New Release: The trio of bassist Ben Allison, guitarist Steve Cardenas and saxophonist Ted Nash — collectively known as Allison, Cardenas & Nash — returns with a striking new recording, Triological, out April 10 on Sunnyside Records. Following their previous four albums that focused on music by iconic composers, Triological is the first to feature original music written by Allison, Cardenas and Nash specifically for the album. It features ten compositions, six of which can be heard here for the first time. Recorded over the span of two days by Matt Balitsaris at Maggie’s Farm, and mixed and mastered by Ben, Triological is the group’s most personal album to date.

New Release: It is often the case that the creation of successful art comes down to basic factors. For jazz music, talent and creativity are obvious essentials. But what usually drives music further is trust between performers and a sense of spontaneity in performance. Keyboard master Gary Versace aimed to harness all these elements on his new recording, Three Track Mind, a vibrant collection of spontaneous interpretations of classic standards and original compositions featuring bassist François Moutin and drummer Rudy Royston.

Meredith d’Ambrosio’s latest release, Love Was a Dream, is a quietly intimate mini-EP that highlights her gifts as both composer and interpreter. Written and composed by d’Ambrosio herself, and accompanied by her own piano, it offers a deeply personal glimpse into her artistry, with the voice and instrument working in close, elegant conversation.

With Blues in Blueprint, bassist and composer Clovis Nicolas releases his fifth album for Sunnyside Records and takes on a singular artistic challenge: to perform an entire program of blues—or blues-related—music, exploring the many ways this foundational form continues to shape jazz. Deeply embedded in the music’s DNA, the blues here is not treated as a constraint, but as a point of departure.

Ft. Larry Goldings & Carl Allen

New Release: It seems there are often two sides that must be acknowledged when considering an idea, concept or object. It could be as simple as candy being both spicy and sweet or something philosophically deeper, like seeing a destructive fire allowing for renewal. Woodwind specialist and composer John Ellis lives a musical life frequently dealing in dualities. On his new recording, Fireball, Ellis presents a new collection of music with his beloved Double Wide band that inspires dancing as much as analysis.
