by Barney Whittaker
Jazzwise Editor's Choices from the October 2023 issue include new music from corto.alto, George Freeman, Alex Hitchcock Dream Band, James Brandon Lewis & Red Lily Quintet, Rob Luft, Wolfgang Muthspiel, Joshua Redman, John Scofield and Shake Stew, plus an extensive reissue of archive materials from Brian Auger's Oblivion Express as well as Art Farmer.
“Lewis’ music is a fitting blend of the passion, intelligence and grace that defined a woman whose spirit is eternal and whose talent remains a monument of modern music.”
“Rob Luft is always travelling, and as he travels, he absorbs every kind of music in his path, creating hallucinogenic new worlds of sound as he goes.”
“Bittersweet and elegiac, [the songs] evoke time and place while also signifying Redman’s joy that musicians are able to join together again in a physical space…”
“It’s his most compelling album for a long while, simply because it captures the freewheeling let’s-see-where-the-music-takes-us ethos that characterises Scofield’s playing in live performance…”
“Even in his 80s, Auger still has the energy to light up a chunk of LA which has been his home since the late 1970s, which is when this run of Oblivion Express albums essentially takes us to.”
