Roy Hargrove was the most influential post-Miles Davis trumpeter and one of the most important mentors to many of today’s contemporary jazz artists. Hargrove left us way too soon at the age of 49, yet he was massively prolific, which is why archivists are doing everything possible to unearth his unheard recordings. The album is being strategically released two days after Hargrove’s would-be 55 th birthday.

Folk and blues legend Eric Bibb has racked up numerous BMA Awards and Grammy nominations over five decades and now 33 albums. His input is consistently strong, yet In The Real World stands with his best because it’s one of the few with all original material, and it has perhaps the most pristine production of any of his studio work. The latter partly owes to recording at Peter Gabriel’s Real World Studios in England. Hence, the title has a double meaning as Bibb customarily shares his views on the current world.

It seems like we were just getting to know the young spiritual jazz force Isaiah Collier & The Chosen Few, who are calling it quits after an eight-year run and three albums. Their awareness level has never been higher, as evidenced by a full-length piece in The New York Times earlier this month. Yet saxophonist Collier, a prodigy, has had this band since he was in high school and, like so many restless jazz artists, has plans to move in other directions.

Beth Lee has one of those voices that one never tires of, a mix of charm, sensuality, and defiance, belting out her original hook-laden songs. You’ve likely heard her before as the lead singer of The Breakups or through her solo work beginning with 2008’s Cassette Tapes & Cash Money to the predecessor for this effort, 2021’s critically acclaimed Waiting on You Tonight. Lee leverages the success of that one by again turning to longtime Chuck Prophet drummer and multi-instrumentalist Vincente Rodriguez to produce and enlisting guitarist James DePrato for this mostly breezy rocker, Hardly Matters. The three cut ten of these eleven tracks as a threesome, with her road band instead on “Wall.”

You’ve seen many collaborations between bassist Scott Colley and drummer Brian Blade on these pages, typically backing Danish saxophonist Benjamin Koppel. The two have long collaborated with pianist Edward Simon, going back to groups involving saxophonist David Binney and guitarist Adam Rogers three decades ago. Recently, this trio appeared to wide acclaim along with a string octet at the Detroit Jazz Festival, where Blade was the artist-in-residence.

When the legendary pianist and composer NEA Jazz Master Andrew Hill’s live A Beautiful Day was issued in 2002, he had long left Blue Note in 1969. The intervening years were sketchy, with releases on European labels and long hiatuses to care for his ailing wife on the West Coast. In the late ‘90s, Hill returned to New York to record Dusk (200O) and the subject at hand for Palmetto Records. A Beautiful Day, recorded five years before Hill’s passing in 2007, is often called Hill’s big band record, but it sounds like no big band recording you’ve heard.

The semi-annual Exit Zero Jazz Festival held October 25-27, 2024, in the nation’s oldest ocean resort, Cape May, NJ, featured the usual loyal, enthusiastic jazz audiences and its famed eclectic lineup. The mild temperatures made it conducive to taking in acts at the nearby clubs overflowing the entire weekend. Nonetheless, with the main activities centered around Convention Hall, fans had opportunities to walk the beach and enjoy the balmy mid-60s temperatures. Yes, shorts, tee shirts, and beach umbrellas were seen on the last weekend in October. We attended from Friday through Sunday, shared meals with friends, met many jazz lovers and a few artists, and witnessed acts in Convention Hall and nearby Carney’s.
