For more on Beleza Pura , check All About Jazz's review of the album . Next up is "Wayne's World," a single from Helen Sung 's Oracles (Sunnyside, 2026), her first big band release.

More information on Oracles is in AAJ's review of the album . Next in line are a few tunes from Francesca Confortini and Ryan Mackenzie 's Mosaico (Tessera ...

    Listen to this week's show      We're spinning Javon Jackson 's extraordinary mainly-instrumental album Jackson Plays Dylan on this week's program. As a bonus, we're inserting some original Bob Dylan tracks, to underline the lyric. No need for it when you have Lisa Fischer 's jawdropping "Gotta Serve Somebody" and Nicole Zuraitis ' "Forever Young" (or "Blowin' in the Wind"), but salutary with regard to tunes like "Hurricane" and "Tombstone Blues"...

    Listen to this week's show      Starting off this week's radio program with a magical single from Crazy World , the new album from  AS IS, featuring Al & Stacey Schulman . With the help of Kokayi , they've managed to turn a romantic  Cole Porter  song into a contemporary something-else-entirely. Our theme is topical, and the releases range from offerings that are new to this moment to outstanding oldies from the '60s, '70s, '80s and aughts: names like Nascimento , Mingus , Marsalis , Toussaint , Staples , and Nyro , along with treasures from lesser-known and emerging artists.    Click the YouTube (below) to hear a related bonus video  of "Ballo Sardo" from Savina Yannatou and Primavera in Salonico .
