Chris Standring returns in 2026 with a heartfelt eleven song collection of inspired compositions drawing on influences from a golden age. This retro-soulful set harks back to a familiar, perhaps nostalgic time when sophisticated arrangements and beautiful harmonies where all in fashion. Featuring a top-flight four piece horn section and a vast array of orchestral colors, alongside Chris' unique guitar tones, Time Of Change takes you on an invigorating journey from start to finish. - True to the concept inherent in the title of the collection, the multi-talented performer's infectious blend of introspective and fast grooving/danceable compositions, intricate texturing and moody atmospheres is a natural outgrowth and organic expression of this unique period of his life where he's simultaneously reflecting on the past and excited about the great personal and musical adventures to come. Though he's enjoyed over 15 Billboard Top 10 singles and eight #1's - most recently with "Change the World" from Simple Things (2022) and "Top Hat & Tails" from As We Think (2024) - Standring insists that over the course of his past few projects, his writing has not been aimed at radio airplay but as a way to keep himself sane, happy and moving forward creatively. Inevitably, several tracks poppin' from his Benedetto archtop electric will catch the ear of programmers, but he's less focused on commercial success than digging in deeper, following the muse and the music.

Two worlds, one conversation. On Nuit Parisienne � La Havane, Cuban piano virtuoso Roberto Fonseca and French cellist Vincent Segal capture the magic of a first encounter - no rehearsals, no plan, just pure music. Recorded in Havana over five days, this album is a celebration of spontaneity, friendship, and the art of listening. Here, Paris meets Havana. The warmth of Cuban rhythms embraces the sophistication of French melody; echoes of danz�n, chanson, classical and African influences intertwine seamlessly. Every track feels alive: breathing, shimmering, unfolding like a dream that could only happen once. At a time when music is often polished, programed, and overproduced, Fonseca and Segal remind us what happens when you let go of control. This is music that doesn't need to prove anything, it simply is. Deeply human, effortlessly cinematic, Nuit Parisienne � La Havane feels like watching eleven short films through sound: poetic, emotional, and timeless. Whether you're drawn to jazz, world, or classical music (or simply crave something honest and alive), this record will find it's way under your skin. It's an album to return to again and again, always revealing something new.

Marion Rampal's Song for Abbey is a tribute to Abbey Lincoln-singer, composer, poet, activist, actress-whose art reshaped jazz through voice, writing, and stance. Lincoln rejected convention and built a body of work that joined poetry, melody, and moral clarity. Her late career revealed a powerful catalogue of original songs, deeply personal and still rarely covered. Rampal approaches Lincoln as a living influence rather than a distant monument. The album revisits key works from Lincoln's repertoire and sets them alongside pieces that illuminate her roots and affinities-Oscar Brown Jr., Bob Dylan, standards such as Skylark-mapping the sources that nourished her imagination. Songs such as Caged Bird, Learning How to Listen, and The Music Is the Magic are treated as present tense, not archival objects. Guest appearances from Bill Frisell and Archie Shepp mark continuity rather than nostalgia. Frisell's guitar brings lyric economy. Shepp, once close to Lincoln, joins Rampal in newly created music, linking memory with current creation. The arrangements avoid imitation. They search for the structural core of each song-speech rhythm, dramatic line, silence as active element. Rampal's vocal approach privileges articulation, text, timbre, and narrative clarity, drawing on jazz, blues, and folk without display. The result is not pastiche but reactivation: Lincoln's questions about self, freedom, and responsibility in sound are carried forward. Song for Abbey also presents Lincoln as an artist who resisted constraint-industry pressures, gendered expectations, racial projections-not through manifesto but through work. Independence is audible in the songs themselves: direct language, exact phrasing, demanding listening. The album acts as remembrance and renewal, lively rather than reverential, combining melody with free, untamed passages. It conveys the force of an artist who understood jazz as a medium for shaping voice and character.

Ella Fitzgerald -"Sings the Rodgers and Hart Song Book (Verve Acoustic Sounds Series)" The second of her celebrated song book albums and heralded as one of the best vocal jazz albums ever made, Ella and arranger/conductor Buddy Bregman began work on the Rodgers and Hart sessions three months after the release of her Cole Porter Song Book. Like it's predecessor, it features the cream of West Coast session musicians, many of whom graced the fabulous recordings that Frank Sinatra was making around the same time in the same studio. Maynard Ferguson (trumpet), Milt Bernhart (trombone), Herb Geller, Ted Nash & Bud Shank (reeds), Barney Kessel (guitar), and Alvin Stoller (drums). The album is full of standards that everyone knows and loves, but in Ella's hands these songs become even more special. Standouts include "There's a Small Hotel," "You Took Advantage of Me," and the perennial, "My Funny Valentine." Verve's Acoustic Sounds Series features transfers from analog tapes and remastered 180g vinyl in deluxe gatefold packaging.

Freedom of Art is the soul-stirring second album from acclaimed bassist, composer, and educator Corcoran Holt. Known for his work with jazz titan Kenny Garrett and for his emotive style steeped in lineage and innovation, Holt delivers a powerful statement on life, love, and legacy. Recorded with a stellar ensemble-including Stacy Dillard, Josh Evans, Benito Gonzalez, Kweku Sumbry, and Lewis Nash-this 15-track album blends traditional jazz values with deeply personal storytelling. From the heartfelt "Theme for Ma" to the spiritual energy of "Kiss to the Skies," Freedom of Art celebrates both ancestry and new beginnings. Standout moments include tributes to jazz greats like Benny Golson and Ray Brown, as well as intimate performances with Holt's own family. Whether you're a lifelong jazz listener or new to the genre, this album invites you to reflect, rejoice, and rediscover the beauty of music as personal testimony.
