Immersed in thoughts of identity, family and culture, Chicago saxophonist Maddie Vogler commissioned the original cover art depicting the hands of her immigrant grandmothers to frame her debut recording. Steeped in modern jazz while freely exploring Vogler's relationship with her Cuban roots, her nine original compositions are brimming with adventurous rhythmic energy and melodic soulfulness. Her musical mentor, trumpeter Tito Carrillo, shares the front line, while the rhythm section of Matt Gold, Jake Shapiro, Samuel Peters, and Neil Hemphill provide a percolating momentum on tunes such as "The Need To Be," an elegiac gait on "Corridors," or a driving, Afro-Cuban flavored 9/8 on "Check Engine Light." While We Have Time is an expansive and striking debut, planting Vogler squarely within Chicago's historical jazz lineage.

Recorded in March 1961 but not released until December that year, this studio album was the switch back to a small-group effort following the big-band project Sketches of Spain. It featured a balance of standards and new originals, all named for people in Miles’ life at the time), with hardbop tenorman Hank Mobley new to the lineup, adding his tone and bebop feel to the mix (or not, like on “Teo,” titled with the name of producer Teo Macero, with its sly, Latin vibe and his old sideman John Coltrane on tenor, sculpting a smoldering solo.)

Like the live album released before it, Someday reveals Miles’ affection for his wife; the title itself seems a statement on their union. She’s again prominent on the cover, eyebrows raised, bold and composed. She has another song dedicated to her—the snappy, back-and-forth themed “Pfrancing” (aka “No Blues”)—and other tracks share a similar loose-limbed, jaunty feel. There are sentimental, more introverted tracks as well: “Drad Dog” (referencing Columbia Records president Goddard Lieberson—his first name spelled backwards— and re-employing the chords and muted mood of “Blue In Green”), “Old Folks” (featuring Mobley feeling his way through a stellar improvisation with his deep-in-the-bell tone), and “I Thought About You.”

Guitarist and composer Neal Alger is well-known for his stylistic breadth and musical intuition through his frequent collaborations with Patricia Barber (he appears on a half dozen of her Blue Note recordings) and countless other artists. With Old Souls, Alger refocuses attention on his own music for the first time on record since his 2002 debut, Here and Now, There and Before. Aided and abetted by Chicago all-stars Dana Hall (drums), Clark Sommers (bass), Chris Madsen (tenor) and Chad McCullough (trumpet), Alger offers up a rich and varied selection of his own compositions both new and old.

Alger’s return to a more straight-ahead instrumental setting was organic but also intentional. “I play a lot of other people’s music,” says the guitarist. “I wanted to carve out a space to play my own music. I enjoy the process of writing- painstaking and frustrating at times, but ultimately fulfilling.” A professor at Elmhurst College, Alger found himself frequently writing for horns in his students’ groups. This led to expanding his own band to a quintet to explore more contrapuntal textures and harmonic colors. Madsen, an old associate from Alger’s Blue Note Quartet, brings his impeccable musicianship and expansive voice to compliment the full range of Alger’s palette. Of McCullough, a more recent associate, Alger says “I really admire what Chad is doing, bringing these different colors from his travels into the music.” Sommers and Hall, both of whom Alger has known since the late 90s, are among the first-call bass and drum teams in Chicago, contributing their potent rhythmic drive to recent Calligram releases from Geof Bradfield and Scott Hesse as well.

Oscar Peterson’s trio with Ray Brown and Ed Thigpen is widely regarded as Peterson’s “classic trio,” considered by fans as the most popular and in-demand of his long and storied career (featured on releases such as 1963’s Night Train and 1964’s We Get Requests). Recorded during their creative peak in 1964 (5 years into their collaboration), this previously unheard and unreleased live performance is destined to become a fan favorite from the Oscar Peterson vaults. In his memoir Peterson reflects on the dedication that Ray and Ed brought to the group:

"In addition to our trio rehearsals, therefore, Ray would call his own rehearsals in his or Ed’s room and they would simply practice ‘time.’ They created a flexible and multi-faceted rhythmical language that they could apply to any musical statement I might make and enhance any direction I might choose. In short, they practiced ‘all the possibles.’”

Saxophonist/flutist Sharel Cassity and drummer/composer Colleen Clark flex their veteran chops as they lead their group Alliance through an enticing and powerful set of jazz compositions. This includes works by Herbie Hancock, Mary Lou Williams, Jimmy Heath, and Mulgrew Miller, plus captivating new tunes by Clark and other members of Alliance, bassist Carmani Edwards, pianist Hannah Mayer, and special guest trumpeter Kellin Hanas, all leading voices in the emerging generation of jazz musicians.

Franz is one of the few active musicians who was there when jazz was an infant. He’s been playing professionally for more than seventy years and is one of the great tenor sax players of all time. Franz has led his own groups and worked with Roy Eldridge, Fats Waller, Fletcher Henderson, Cootie Williams, Earl Hines, Red Allen, Wilber deParis and many others. He’s an imaginative writer/arranger as heard on his four originals on Yellow Fire, the title track being a re-visit to a wonderful song originally recorded by Earl Hines. The Salty Dogs saga began in 1947. They have a large and loyal following all over the U.S. and are one of the leading exponents of the West Coast style of traditional jazz. Franz first played with the Salty Dogs in 1956 andYellow Fire is a wonderfully enjoyable reunion. Thirteen songs include “Zuddan”, “Southside” and “Dippermouth Blues”.
