Sons Of Kemet – Ancestral Revolutions

Shabaka Hutchings has become an increasingly powerful musical presence from his days as stellar new kid on the block to star sideman, and now with Sons Of Kemet, as fully blown bandleader.

Gregory Porter – Redemption Songs

Acknowledged as a once-in-a-generation talent, powerhouse soul-jazz singer Gregory Porter’s recent success has been a long time coming, and yet his artistic maturity has helped him produce three superlative albums in as many years.

When John McLaughlin formed THE MAHAVISHNU ORCHESTRA, his twin-necked Gibson guitar served as nothing short of a lightning rod, sending a shockwave of sonic energy into uncharted territory between jazz and rock.

David Murray – A Family Affair

Blazing his own uncompromising trail through his decades-long work with the World Saxophone Quartet and numerous collaborations, DAVID MURRAY’s considerable sax firepower remains a conduit between Coltrane, the Grateful Dead and hip hop band The Roots.
