Jason Moran / Marcus Gilmore / BlankFor.ms - Shards (Red Hook Records, 2026). Very interesting album.  I've listened to it a couple of times today.  

The lady has a great set of pipes.  The arranger knows something about arranging.  But somehow every time it starts to get going with a little jazz feel, it pulls up short and delivers cringey, artsy-fartsy schmaltz...

I already have it and I love the album. Why didn't I think of that before? It's "In light of blackness" from Black Unity Trio "Al-fatihah". Great choice!
