Here, we have a disc from Jean Derome, one of Ambiances Magnétiques’ founders and one of Québec’s most celebrated musicians. Le sourire features his all-star band Somebody Special and follows the approach found on their self-titled debut release: reimagining the songs of saxophonist and composer Steve Lacy. Derome leads the outfit on alto horn, bass flute and occasional voice, and enlists both collaborators from his longtime trio project (bassist Normand Guilbeault and Pierre Tanguay on drums), then adds the legendary Montréal vocalist Karen Young and the dense, elegant piano work of Alexandre Grogg.

Ritual, out April 10, 2026 via Chill Tone Records, features a community-bridging band with pianist Orrin Evans, saxophonist/flautist Hery Paz, guitarist Emmanuel Michael, bassist Vicente Archer and drummer Michael Sarin

“What marks Curtis out is a resolutely personal sax sound, reflecting Coltrane, Ornette, and some of the tonal tremors of Albert Ayler – but within a composer’s conception flexible enough to embrace both free-collective ensemble invention and subtle structure.” – John Fordham, Jazzwise

“Heatmap radiates with brilliance, highlighting the very act of playing music and the intangible but irreplaceable energy that doing so creates.” – Kira Grunenberg, DownBeat

By grzech In All That Jazz / No Comments

Composer Simon Hanes’ daring and irreverent GARGANTUA is available March 27, 2026 via Pyroclastic Records. On Sunday, March 29 at 4:45 pm they play at Big Ears!

“Albums like this do not appear according to a schedule. They show up unexpectedly like a sudden storm, rearranging not just the patio furniture but the very air itself.” – Mike Borella, Avant Music News

“An epic new work… leaves listeners on the edge of their seat … challenged in an extremely exciting and interesting way. And what an experience it would have been to hear this work in concert!” – Jan Granlie, Salt Peanuts

“… a music that fuses the influences of Hildegarde von Bingen and Tibetan Buddhist choral singing, baroque music and edgy modernism, alpine horns and heavy rock. The combination of vocal polyphony (those harmonized glissandos!), low brass, and rock rhythm becomes a whole that is totally unique and deeply spiritual…. Hanes’ brilliantly realized compositions bring us to the brink of an abyss of wonder and terror.” — Ken Shimamoto, The Stash Dauber

“Complex and richly imaginative, the work unfolds as a conceptual musical journey inspired by film, folklore, and the absurd spirit of Monty Python.” – Thierry de Clémensat, Paris Move

“This is beautiful, scary, simple, and complex music filled with extremes and contradictions…Hanes’ Gargantuahas to be heard to be believed, but for those with an open mind, and big ears, it is an exciting listen.” – Mark Griffith, Modern Drummer

By grzech In All That Jazz / No Comments

Woodwind master Brian Landrus’ powerfully eclectic new album Just When You Think You Know, is out today , March 20, 2026, from BlueLand/Palmetto Records.

“This is one of the best recordings I’ve heard this year so far. It’s just perfect.” – Al Davis, GBH Radio

“Gorgeous melodies and rhythmic groove undercut the finely honed harmonic nature of many of these works, stirring up the sensibilities without holding anyone at arm’s length. Totally accessible, tonally nuanced and enticing music.” – John Hammel, Homegrown Radio NJ

“An explorer of low-register sonorities and a composer with an ear tuned as much to architecture as to atmosphere, Brian Landrus has steadily built a body of work that resists easy categorization. On Just When You Think You Know, he advances that trajectory with a recording that is less a stylistic pivot than a deepening…. Indispensable.” – Thierry de Clémensat, Paris Move

“[Brian Landrus is] a major force on the modern jazz scene.” – Ed Enright, DownBeat

“Landrus displays formidable chops as both a composer… and a virtuoso.” – Matt R. Lohr, JazzTimes
