As a member of Genesis and as a solo artist, Peter Gabriel has performed on 16 studio albums. Collectively, those albums have produced some of the most beloved music of the rock era. Yet some of Gabriel’s best work has been produced outside of that esteemed collection of studio work. As a solo artist, he has recorded four soundtrack albums, stand-alone tracks for soundtrack compilations, five live albums, and countless collaborations with other artists.

Stylistically hard-to-describe artists are nothing new. However, with Ben Monder's solo excursions, one often feels the need to issue a warning/disclaimer that might read something like, "Caution—Exiting Known Musical Universe." The 24-minute title track from his album Hydra (Sunnyside, 2013) indeed melds techniques and generic signposts from jazz, rock, medieval and modern classical music, but it may be the harmonic space that dominates Monder's vision that is most remarkable—a mysterious zone the eschews nearly all familiar harmony without wallowing in outright dissonance. Not all ears take to it but those with a taste for the exploratory may just plant their flags on Monder's planet.

In the early 1990s, still a teenager, US-born Madeleine Peyroux was a member of the Paris-based buskers The Lost Wandering Blues And Jazz Band led by the singer and raconteur Danny Fitzgerald. Peyroux cut her professional teeth travelling around Europe with the band, singing and playing guitar on an eclectic range of material containing a large proportion of vintage jazz and blues. The variety of songs on Peyroux's first album, Dreamland (Atlantic, 1996), reflected those formative street-performer years, ranging from the Patsy Cline hit "Walking After Midnight" through Edith Piaf's "La Vie En Rose" and on to Bessie Smith's "Restless Blues." Reviews were mostly positive, and the album sold well enough, but Peyroux backed out of sight for around eight years. Returning, she found major-league success with her similarly programmed second album, Careless Love (Rounder, 2004), a melodically and rhythmically irresistible mix of vintage jazz and blues, chanson and songs by Leonard Cohen, Bob Dylan and Hank Williams.

With an assassination attempt on Donald Trump at a rally in Pennsylvania on July 13, 2024, the U.S. experienced another violent episode in its increasingly polarized politics. Former President Trump, who’s about to formally become the GOP nominee for president in the 2024 election, survived the attempted assassination when, initial reports said, a bullet grazed his ear . But one rally attendee was killed , more spectators were injured and the suspected gunman is also dead. The Conversation’s politics editor, Naomi Schalit, spoke with University of Massachusetts, Lowell, scholar Arie Perliger after the event. Perliger offered insight from his study of political violence and assassinations. Given the stark political polarization in the U.S., Perliger said, “it’s not a surprise that eventually people engage in violence.”

One hopes there will soon come a time in which the memories of the Covid crisis will fade conclusively, but until then its legacy seems likely to linger. As further evidence we have the ensemble Pandemic Solution, a trio originally assembled by pianist Norvald Dahl during the early stages of the pandemic in 2020. Although one might wish for an alternative name for the group—and the same goes for the inscrutable title of the release, Afterdog—there is no disputing the quality of the music on hand. Accessing the talents of one of the strongest rhythm tandems in Norwegian jazz, bassist Ingebrigt Håker Flaten and drummer Håkon Mjaset Johansen, Dahl offers us a scintillating slice of post-bop jazz, superbly played and well recorded.
