Although reedman Rob Brown has a string of small group leadership outings to his name, dating back to his first, Breath Rhyme (Silkheart) in 1990, Oblongata may be one of his finest. The 2022 studio session reunites him with some of his most enduring collaborators, the same crew responsible for From Here To Hear (Rogue Art, 2019), as well as an outstanding appearance at the 2019 Vision Festival, namely trombonist Steve Swell, bassist Chris Lightcap and drummer Chad Taylor.

Maybe in a world a-tuned to the sound of people seeking their own expressive modal dialogue to negotiate, barter, pray or prevent the king's rise, Gateway would have been the greatest jazz guitar trio album ever made. It certainly feels that way when one slips this handsome disc from its wrappings, handle gently to the turntable, and set the stylus down.

Peter Van Huffel, the Canadian-born saxophonist and composer, has long been a force to reckon with in the avant-garde jazz scene. Known for his work with bands like Gorilla Mask and his various collaborations with other innovative musicians, Van Huffel has consistently pushed the boundaries of jazz, incorporating elements of free improvisation, rock and classical music. His previous albums, such as Boom Crane (Fresh Sounds New Talent, 2014) and The Scrambling Ex (FMR, 2015), displayed his fearless approach to composition and performance. With his latest project, Callisto, and their album Meandering Demons, Van Huffel continues to chart new territories, delivering a collection that is as intense as it is pioneering.

On its way to becoming the stalwart fusion quartet it was in the '90s, Tribal Tech underwent more than a few personnel changes. (TT was more of a non-touring, studio entity in its early days.) One who held the keyboard chair for a scant two songs was Will Boulware. His presence on Dr. Hee (Relativity, 1987) was notable in that those two songs—"Seek and Find" and the above, "Solemn"—were written by him and they remain standouts in the TT canon for their interwoven complexity and modulating motifs. As bodacious as TT would become, it's still something of a gas to hear them straight-up, serving Boulware's wonderfully penned composition.

If you think back to the iconic songs of the '90s, nothing comes to mind faster than “Jump” by Kris Kross. The song topped the Billboard Hot 100 when it came out in 1992 for eight weeks, holding “Bohemian Rhapsody,” “Under the Bridge,” and more classic singles at the No. 2 spot. But we remember little about the hip-hop duo behind it, which consisted of then-13-year-old Chris “Mac Daddy” Kelly and 12-year-old Chris “Daddy Mac” Smith.Chris Kelly, known also as Mac Daddy, grew up alongside Chris Smith in Atlanta.

A dangerous drug that is being mixed into fentanyl is causing those who inject it to develop a rash of sores that resembles a case of flesh-eating bacteria. People experiencing homelessness around Denver can sometimes be seen with these bloody, weeping wounds. I recently mentioned this phenomenon to a fentanyl user who told me about the xylazine connection.
