Artists like Madeleine Peyroux (left)<\/em><\/strong> represent my kind of jazz, a genre about which I have learned a good deal from the jazz press that supports the music so well. I\u00b4ll never catch Steve Bewick, of course, our correspondent who is well versed on the scene from here to Vietnam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So \u00a0I was delighted to hear\u00a0 in conversation down at Jazz Junction last week, that Madeleine Peyroux is currently promoting a new video:<\/strong> \u00a0The singer\/songwriter has released a touching video for her new track, “Showman Dan,” written in honor of her long-time friend and mentor Daniel William Fitzgerald, also known as Showman Dan, who passed away in 2017. The video features performance footage, joyful home movies and personal photos honouring the charismatic and generous entertainer. The song appears on Peyroux\u2019s forthcoming album, Let\u2019s Walk<\/em><\/a>,<\/em> which will be released on June 28 on Thirty Tigers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, there are other new releases including \u00a0Even Odds (on the Cygnus label) \u00a0by Dan Weiss (right)<\/em><\/strong>, on which the drummer experiments with diverse approaches to composition and improvisation on this daring and compelling new trio album. According to guys who read Jazziz magazine, the album challenges alto saxophonist Miguel Zen\u00f3n and pianist Matt Mitchell, both long-time collaborators, with Weiss\u2019 inventive drum grooves and heady compositions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also heard that <\/strong>Bird\u2019s Eye <\/strong>(on Pyroclastic) is a new release from Miami-born, New York-based saxophonist and composer David Leon (left).<\/em><\/strong> I\u00b4ve read that the album showcases a fusion of Afro-Cuban and Korean traditional music in his latest album, Bird\u2019s Eye<\/em><\/a><\/em>. Inspired by his studies with master percussionist Manley “Piri” L\u00f3pez Leon forms \u00a0a dynamic trio with Korean-born gayagum player DoYeon Kim and exploratory percussionist\/artist Lesley Mok, the record showcases innovative jazz compositions that draw inspiration from diverse cultural influences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also being self-released round about now is <\/strong>Being<\/em> (<\/strong>jazz pianist Chris Rottmayer\u2019s (right)<\/em><\/strong> fourth album release. The talk is that it contains all original compositions performed by his quartet, including Ross Johnson on trumpet and flugelhorn, Matt Endres on drums and Rufus Reid on acoustic bass. Being<\/em><\/a> <\/em>is a collection of original music, written as part of a study of the jazz pianist Mulgrew Miller and his recordings with the Woody Shaw Quintet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After celebrating the legacy of iconic female vocalists with her 2020 album, The Women Who Raised Me<\/em>, Kandace Springs (left)<\/em><\/strong> showcases her own compositional prowess in a brand new album, Run Your Race, full of original songs. Named for her late father, track star and musician Kenneth “Scat” Springs, the album was produced by Kandace alongside Evan Rogers and Carl Sturken for SRP Records, the label which released Rihanna\u2019s first seven albums.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are those who love jazz recordings, and those who love live jazz and down at Jazz Junction are the many, many more who love both. There was excitement therefore about some upcoming live music particularly that YolanDa Brown (right)<\/em><\/strong> has confirmed her First Ever U.S. Tour:<\/strong> After many years of success in her home country of England, saxophonist YolanDa Brown will embark on her first-ever tour of the United States. Her “Coming to America” tour will kick off on May 26 at New York\u2019s Joe\u2019s Pub and continue onto Chicago, Atlanta, Philadelphia, Minneapolis and Seattle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
