Enduring connections. UK free music veterans, drummer Eddie Prevost and saxophonist John Butcher first shared a stage in 1990, as part of guitarist Derek Bailey's famed Company weeks, but they still find plenty of worthwhile things to say to each other on Unearthed. Their encounters have been many over the intervening years, including several previous duo efforts. However, what lends this occasion its distinctive flavor is Prėvost 's decision to bring along a full kit rather than the pared-down elements that he has favored in the past.

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.

Queer music icon Caleb De Casper returns with an exciting new single today, “Sik Culture,” which is a pop disco darkwave track co-written between De Casper and Jonathan Horstmann of synthwave darklords Urban Heat. The collaborators delve deep into humanity’s obsession with apps and virtual identities with the results landing sonically somewhere between Blondie’s “Heart of Glass” and Depeche Mode’s finer moments, performed at the symphony.

The title track(s) from guitarist Mike Miller's World Goes Round (Wakonda Music, 2008), separated on the album, are here placed in sequence for your listening pleasure. The initial melancholy of the Bacharach-tinged Part 1 eventually gives way to its hopeful out-cycle. In part 2, that out-cycle finds a life of its own, seemingly reaffirming the promise of its title. The quintet features drummer Chad Wackerman, bassist Jimmy Johnson, Walt Fowler on trumpet and flugelhorn, and Albert Wing on tenor sax. E'er the sun rises, indeed...

Eric Alexander and Mike LeDonne's album Together is an acknowledgment of the magic that can emerge when two masterful musicians collaborate in a duo setting. This release, featuring nine tracks, captures the essence of their longstanding musical relationship, offering a rich tapestry of spontaneous interplay, deep grooves and expressive storytelling through sound. And that sound was captured as the session was recorded at the iconic Van Gelder Studio at Englewood Cliffs, NJ, with LeDonne performing on Rudy Van Gelder's nine-foot Steinway concert grand.

Reissued as part of ECM's 180gm-vinyl audiophile Luminessence series, Bright Size Life was originally released in 1976 and features Pat Metheny leading his then regular touring trio completed by bassist Jaco Pastorius and drummer Bob Moses. It is a lively and lovely album and rediscovering it should be a delightful experience for anyone who has perhaps left it on the shelf for a few years, particularly delightful given the latest edition's sonic splendor.

Apparently you can roll quite a long way in a decade, slowly or not. To jump from Slowly Rolling Camera's self-titled debut (Edition, 2014) to Silver Shadow feels like hearing two different bands entirely. Granted, just about any outfit would sound completely changed after switching from vocal songs to all-instrumental pieces. Besides that obvious shift in tone, though, this trio's electro-jazz-hop fusion has also come a long way in itself—and yet to those who might have followed them all along, the path leading from that point to this has been a series of perfectly understandable turns. You can hear a throughline of vivid and patient moods all along, while each album stakes out its own niche and their knack for soundscaping continues to evolve.
