release date:10.10.2025 on Elastic Recordings

Toronto tenor saxophonist and composer Harrison Argatoff is still a fairly new addition to the city’s jazz and improvised music ecosystem, and yet he has managed to ascend rapidly within its ranks, garnering admiration and collaboration from a number of his elder peers. One could easily attribute this to the imaginative array of projects he has hatched since graduating from the University of Toronto’s Jazz program seven years ago.

By grzech In All That Jazz /   No Comments

Due out October 10, 2025,

Reflections on: The Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man is a powerful commentary from one of the most important voices in modern jazz.

“A cult hero and musician’s musician in jazz circles, a tenor player with a sound and language of his own, at once postmodernist and attuned to the lessons of pan-historical jazz lore.” – Josef Woodard, DownBeat

Musicians make albums every day. But statements come along far less often. With his latest release, Reflections on: The Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man, tenor saxophonist Mark Turner has crafted a magnum opus both deeply personal and macrocosmic in its exploration of social issues.

[ October the 3rd, 2025 release via Intakt Records, Sylvie Courvoisier & Wadada Leo Smith – Angel Falls ]

By grzech In All That Jazz /   No Comments

Angel Falls, out October 3, 2025 via Intakt Records, thrives on the pair’s exceptional chemistry, fearless improvisational flights and shared sense of form

“Whenever I’ve played onstage with Sylvie Courvoisier… it’s always been a journey that has been mutual and creative. She’s got courage, and you can see it when she’s at the piano: When she is inspired to go toward something, she doesn’t just go near it, she advances as if she’s going there to save creation.” – Wadada Leo Smith, New York Times

Angel Falls, the scintillating duo between Sylvie Courvoisier and Wadada Leo Smith, hasn’t materialised out of thin air. A product of mutual admiration, it arrives after a series of encounters in larger ensembles. The pianist and trumpeter first played together in 2017 at a concert organised by John Zorn.

[ September 26th, 2025 release via Pyroclastic Records, Craig Taborn, Nels Cline and Marcus Gilmore – Trio of Bloom ]

By grzech In All That Jazz /   No Comments

On Trio of Bloom, their self-titled debut release out September 26, 2025 via Pyroclastic Records, three wholly singular artists – Craig Taborn, Nels Cline and Marcus Gilmore –  converge for their first-ever meeting, creating what Nate Chinen of WRTI calls a “new-groove supergroup.”

…a first-time collaboration that feels like the work of a proper band. These three players are well-known in the orbits of progressive jazz and beyond, and a particular alchemy occurs between them here…. While each has showed impressive range in the past, ‘Trio of Bloom’… startles with its breadth, touching on serene sonic ambience, funky Afrobeat flow and scrambling avant-jazz.”  – Hank Shteamer, The New York Times

“The entire record is shot through with a kind of brimming intensity and an audible joy…These guys were simply made to play together…Killer stuff.” – Jason Bivins, Point of Departure

“…this music is full of riffs and thunder, with Cline searing the air, Taborn creating auditory illusions and Gilmore thundering behind them. But quiet, atmospheric moments abound too, and are just as worthwhile.” – Phil Freeman, The Wire

The new duo Arid Landscapes‘ self-titled debut on CD and digitally.  Composed of gifted and adventurous Canadian players Dan Pitt (guitar & electronics) and Noah Franche-Nolan (piano, synth, electronics), the band successfully marries textural and jazz-informed lyricism as well as timbral exploration with subtle rhythmic drive. Moreover, they’ve achieved an elegant balance between electroacoustic manipulation and pure instrumental sonorities, allowing their imagination in both realms to shine equally brightly.
