Vibraphonist and composer Chris Dingman is well known amongst top-level musicians. He's played with Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, Ambrose Akinmusire and Steve Lehman; appeared on over 40 albums; and won industry critics polls. His own recordings stand out for blending technical facility on vibes with introspective ambience. "Inner Child" is one such track, an early path-setting trio composition. After playing the piece with a number of personnel, he discovered exceptional chemistry with bassist Linda May Han Oh and drummer Tim Keiper at one serendipitous gig and recorded the album track live-to-tape with them. The artist hopes the song will rekindle memories of youth for the listener. With an opening framed as a lullaby, the piece becomes undulating, increasingly hypnotic and ultimately healing.

The Austrian keyboardist Zawinul, along with legendary saxophonist Wayne Shorter, were the founders of Weather Report. Kinsey became a prodigy of Zawinul and has done more than just keep the music alive. First came (We Speak Luniwaz:The Music of Joe Zawinul, Whirlwind Recordings, 2019). That studio album affirmed not only Kinsey's affinity for all things Zawinul, it served as a celebration and tribute to his work.

No, pallet shelters for people experiencing homelessness don’t fold into caskets. It’s a question a reader posed one of the first times I wrote about pallet shelters. I find the pallet shelters to be more palatable than ice fishing tents. The Colorado Village Collaborative operates both micro-communities and the so-called Safe Outdoor Spaces with the tents. We all learned the tents are not safe when a fire roared through a CVC Safe Outdoor Space, destroying the compound quickly. Officials never disclosed a cause of the fire.

Sandy Paws Rescue Inc., a foster-based rescue in Massachusetts, is still looking for a forever home for an adorable six-year-old French bulldog named Joannie. The local animal rescue explains: “Joannie was found as a stray extremely emaciated and less than half her current weight now. She was missing fur on her body, face and ears. She has been nursed back to health and is doing wonderfully. While her age and exact history is unknown, it is clear she has mothered more than enough litters in her short lifetime.”

Such is the proliferation of albums which in the 2020s are taking jazz in new and exciting directions—see AAJ's Best Jazz Albums of 2024: All-Star Break Edition round-up here—that it is easy to pass over albums which have their feet firmly planted in the tradition, and which show no ambition to redefine it, but which are by any standards fresh and first-class jazz. Such an album is Nashville-based drummer John Alvey's debut, Loft Glow.
