This all-star lineup created a rich backdrop for Jacob's compelling vocal interpretations.

If discovery is an element, and most certainly it is if one is an adventurous listener, uncovering new talent motivates your listening habits. With a release like Integration!, the exploration is nearly effortless. For those not yet familiar with the label Jersika Records, the album is a Latvian production under the careful guidance of its chief Mareks Ameriks. For the technical nerds out there, Integration! was captured on analog reel-to-reel tape using a Studer B 67 ¼" two-track tape recorder without editing or overdubbing. The vinyl was cut directly from the original masters on a Neumann VMS70 cutting lathe using a Neumann SX74 cutting head. Translated for the rest of us, the vinyl LP has extraordinarily good sound.

For ezz-thetics' revisited series' fourth Ornette Coleman album, the label has ventured back further than any of its previous Coleman albums, to New York City in December 1960 and January 1961. Recorded at A&R Studios on Wednesday December 21st 1960 from 8pm to 12.30am, the Free Jazz session produced two pieces, the thirty-seven minute "Free Jazz" itself, which was issued in September 1961 on an Atlantic album entitled Free Jazz: A Collective Improvisation By The Ornette Coleman Double Quartet, and the seventeen minute "First Take" which was issued on the Atlantic album Twins in 1971. The latter is not included on this album.

Blues for Vita provides listeners with an outstanding eight-selection presentation that is a modernized throwback to the days when tenor-trumpet quintets such as Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers, Lee Morgan's, and Cannonball Adderley's ensembles were the mainstays of jazz labels such as Riverside, Columbia, and Blue Note. The album offers a well-produced mix of straight-ahead, boogaloo, and Latin-flavors from five terrific Paul Carlon originals, two Broadway musical grabs, and a Larry Willis tune made most famous by Woody Shaw on his Rosewood CD (Columbia, 1978).

If there is a more masterly and majestic way to open a debut album than the running the circularity and capricious muscle of "Who Am I" it has not been often heard. It is that sense of hearing a new maker of myth and beauty with a fine ear and a finer talent reveal itself on Twin City's pianist/composer Kavyesh Kaviraj's beautifully balanced Fables.

Stunning, chilled lyricism and compositional acuity. Reflecting on In these hills, beyond , trumpeter and composer Chad McCullough says “this album is a celebration of life, but it wasn't planned that way. I just wanted to play great music with my friends, as lofty a goal as I have most of the time. However, the recent passing of my grandfather added more weight to everything.” On tour with his quintet last year, McCullough realized midway through the first concert that it was his grandfather’s birthday. “It brought home the importance of being surrounded by good friends and family both to grieve and to celebrate.” In these hills, beyond documents their last two nights at the North Street Cabaret in Madison, Wisconsin, capturing a level of musical communication and camaraderie that only develop through a band playing night after night on the road.
