release date: 20.06.2025 on Fresh Sound New Talent Records

The New York-based Saxophonist/Composer Hillai Govreen releases the new recording “Every Other Now“. It is the first one I heard since the little track called Face Down In The Dirt, recorded live at Ornithology by Jimmy Katz. The other two, also present on the Bandcamp platform, are Duo recordings with pianist Nitsan Kolko. Those two, Allusions & Passing Through, released just a few months apart from each other, go back to 2021 and already show Govreens’ talents towards building melody-based atmospheric moods.

[ June 16th, 2023 via Solid Jackson Record: Javon Jackson’s ‘With Peter Bradley’ Soundtrack and Original Score ]

“With Peter Bradley” Soundtrack and Original Score – out today June 16, 2023 via Solid Jackson Records – features Jackson’s stellar quartet with pianist Jeremy Manasia, bassist David Williams and drummers McClenty Hunter or Charles Goold, with guest trumpeter Greg Glassman. Jackson’s gift for musical portraiture is evident in the score, which nods to some of Bradley’s favorite jazz icons – including Miles Davis, John Coltrane and Jackson’s former employer, Art Blakey – while vibrantly capturing the moods and personalities of the film and its subject.

“Javon Jackson has a lengthy history as a leathery-toned and warm tenor-sax man.” – A.D. Amorosi, JazzTimes
“Peter Bradley’s taste in music is as hip as it gets… [So] he should be very happy with Javon Jackson’s original soundtrack (so should all viewers of discerning taste). The tenor player definitely evokes the vibe of vintage Blue Note hardbop, but he keeps it a bit lighter and springier, to help propel the film along.” – Joe Bendel, J.B. Spins
