A number of interesting new releases...
Romain Pilon - Falling Grace
5th album by the Berklee educated French guitarist, in a very competent trio formation which includes Brad Mehldau's drummer.
Romain Pilon - Guitar
Yoni Zelnik - Bass
Jeff Ballard - Drums
Olivia Trummer - For You
Enjoyable work by the German artist but I appreciate her talent more as a pianist on her earlier releases
Olivia Trummer - Piano, Vocals
Fabrizio Bosso - Trumpet
Rosario Bonaccorso - Bass
Nicola Angelucci - Drums
Jacob Karlzon - Wanderlust
Some electro influence in the Swedish pianist work, won't be to everyone's taste, I did enjoy it. Worth mentioning guest artists
Jacob Karlzon - Piano, Keyboards
Morten Ramsbøl - Bass
Rasmus Kihlberg - Drums
Mathias Eick - Trumpet (Guest)
Dominic Miller - Guitar (Guest)
Helge Lien Trio - Revisited
I like the house sound of the Norwegian trio, although I would welcome a touch of new flavor
Helge Lien - Piano
Johannes Eick - Bass
Knut Aalefjær - Drums
Cécile McLorin Salvant - Ghost Song
Well, I guess some aficionados would have placed this release on top of this list... I'm struggling a bit with CMS lately, she's definitely one of the most technically accurate vocalist of her generation, but maybe sometimes a little too sophisticated? I'm sure many will disagree with me
