The Melissa Aldana records are great as well. And my friend, trumpeter Brandon Woody just got signed.

Thanks David, heartbreaking to hear, as I am still very much in my own CD era (as are many of us here).  I have started breaking down and paying for downloads at times for stuff of special interest to me that likely won't be seeing CD release, but even downloads aren't available for a lot of desired material which is vinyl-only.  The Nathan Davis ORTF release comes immediately to mind in that regard. Thanks, I'll give Ross, Wilkins, and Artemis a listen.  I've always been OK with Branford, think he's gotten a bad rap through the decades due to his infamous brother. Good idea, thanks.

I really couldn't tell you about the albums they have made but Joel Ross and Immanuel Wilkins are excellent musicians and certainly have the potential to make compelling music. Artemis is a really good band and if you like Branford Marsalis....
