Release date April 26: The craft is tight, the feeling is refreshing, the sound is quick and precise, and the gestalt brings the individual voices of the musicians into group form. - Robin James, All About Jazz. With an all-star, monumentally swinging band in tow, saxophonist Jordan VanHemert returns to his roots on "Deep in the Soil," setting aside his usual tenor saxophone for the alto, and revisiting the sounds and life-force of Charlie Parker, whose music first shaped his playing. With his partners on the front-line - trumpeter Terell Stafford and trombonist/co-producer Michael Dease - and the fleet rhythm section of Helen Sung, Rodney Whitaker and Lewis Nash, VanHemert explodes with a set of modern jazz originals, composed by himself, Dease, Stafford, Jimmy Heath and Sharel Cassity, along with an effervescent arrangement of Stevie Wonder's "Superwoman." "Creative, grounded, and strikingly passionate." - Jazz Sensibilities

Release date May 24: Music has a long history of cultural cross-pollination, where artists draw inspiration from various traditions leading to the evolution of rich and diverse musical genres. Conrad Herwig's current offering is just such a recording. The Latin Side of McCoy Tyner is the latest installment in a critically-acclaimed series that started in 1996 with The Latin Side of John Coltrane. It's the work of a musically gifted, bilingual artist, a master trombonist who grew up admiring jazz's greatest practitioners but, at the same time, cutting his Latin Jazz teeth with legends such as Mario Bauza, Tito Puente, Paquito D'Rivera and others. On the gig here with Herwig, giving the recording and, by extension, the entire "Latin Side of..." project his personal seal of approval, is the great pianist and composer, Eddie Palmieri. Palmieri is surrounded by some of the most respected names in Jazz / Latin Jazz, including Craig Handy, Bill O'Connell, Alex Norris, Robby Ameen and others, all playing imaginative and challenging arrangements by O'Connell and their fearless leader. Here, Conrad Herwig goes directly to the very core of Tyner's compositions and imbues them with the vibrant essence of Afro-Cuban and Afro-Caribbean traditions.

Release date May 17: Adding to her lovingly-long list of Brazilian repertoire and recordings, five-time Grammy Nominee Karrin Allyson embarks on yet another inspired Brazilian adventure, this time including a very special pairing with the legendary singer, composer and guitarist Rosa Passos. Long admiring each other's work, this vocal match made in heaven features Ms. Passos on two songs with Karrin - her own composition "Dunas" (with new English lyrics penned by Karrin) and the classic Vinicius de Moraes' song, "O Grande Amor." Karrin and her stellar band of Brazilian instrumentalists - Rafael Barata on drums and Vitor Goncalves on piano & accordion, along with guitarist Yotam Silberstein and bassist Harvie S - unfurl gorgeous classics such as "So Many Stars," "The Island," "Manha de Carnaval," "Flor de Lis," "Wave," and "Only Trust Your Heart," in a luxuriously grooving, sonic love letter to Brazil.

I haven't heard the Snidero, but I find, in general, trio recordings often don't hold my interest.

Correct on all counts!

I didn't mind the Richard Cook book. It was a fast read, and covered most of the key points. It didn't really tell me anything I didn't already know, but I can't fault it for that. It was generally factual. If you already know the BN story, you might want something more in depth. Try the recent Sonny Rollins bio, or this, which is a personal favorite of mine:

Why not just use the Music (aka iTunes) software that came with your Mac? That's what I use to rip my CDs.

Weirdly enough, this evening I started to read the January 2024 issue of Stereophile. There, in the letters section, is a letter from Jonathan Horwich of Chicago, Illinois.

Definitive is indeed non-official. However, there was another official box set of the Dial material, from Mosaic: It has all the Bird Dial material that's on the "Atlantic" box (really Savoy, but distributed by Atlantic when it first came out), plus a lot more great music besides. It also has a different "hotter" mastering, courtesy of Jonathan Horwich (whatever happened to him?), which some people (Allan Lowe among others) disliked. OOP, so now harder to find. So for pure Bird, choose the "Atlantic" box. But it's nice to have choices.

So sad to hear. RIP.
