; it becomes a practice, a presence, and a way back into connection." - David Emmanuel Noel, Occhi Magazine https://conta.cc/3PMeR3V
