Celebrating 15 years together, Hanna Paulsberg Concept releases their fifth album, “Himmel over Hav” on Grappa today. For the first time, the quartet teams up with vocalist Elin Rosseland, creating a musical landscape where lyrical melodies, powerful grooves, and improvisational freedom seamlessly intertwine.
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.”
“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.

“Rothenberg pushes sonic and spatial barriers… as he explores combinations of vacillating intervals and knotty melodic kernels, and balances evolving patterns with ripe arpeggios and colourful harmonics.” – Fred Bouchard, DownBeat
“Rothenberg reconciles an unapologetically cerebral approach with accessibility and emotional expression. No mean feat, indeed.” – Peter Margasak, Chicago Reader
Créole Renaissance, out August 29, 2025 via Intakt Records, is Ortiz’s first solo piano outing in eight years and a fascinating musical and intellectual interpretation of the African diaspora
“One hears the firm imprint of Cuba’s musical heritage on Ortiz’s compositional style: the pulse of African-derived beats, the modern vocabulary of classical pianism and the abandon of free improvisation.” – Suzanne Lorge, DownBeat
“Cuban-born pianist and composer Aruán Ortiz is constantly evolving, experimenting and injecting new elements into his craft.” – Karl Ackermann, All About Jazz

The pianist and composer Christian Wallumrød creates music out of silence. Like a visual artist making marks on paper, Wallumrød works away at the blankness of negative space with sound. You could say that sometimes he seems to prefer sound to music, and silence to either, so reticent is his governing aesthetic of less-is-more. This customary method, coupled with a playful air of sensuous quietude, can engender a deeply satisfying listening experience. People who like Christian Wallumrød’s music tend to be partisans who hold it very dear.
