This selection traverses the expansive landscape of contemporary jazz, balancing avant-garde exploration with the foundational weight of archival mastery. The journey begins with the celestial textures of the Ize Trio setting a sophisticated tone that flows through the poetic, boundary-pushing stylings of Alabaster DePlume and the intricate improvisations of Marta Warelis. While the playlist highlights the genre’s current evolution through labels like Relative Pitch, it is grounded by essential historical recordings, notably the Kenny Barron Trio’s live performance in Brecon. This archival gem provides a timeless contrast to the modern energy of Emmet Cohen and the Paul Carlon Trio, weaving together a rich, global tapestry that honours the classic trio tradition alongside the adventurous spirit of today’s improvisers.

This playlist explores the intersection of narrative composition and global rhythmic traditions, anchored by the rich textures of modern jazz. The journey begins with the structured, cinematic layers of Miho Hazama and Jacques Kuba Séguin’s olfactory-inspired trilogy, before shifting into the vibrant Afro-Cuban and Mambo energies of Arturo Sandoval and Tumbao Bravo. Throughout the selection, the mood oscillates between the intimate, melancholic beauty of Elsa Nilsson and Norma Winstone and the rhythmic complexity of Adam Rudolph and Onilu. It culminates in a definitive nod to the avant-garde, bridging the gap between Doug MacDonald’s hard-bop tributes and the seminal, electric fusion of Miles Davis’s “Great Expectations.”
