The Daydream Library Series record label has released “The Diver,” Thurston Moore’s last song for the summer before upcoming album Flow Critical Lucidity, out on September 20. Moore describes the captivating yet tragic track, featuring lyrics by Radieux Radio, bass player Deb Googe (My Bloody Valentine) and percussionist Jem Doulton (Roisin Murphy): “The Diver’ ends the album with the actual story of a diver lost underwater in Lake Geneva while these songs were being written. The diver was exploring the deep, researching a world at mercy to human disruption, only to be found days later, his life having succumbed to the wild. The song concludes the album, a repetitive piano figure like a call, a ringing, an alarm of melody.”

Saxophone players are key figures in many music genres, including jazz, classical, rock, and pop. Their ability to produce a wide range of tones and expressiveness makes the saxophone a versatile and emotive instrument. Saxophonists contribute to the melodic and harmonic fabric of their music, often driving solos and adding depth to ensemble performances. Their styles can vary from smooth and lyrical to energetic and avant-garde, reflecting the instrument’s adaptability across different musical contexts. Whether performing in a big band, a solo setting, or a small jazz group, saxophone players bring unique qualities and dynamic energy to their performances.

On this day, August 26th, we gather our thoughts and pay tribute to Branford Marsalis, a master of sonic alchemy, whose notes whisper like wind through the reeds of the saxophone. His playing is a flight of shadows and light, twisting through the mind like the architecture of dreams. Branford's style moves with fluid grace, a river of jazz and soul, interwoven with the ghostly echoes of those who came before. From his earliest moments, Branford's hands were cradled by music, the notes pulsing through his veins as if written in the very marrow of his bones. The Marsalis family name itself hums with the rhythm of jazz history—an inheritance of sound, passed down through generations, with Branford standing as one of its brightest beacons.

No two Grateful Dead concerts are ever alike, but the point where they fully diverge from reality as we know it is often the same. Five songs into the second set, the band sets their instruments down and all non-rhythm section members — in its current iteration as Dead & Company, that includes longtime frontman and rhythm guitarist Bob Weir, lead guitarist and vocalist John Mayer, and keyboard wizard Jeff Chimenti — exit the stage. Electronic music loops begin to play as the band’s two drummers and bassist, collectively known as the Rhythm Devils, engage in an improvisational ritual featuring...

With his upcoming album Shooting Star, Benjamin Tod set out to prove to himself—and to the industry—that he could write an elite Country record with ease. The project spilled out seamlessly in just two weeks from his pen to paper, song, and record. A calculated concoction venturing away from his years of Lost Dog Street Band stylings, Shooting Star is a love letter to musical decades past, touching on sonic textures from the mid-50s to the early 90s. “The original idea for this album was for each song to be placed in a different production period in country music history,” says Tod. “Obviously, there’s no way to cover everything so my preference shines through.”

It is hard to imagine someone more qualified to discuss jazz trumpeter and superstar Dominick Farinacci than Al Sikes. What started as a serendipitous encounter in the stratified world of New York jazz clubs, the former FCC chair and the then emerging trumpet soloist would grow into a decade-long friendship and collaboration. From hosting Dominick at the Sikes-founded Monty Alexander Jazz Festival to becoming a producer of Farinacci’s critically acclaimed “Modern Warrior LIVE” musical, the Sikes and the Farinaccis have forged a special relationship.
