Is there an ideal time to catch a band on tour? At the start, when the musicians are fresh and there is the excitement of material still being shaped, or at the end when there may be bags under the eyes, but where the interplay is more finely honed? Swings and roundabouts. After two weeks touring England, guitarist Phil Robson, organist Ross Stanley and drummer Gene Calderazzo crossed the Irish Sea for four dates on either side of the border. It marked a quick return to the Emerald Isle, following the trio's appearance at Bray Jazz Festival in May. If the musicians were tired, they did not show it. These are seasoned road dogs, after all.

JAS has been sponsoring two festivals (or "Experiences") each of the last several years. The June festival has been more jazz and jazz-adjacent and the Labor Day Festival (although still promoted under the "Jazz Aspen Snowmass" moniker) tends more toward pop and even some country.

The shrinkwrap comes off several new albums sampled in this show, and there's a decided tilt to Europe. One of the stalwarts of the European avant-garde, Rudi Mahall, offers The Straight Horn Of Rudi Mahall, his first album playing only clarinet. Another reed player from Germany, Fabian Dudek doesn't hold anything back on his intriguing Distant Skies We Dream, while bassist Jasper Hoiby continues with his impressive trio, 3Elements. From Portugal comes a somewhat unusual pairing—saxophone and vibes—on Trafiklys by João Gato and Duarte Ventura. Cradled Cravings is a hard-nosed debut from a typical European quintet these days—The Gatherers with musicians from different countries and led by Slovenian saxophonist Luka Zabric. Over on this side of the Atlantic, new releases continue to drop; this time from Tarbaby (Orrin Evans, Eric Revis & Nasheet Waits), Dave Douglas' Gifts and underground avant-garde pianist John Blum.
