Release date August 29: George Coleman's résumé is the stuff of legend. He cut his jazz teeth alongside some giants of the art form, joining Max Roach's ensemble in the 1950s, the Miles Davis Quintet, along with the bands of Herbie Hancock, Chet Baker and Elvin Jones. Mention must also be made of his work as a leader, which has inspired literally generations of saxophonists. Even with such an all-inclusive career, Coleman is still full of surprises and here on his new recording he gives his audience something they've never heard from him before - his first recording backed by a string orchestra. If you're into jazz history, you know this kind of project has some serious roots. Think Charlie Parker's "With Strings," or Stan Getz's "Focus"-albums where sax players let their lyrical side shine through lush orchestral arrangements. Coleman Hawkins did it. Ben Webster, too. Now, George Coleman joins the club, and it was certainly worth the wait. So why strings, and why now? Because Coleman is still growing. Still reaching. He's telling you a story he's been holding onto for years. This project isn't just another notch in his belt-it's a gift, plain and simple. An autumnal gem from a living legend, it gives us all a new way to hear George Coleman-still pushing boundaries, still playing from the heart. Trombonist Conrad Herwig, one of the most adventurous voices in Latin jazz, is back with a terrific new Savant release. This time he's teamed up again with the legendary Eddie Palmieri, a true icon of the genre, and bassist Luques Curtis, forming a trio that breaks all the rules. What sets this album apart? There's no drummer. In a musical style as rhythm-centric as Latin jazz, going drumless is almost unheard of - but that's precisely what makes this project so exciting. Curtis keeps the pulse moving forward with his rock-solid, melodic bass playing, while Palmieri fires up all his usual excitement and rhythmic complexity, using the piano like a percussion instrument. Herwig, of course, soars over it all with his high-flying, bold and fluid trombone sound. Herwig and Palmieri go way back, having played together on several of Palmieri's Grammy-winning records. With "Reflections-Facing South," they strip things down to the essentials, and the result is Latin jazz like you've never quite heard it before-energetic, unfiltered and full of surprises.

Release date August 29: English jazz musician John Surman's three albums for Deram, dating from 1969, 1970 and 1971.

Release date August 8: A trailblazer who reshaped jazz fusion through his work with Miles Davis, the Mahavishnu Orchestra, and Shakti, McLaughlin brings over five decades of innovation to this electrifying 90-minute set. Backed by his longtime band The 4th Dimension and featuring award-winning Cuban pianist Jany McPherson as special guest, this release is a masterclass in genre-defying musicianship. The setlist draws from every corner of McLaughlin’s expansive musical journey, including fan favorites like “New Blues Old Bruise” and “El Hombre Que Sabia”—a heartfelt tribute to friend and flamenco legend Paco De Lucia. The band also delivers inspired renditions of Pharoah Sanders’ spiritual jazz epic “The Creator Has a Master Plan” and Piero Piccioni’s cinematic gem “The Light at the Edge of the World.” Recorded with cutting-edge mobile technology and mixed by George Murphy (Shakti, Mumford & Sons, Ellie Goulding) at Eastcote Studios in London, Live at Montreux Jazz Festival 2022 is more than a concert—it's an immersive experience that captures the soul, skill, and spontaneity of a guitar legend hailed by Jeff Beck as “the greatest living guitarist.” CD/BR:BR 1.
