In this edition we have a selection of recent jazz and improvised music releases. The playlist moves through chamber‑oriented writing, rhythm‑centred ensemble pieces, contemporary treatments of standards, guitar‑driven abstraction, brass‑focused small‑group work, groove‑based compositions, textural duos, high‑energy electric material, bass‑led writing, reflective ballad forms and early‑1970s reissue material.
