Anna Koroleva: OCEAN INSIDE, ArtBeat
For 20 years, the Russian jazz community knew Anna Koroleva as an inspired alto sax player, who also liked to sing. This double album reveals her in a totally new capacity: not a single sax note - she plays piano (in a trio setting with bassist Daria Chernakova and drummer Vartan Babayan) and does so with a lot of pep and vigor, producing lengthy polyrhythmic, polystylistic grooves. On disc one, she is marrying Latin rhythms with European harmony; on disc two she is researching ancient folk tunes from the Northern regions of Russia.

Kuzu Purle: DARK OPAL, Aerophonic
The saxophone player Dave Rempis with Tashi Dorji on guitar and Tyler Damon on drums. Their third recording, and this time, live from The Sugar Maple in Milwaukee. One long song with a lot of energy and power. I love it!

Thundercat: IT IS WHAT IT IS, Brainfeeder
Once again six-string bass virtuoso, singer and songwriter Stephen Bruner aka Thundercat invites listeners into his eccentric musical world with a hybrid of jazz fusion, neo-soul, r&b and electronica on this fourth album as a leader. Kamasi Washington and Flying Lotus are tight collaborators again, also Steve Arrington, Louis Cole and BadBadNotGood gild this album - a portrait of living with uncertainty and grief.

Łukasz Ojdana: KURPIAN SONGS & MEDITATIONS, Audio Cave
Pianist Łukasz Ojdana is at 29 one of the most interesting young jazz musicians to have emerged on the Polish jazz scene in the last few years. He has already recorded several albums with the revered RGG Trio, but this is his first outing as a leader. A solo piano effort, KURPIAN SONGS & MEDITATIONS is his imaginary excursion into the land of Kurpie, a north-eastern region of Poland noted for its unique traditional customs, dances, and slow, wistful melodies. It features ten „songs” as well as ten loose „meditations.” Ojdana is enriching and expanding the original folk motifs with his improvisations, daring harmonies, changing rhythms and tempos. A standout piece is „Song IV,” an expressive piano-vocal duet.
