  New Release:  Songs From Thin Air from Scott Sadlon Release Date: January 28, 2026 Label: Buddha Boy Records Website:  https://scottsadlon1.bandcamp.com/album/songs-from-thin-air https://www.timlefebvremusic.com/ https://www.racheleckroth.com/ Eclectic, abstract, and cinematic, drummer Scott Sadlon collaborates with keyboardist Rachel Eckroth and bassist Tim Lefebvre on his 2026 effort Songs From Thin Air .  Harmonic forms are discovered during the process of performing rather than being formally structured, opening the creators to formulating avenues and fluidity on the spur of the moment as each artist responds to the others movements and interjections.  The outcome is music built from the creators listening to one another as much as performing collectively.  The press release states, "Songs From Thin Air was recorded in June 2022 at Saltmine Studios in Mesa, Arizona, capturing a single-session meeting of three musicians drawing on decades of musical an...

  New Release:  In Motion from Jeremy Green  Release Date:  July 17, 2026 Label:  Independent Website:  https://jeremygreenguitar.com/ Canadian songwriter-leader-guitarist Jeremy Green bridges improvised jazz surges with power rock riffs and soul-funk grooves on his 2026 project In Motion , loaded with all original material written by Green.  His chords soar while intermittently amplified by additional guitarists: Mark Lettieri, Mike Stern, Tim Lefebvre, Rich Brown, Oz Noy, Jared James Nichols, and Allen Hinds.  The arrangements are securely moored by Keith Carlock's pulsating drumbeats, sporadically infused with Chase Baird's billowing saxophone curls, Jimmy Haslip's jaunty bass pumps, Moto Fukushima's animated bass romps on the track "Queen West," and Will Lee's vibrating bass tremors on the title track.  Green's tune "The 55" is a tribute to the now closed Manhattan club 55 Bar, filled with personalized musings by Green, Mike Stern, and Ti...

  New Release:  The Man Who Would Be King from Adam De Lucia Label: Independent Release Date: August 7, 2026 Website:  https://thetektonics.com/ Guitarist, leader and composer Adam De Lucia amasses a symphony of improvised solos and mutable support structures on his recording The Man Who Would Be King , a title inspired by John Huston’s adaptation of the Rudyard Kipling story.  Integrating jazz fusion, funk, blues, and flaming Santana-esque riffs, De Lucia delivers a sonic adventure for the listener through psychedelic soundscapes, rollicking rhythms, and sizzling interplay.  Comprised of 8 original tracks by De Lucia, the music has a spontaneous slant, moving in various directions as the musicians build from one another's threads in each piece.  "Will You Follow” is a prime example, developing solo parts from a single motif that causes shifts in the melodic patterns, heightening in scope and intensity.  The funky furls of Michael Ghegan's tenor sax cr...
