All lists come to an end at some point (often after ten entries) and this third and final podcast on the New York Times' selections for best jazz albums of 2024 considers the final two entries plus two more 2024 releases which the boys - spoiler alert - like quite as much as the chosen ten.  Hummable melodies and beautiful woodwind playing highlight the also-rans.  Meanwhile, in pop matters Mike's man crush on Sturgill Simpson continues and Pat thinks eighties band The Church is still pretty cool.

    I was doing a lot of work around the house, like painting, back in October and I was growing tired of my usual playlists. So I was happy when I stumbled on some 2023 jazz releases I hadn't heard. That set me off on a jazz binge over the last three months of the year which was so fun because I discovered all sorts of new stuff, enough that I could make a year-end list and mix. I hope to continue diving into new jazz artists and recordings next year. While I love all my old jazz albums from Miles Davis, Herbie Hancock, Chet Baker, Bill Evans, John Coltrane, etc., it was exciting to seek out new stuff the same way I am constantly on the lookout for new music in the ambient sphere or in the indie rock scene. I see so many people get hung up on the latest reissues of a classic jazz recordings that I wonder if they ever take the time to appreciate any of the excellent new music being released. Full list of my favorite Jazz Albums of 2023 in alphabetical order: Ancient Infinity Orchestra - River of Light Anja Lauvdal - Farewell to Faraway Friends (wurlitzer improvisations 2021-23) Arooj Aftab, Vijay lyer, Shahzad Ismaily - Love in Exile Ballake Sissoko & Vincent Segal & Emile Parisien & Vincent Peirani - Les Egares Dave Easley - Ballads Daniel Villarreal - Lados B Dhafer Youssef - Street of Minarets EABS & Jaubiln - Search of a Better Tomorrow Eli Keszler - LIVE Fire!

Today, the Spotlight shines On Danish saxophonist, composer, and best-selling author Benjamin Koppel.Benjamin joined us to discuss his July 2023 release Perspective, the latest work from KCB Collective, a trio that, in addition to Koppel, includes Scott Colley on bass and Brian Blade on drums. It looks great on paper and sounds even better.Benjamin is the grandson of Danish classical composer Herman D. Koppel, while his father, Anders Koppel, is a renowned Hammond organ player and a composer. As you will hear, music, creativity, and the arts are in the Koppel DNA.We recorded this episode at the end of September, and since then, Benjamin has announced another new project, due out November 25. White Buses tells the story of the Red Cross evacuation operation at the end of World War II that rescued over 20,000 prisoners from Nazi concentration camps. The work features a mix of first-person spoken accounts gathered by Koppel himself and brand-new compositions performed by a set of international all-stars. We recorded our talk before this project was formally announced and before the October 7 terrorist attacks in Israel, which added an all-to-unfortunate timely nature to its release.Benjamin and I had a great time connecting, which came on our second attempt after he and I had some time zone snafus. Luckily, we were both able to laugh it off and get cooking.

In the 26th episode of the ECM Podcast we met up with Austrian guitarist/composer Wolfgang Muthspiel to talk about his new trio recording "Dance of the Elders" with Scott Colley on bass and Brian Blade on drums. On the album the group's interplay has grown even more fluid. Wolfgang takes us through the album song by song and talks about the collaborative spirit he shares with his sidemen and about the magic of being able to tell a good story through the sequencing of an album.

durée : 00:55:01 - Chris Potter - par : Alex Dutilh - En février 2022, entouré de Craig Taborn, Scott Colley et Marcus Gilmore, Chris Potter foulait les planches du mythique Village Vanguard de New-York, pour une résidence de plusieurs soirs. “Got the Keys to the Kingdom”, l'enregistrement live de ces folles sessions, paraît chez Édition Records.

Hear unpredictable and graceful melodic lines traded by sax and strings, as tenor sax superstar Joshua Redman and string quartet Brooklyn Rider, along with all-star rhythm section of Scott Colley (bass) and Satoshi Takeishi (percussion) take over the studio. It's chamber music with swoops, dives, groove and bite in original and newly-arranged music with one foot in the jazz world where sharps are optional.

After a two-year slowdown due to COVID, the Montreal International Jazz Festival came back this year. I had been there a couple times, in and out, as a musician. I went this year to cover the festival's full return for WBGO and The Third Story. When you're a musician at a festival like MJF, the job is actually pretty clear. You get to the gig, play the gig, pack up and go to the next gig. But what does a member of the press do in this situation? I was given a credential badge to wear with the word JOURNALISTE written on it and an assignment to “find the story.” Pretty quickly, a narrative started to reveal itself. Or rather, several narratives, all classics. The story of the young versus the old. The story about the past versus the present. And ultimately, the story of today's community of musicians, what's on their mind as they travel this Silk Road of Rhythm which is the summer jazz festival circuit —from Montreal to Marciac, from North Sea to Umbria and beyond. Conversations with Dee Dee Bridgewater, Bill Charlap, Scott Colley, Aaron Goldberg, Samara Joy, Allison Miller, Gregory Porter, and various concert-goers, festival organizers and locals all helped to fill in the story. Self-expression, politics, social media, technology, and conservationism were all part of the fabric, but the common thread between all of them was one of empathy and communion. “This Music,” as so many of the musicians call it, represents human potential. And humans are complicated beings. But at our core, we are social beings and that is reflected in this Montreal Jazz Festival experience. www.third-story.com www.patreon.com/thirdstorypodcast www.wbgo.org/studios
